No heart from the Aussies for most of the game. That's unfortunate; what they should have used was veteran savvy, not try and match skill for skill. What they should have done is one-touch passing, confuse the midfield, and collapse on attacking zone.
Essentially the Aussies gave the Germans too much room to breathe, and didn't finish their defensive efforts.
Here's hoping New Zealand puts on a more spirited performance against Italy!!
