I'm surprised there's not been a thread up for this.

We're down 2-0 after half an hour courtesy of two dire pieces of defending. South Korea are out-enthusing us and look far more organised, whereas our few offensive raids have looked more promising than the majority of theirs have any right to.

McDonald has scuffed a through ball opportunity and Kennedy's nodded one just wide. The back, with the exception of Kisnorbo, has looked shaky.

Shane Steffanuto is just a touch of eye liner away from looking like somebody from Panic at the Disco.

Jeez, we're looking enterprising and sharp in attack. Carle and McDonald are having fun. Kisnorbo still looks the only safe option (of the four playing) at the back.

You are kidding, Kisnorbo is rubbish.

Grella and Cullina were very poor. Once again Culina passing backwards and sideways, and this time not even accurately. Steffanuto should have just let it go out though.

Kisnorbo - absolute spastic, I don't care if he scored. He's slow, uncoordinated and just plain sh*t. f**k him off.

North - see above, except the slow part. He's rubbish.

Holman is still geniused. Carle's first few touches were better than Holman's entire contribution.

Agree with HT.

Kisnorbo is garbage, he is playing in League 1 ffs, surely Williams would have been a better option? Or even Chris Coyne?

Your personal opinion of the man aside - he was still our best player in a shoddy back four. I never said he set the world afire.

Didnt see the whole game, but I think we all know that back 4 was just experimental...giving players a run etc and seeing how they go.

Best to see guys like steffanuto and kisnorbo in a friendly against south korea rather than in a world cup.

Milligan was better. Though all of them were sh*t. Our depth in defense is non-existent.

Kisnorbo is a horrible, horrible player who is nowhere near good enough at international level.

Milligan will only get better though. He is someone who atleast has an international future.

Neill and Moore will start at South Africa, beyond that we've got Spiranovic(if he cant start playing for Nuremburg), Mark Milligan and Michael Beauchamp (again, if he can start playing). No need for Patrick Kisnorbo at the WC IMO. Those guys can do the job.

If Spiranovic starts playing, he should probably even start.
