The All Whites are the New Zealand national team. Nothing to do with us Aussies!
And, we still have a good team thats capable of doing great things, we just have a shit coach. Pim Verbeek, always makes us play this shitty 4-2-3-1 and is very defensive oriented. Josh Kennedy is our starting striker, and Scott McDonald (Celtic) is the back up, unfortunately neither are us good as Mark Viduka in that lone striker role. If only the big man would come out of international retirement
We're still getting used to the Asian Confederation, and once we figure out all the teams aren't easy beats and pushovers, and start to play against them with respect, you will see us get better results. We are still the number 1 ranked team in Asia. Did you see us against Japan last June? We were all over them.
Emerton (Blackburn), Kewell (Galatasaray), Cahill (Everton), Schwarzer (Fulham), Bresciano (Palermo), Grella (Blackburn), Neill (Everton), Wilkshire (Dinamo Moscow). All players who play at a very high level week in week out. There isnt many players in our team from our domestic league. Only Craig Moore and Jason Culina who were both formerly of Rangers and PSV respectively
I think if we get a decent group at the WC, I would fancy us to go alright. We are very very hard to break down. Like I said, bring on the US of A.
