Mega Fauna-less 'Roos down Bahrain

Comfortable win sets RBF-ers bitching across the country.

Ok, everyone likes goals. And we don't score so many. I can see this is a problem.

But I'm getting a bit sick of hearing about "disappointing this, disappointing that".

2-0 to us. How would you like to be a Pom - they haven't scored in 2 games, and get absolutely embarrassed by those dirty Croatians? Would you prefer that?

Chill the fuck out and wait and see what happens when the big Asian Cup matches roll in. Then you can start your bitch mouths flapping.

I don't want to hear it...

no more...

end of story...

Well...

Except to say this:

3-4-1-2. Anyone?

And (just to extend this rant a little longer), let's face it, there is no such thing as "full-strength squad" when you've got an injured Mega Fauna watching from the sidelines. Good to see the Dodo get a run though. How bout giving him a start now Arnie?

Also, props to the guy who re-monikered that defender who is supposedly the future of Australian football: Bitchamp - love it!

PS Is there a country call Byran? If so, I think we beat them last night too (must have been an Olyroo rematch after the first 90 minutes, or something).

Goodbye Poppa, Workhorse, Spider and Heartbeat ... hello B-Chump.

After 88 minutes of frustration, RBF favourite Tony Popovic looked to have landed a dream retiree goal to give the Socceroos a deserved win against an uninspired Paraguay.

...Until a ridiculous injury-time blunder by "A-leaguer come good", Mickey Beauchamp, gifted a result back to the South Americans.

So, the four veterans didn't quite get the send-off they would've liked. But it seemed a fitting farewell, in that nothing has ever come easy to these 'Roos and it gives them a parting taste of all the heartbreak they have become accustomed to throughout their careers.

On the bright side, it was only a friendly, and if it teaches poor B-Chump not to act like a twit in his own penalty box in the Asian Cup, it will be a valuable lesson indeed.

So, bring on Bahrain next week ... but first bring back that young gun, Travis the Dodo. I likes the look of him (good nickname too).
