Brosque did some reasonable work but he's no attacker, loses the ball too much.

Worst performance I can remember in a Socceroo shirt was from Topor-Stanley a few years back.

Its wasn't socceroos and it may have been mentioned already. Archie during the 2008 Olympics. The bloke was running round like a headless chook. How he got a gig there over Bruce and Burns I'll never know. Every single time the ball went his way it was a turn over. In the end he resorted to taking all the throw ins just to get his successful pass numbers up, I don't think I've ever seen a centre forward wanting to take throw ins before or since. Pathetic is a compliment to that performance.
If he goes to Brazil in 2014 I'm going for another country!

Van Blerk had some good games for Australia.. particularly against Argentina in 1993.

Don't think Cansdell Sherriff ever won a senior cap....

The worst player to play for my club isn't even the worst to play for your country.

Looks like your country is a bigger joke than my club.

If England don't make the QF's we consider it a failure, if you make one it would be your best performance ever.

Haha yes! Plus even if we forget that game as yes we all can put it down as a friendly. England has the best domestic league in the world head and shoulder above the rest. Yet if you assembled the national side in one club they would probably be relegated! How can a country with such a fantastic league be happy they just made it out of the group stage of the euro? I would love to see how good the league would be though if you took away for international superstars and billionaire owners.

They did, but a game lasts 45 minutes not 90. Is that fact ok?

Where is the relevance?

A club in the championships worst player wasn't even mentioned in your national teams worst. Does that mean australia is League One standard?
