Graham Arnold

And I want you to get yourself mentally ready for this game and sleep well.

And, again, they did.

They got off social media and, you know, that type of thing.

I've kept doing it.

As soon as we get into camp, and they did it in Monterey as well, you know, and obviously it shows that it works.

I pleaded to the people that came to the games publicly, but I also pleaded to the 46 men, you've got to believe in the boys, back us, support us.

And especially the people that are coming to the stadium, you have to be our 12th man.

You've got to make it as hard as possible for the UAE to help us qualify for this World Cup.

And they did a brilliant job.

Right from the start, every time the UAE had the ball, they were booing to make it difficult for the UAE players to communicate.

And...

As soon as we went down 1-0, I thought, well, this is going to be interesting to see how the fans react.

And they reacted by cheering and supporting.

And it really gave that motivation and adrenaline to the players to go up to another level.

But again, it was probably that was the bit of the needle that the players needed to go 1-0 down because straight after that, we were a different team.

And we obviously, in the last 30 minutes, we dominated the whole game.

And Amari with the free kick, left-footed.

Mene, only on the field, sent on by Graham Arnold only, what, five, six minutes ago.

And he's levelled it.

They're running away to celebrate.
