Baze opined in the post match, Colombia were genuinely suprised by how good we were. They would have known squat about our players, and couldn't but help notice the rankings difference.

Took us lightly, and that 3rd minute goal would have made them think even more so, it was going to be an easy win. So human nature to then not always do the hard graft, if you expect to win comfortably.

I think some of the AWs midfield tracking back was also much better after that early goal, when the Colombians got between our lines. Garbett got back on at least one vitual occassion to prevent a shot.


Be interesting to see how the Socceroos go against Colombia.

The Socceroos now appear far less likely to sneak into Pot 2 of seeding for December 5's World Cup draw and are instead expected to land in Pot 3.
