Graham Arnold insists the Socceroos' hopes of qualifying directly for the 2026 World Cup aren't dead yet but was once again left to lament a plethora of spurned chances in a costly 0-0 draw with Indonesia.
Five days after slipping to a horror upset 1-0 loss to Bahrain on the Gold Coast, Australia couldn't manufacture a winner against the world's No.133-ranked team at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta.
The Socceroos are goalless and have just one point from two games they were expected to win in the third round of qualifying, piling pressure on Arnold and his charges.
