Aye he probably did but there are still some good players amongst that lot especially in comparison to the "lesser" countries that get to world cup finals that usually have squads inferior to the likes of Bolton and Wigan!Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Aye. They even won a game!
I think it's entirely possible that Hiddink made more than the sum of parts including - to take seven starters from the first game as an example - Craig Moore, Scott Chipperfield, Luke Wilkshire, Brett Emerton, Mark Bresciano, Vince Grella and Jason Culina...

True, but the best club sides in the world probably have squads that are superior to, for example, England (or most other countries) because they have no nationality restrictions.BWFC_Insane wrote:Aye he probably did but there are still some good players amongst that lot especially in comparison to the "lesser" countries that get to world cup finals that usually have squads inferior to the likes of Bolton and Wigan!Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Aye.

Oh undoubtedly. One of the major problems is that club football is actually stronger on the whole now than international football!Montreal Wanderer wrote:True, but the best club sides in the world probably have squads that are superior to, for example, England (or most other countries) because they have no nationality restrictions.BWFC_Insane wrote:Aye he probably did but there are still some good players amongst that lot especially in comparison to the "lesser" countries that get to world cup finals that usually have squads inferior to the likes of Bolton and Wigan!Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Aye.

Are you suggesting, sir, that the fine fair and fettled citizens of this country are a mob of drifters? How dare you! Dawn tomorrow, you vagabond. Behind Lower Fold and bring your second and pewter. Once we have both missed both ye and me, along with our aides and the doctor, shall retire to the White Horse or Royal Oak (your choice) to gently chuckle over reminiscences of previous doings and, of course, the vagaries of football.
Oh yes: Might I borrow your spare kevlar vest - just in case?
