And so what some people don't realize is he actually hasn't played a lot of soccer for the last couple of years.
I think he did his Achilles two years ago.
And then our other wing back is Burgess, 194 centimeters.
He played 5'8 for the Blues.
And so they had this like, like all jokes aside, I think he was like 5'7, tiny.
And so, look, I understand the initial tactic for that.
So...
If you're playing a team that's going to park the bus, you almost want to create these like small triangles around them in attack.
So you've got like a player there, two players there, and it's almost like playing through them with short passing and really deft touch.
But for some bizarre reason, Turkey just either didn't have the skill set to do it or just refused to.
And we're trying to cross it in, trying to shoot from fucking forever away.
And Queensland, Queensland, Australia just said, thanks for coming.
Fuck that.
Queensland spirit, Queensland spirit, baby.
Fuck yeah.
Because of our goalie, he's from Penrith.
And so, yeah, like they, they, they tactically were terrible.
They didn't take off the small fella until like, I think it was like the 75th or 80th minute.
and then and basically the plan for australia was is like defend our backsides off cramp the i guess the box um and win with our strength and size in the small areas now again the tactic against that could be a smaller um i guess a smaller forward line that can play in triangles around the defense however it's got to be small smart quick passing to slowly slowly edge your way into the box or try to draw them out the problem was uh australia we're not getting drawn out
Anyway, so, and then what the plan was essentially is kick it long and get him on the counter attack because we have a relatively tall striker and then we've got Aaron Kunda who is fast as fuck.
