Peru were not that good, Australia could have beaten them in the playoffs.

Part of Australia's success was in logistics of managing a playoff travel, both this time and in 2006 WC against Uruguay, as I commented elsewhere earlier on.

Honduras tanked in the second half yesterday, but Australia still could not get a goal in free play against them, winning through a free kick and two penalties. Honduras scored consolation goal through free play.

With all due respect, Australia would struggle against Peru if they meet in a group play in Russia. They are a decent team but have no class of the golden generation of ten years ago. Mooy is good, but he's not Viduka. Rogic is good, but he is not Kewell. Cahill of 2017 is still surprisingly good, but he is not the Cahill of 2006.
