Australia coach Postecoglou rues sluggish start against Chile

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Ange Postecoglou was proud of his beaten players and felt Australia could have taken something from the game after losing 3-1 to Chile in Friday's World Cup clash. The Socceroos made a rocky start and went 2-0 down within the first 15 minutes of their tournament opener in Cuiaba thanks to strikes from Alexis Sanchez and Jorge Valdivia. Australia pulled a goal back through talisman Tim Cahill and they had Jorge Sampaoli's men worried throughout much of the second half until a third goal from substitute Jean Beausejour made the result safe for Chile in the Group B clash at the Arena Pantanal. And Postecoglu was left to rue his side's sluggish start after watching them come close to a stunning comeback in the second 45. "If anything I thought if we got the second we'd go on with it," he told SBS. "[It's] disappointing for the players. After a rusty start, which is understandable, I thought we were well in the game.
