The Socceroos continued their preparations for the Asian Cup with a win in this morning's friendly against Saudi Arabia. It was actually the first win for the Socceroos in over ten months, a fact that should give the players some much needed confidence. However, the performance was poor overall and it raised more questions than answers. Australia's last few matches, including the World Cup, were promising showings that most agreed were a good base to build on with the ultimate goal being reaching the Asian Cup in top shape. When we struggle against nations such as Saudi Arabia though, it might be time to start worrying. Especially since Australia only has three more scheduled friendlies before the start of the Asian Cup and time is very limited. At the end of the day it's the result that counts in football and Australia did manage to win this match.
