i think this is revisionism. Before the all whites played Australia they'd been in poor form in Asian qualifying and only squeezed past Peru on penalties to make the world cup. Graham Arnold was not a popular man. Their world cup campaign caused a huge perception shift. I don't think many people were expecting us to be smashed, I remember a lot of people being extremely disappointed at how poor we were at home in that 2-0 loss against their second string side.

We are gonna get tonked by Australia lmao.
People said that last time out, pre World Cup.
The only difference being (1st match more so) was that we couldn't finish a sandwich, let alone a chance in front of goal.
Will be a lot closer than you think.
Yet a few days prior there were a lot of people who were disappointed we didn't get something out of the game against their first team...
We're not the million miles away that people think we are, and if anything, we've got far more quality this time around to give it a decent shake.
