How God works
"Hiddink's genius is manifested in many ways. At 59, his record speaks for itself. At club level, he is the most successful Dutch coach in history. At international level, he has taken the Netherlands and South Korea to the semi-finals of the past two World Cups. Now he has achieved what many thought was Mission Impossible. In three short months, he has completed an overhaul of the Socceroos - not in personnel, but in strategy and mentality."

and did you notice him during the match the other night? No histrionics at refs decisions, no frantic player signalling, and at the end, the outward appearance of a cool and modest victor.
If anyone can take us there it's GUUS!

How ridiculous - look at how many people add an extra U to Gus' name.
Let's face it, Mick Malthouse is the one true Coach

Insufficient attention is being paid to John Safran's part in this victory...

I figured Wang Liqin would be your role model cw. He's the current master ping-pong (oops! table tennis) player isn't he?
