Why Arnold’s Socceroos future hinges on beating Tunisia | VinceRugari
Tunisia expected to have huge fan support for the matchIt doesn’t take long at a World Cup for crunch time to arrive. It’s allvibes until a first-up defeat, which leaves no margin for error, ratchets up the tension and darkens the outlook. Rightly or wrongly, Graham Arnold’s Socceroos legacy now almost entirely hinges on what happens next.Australia won their last World Cup match against Serbia“I haven’t slept for a long time, wanting that so much,” Arnold said.
“They were down, they were disappointed, of course. But I grabbed them and told them how proud I was of work ethic and their commitment,” he said.“All the stats showed that they put in 100 per cent plus. But it’s those little mistakes that turn into big mistakes. I just said to, ‘You’re going to remember this for the rest of your life, mate.
“Craig Goodwin, the seventh Australian ever to score a goal at a World Cup. Come on, seventh – so let’s be realistic.” That match generated the best atmosphere of the tournament so far, and on the pitch, there was a symbiotic relationship between the acts of defensive commitment from the players and the approving roar of the crowd, a circuit Australia must break to be any chance.
