Graham Arnold was full of pride in his team’s victory - but was quickly back on the job.

While Australia happily lost its head after the Socceroos had squeaked to landmark victory over Tunisia, Graham Arnold gave his team only a small window to indulge themselves and asked an even smaller one for himself.“What I said to the boys when I got them in the circle after the game was, I’m very proud, but we’ve achieved nothing,” Arnold said. “We’re here to go as far as we can go.

Arnold’s natural state looks to be permanently embattled, but when asked about a phalanx of critics at home, he replied: “Give me five minutes to enjoy this!“ It’s all about the vibe. Enter injured Socceroo Martin Boyle. “We’ve moved onto the staff now, as OVM - official vibe manager,” Arnold said. “He’s one of the most fantastic blokes you’ll ever meet in your life. There was no way he wanted to go home, no way i wanted to send him home. He wants to stay, and be part of it, and he deserves it more than anyone for what he did during qualifying.“Pre-match, Arnold was conscious of a nation watching over his shoulder.
