Press Conference:Harry and Arnie

Mood was better at today's Press Conference even if the photography wasn't.

"Do you know you can still win the tournament," asked a journo.

"Yes." said Harry.

Everyone roared. It was the way he delivered it.

Arnie well he was given an easy ride today. I guess everyone knows it's all going pear shaped.

Who would have thought Australia would fear Thailand, yes that's right Thailand.

Some say will we win, others are sure we're gone.

Arnie inspired few.

I asked, "Given our defensive performances against Denmark, Singapore and the two games here, do you have confidence that the defence can remain goalless tomorrow night."

"Yes, we're working hard on defence, but it's not about the four guys at the back, it's about the whole team. Your defence starts with your forwards."

Hmmmmn I wasn't convinced, and Arnie is a good bloke but clearly he doesn't seem to be ready for the challenges of the second biggest football tournament that our national team can play in.

Still you can hope if the defence performs, and maybe Olyroos Captain Mark Milligan is about to grab his chance. He looked like he was going to play as he walked through the lobby today. Looks can be deceptive.

Either we win and the journey continues. Surely we can beat Thailand, surely.
