Coach Ange Postecoglou insists World Cup qualification remains in the Socceroos hands despite a decidedly poor display against minnows Thailand that leaves Australia on a rocky road to Russia 2018.Tuesday nights 2-2 come-from-behind draw was a missed opportunity for Postecoglous national side to top Group B, instead slipping to third after allowing themselves to be outdone by a Thailand who were yet to claim a point in Group B.Two penalty goals from captain Mile Jedinak were the only thing to save the Socceroos from a humiliating defeat at a hot and sweaty Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, where Australias usual impetus was replaced by disconnect and profligacy.It is the Socceroos third consecutive draw after also being held by pacesetters Saudi Arabia and Japan last month.Now out of the automatic qualification zone, the pressure will be on to play-catch-up in next years vital fixtures.Still, a somehow buoyant Postecoglou was loath to call the showing anything other than a hiccup.I still think were in good shape, Postecoglou said.Weve got three home games next year and our performances, apart from maybe today, have still been strong.Were halfway, we havent lost yet.We had a disappointing result tonight but qualification is still in our hands.Though Jedinak slotted his first from the spot inside 10 minutes, the Socceroos rare 10-day training camp counted for little against an enthusiastic Thai team backed by an even more zealous home crowd.Opportunities galore gave early indications the scoreline could easily have blown out but the hosts capitalised on the little possession they had and, out of nothing, drew level with worrying ease.They stroked the ball around before charging through the middle, exposing the otherwise well-performing Brad Smith with a through-ball that allowed Teerasil Dangda to slot home off a neat cross.That changed the complexion of the game.Thailand started penetrating Australias defence with regularity, playmaker Chanathip Messi J Songkrasin forcing Mat Ryan into one of numerous fine saves.The Socceroos, meanwhile, failed to turn their possession into anything meaningful, their Jamie Maclaren-led line seemed to be on different wavelengths, simple passes were miscontrolled and offsides were plentiful.The manner in which Postecoglou stormed off at the break signalled a halftime lashing was coming, yet if it did it made little difference.It was all one-way traffic in favour of the winless hosts, and one foray forced early goal contender Mathew Leckie into an unnecessary challenge on Thai captain Theeraton Bunmathan.Almost as soon as Teerasil sent the subsequent penalty past Ryan for the lead, Postecoglou switched to a diamond formation, substituting Maclaren and Leckie for veteran Mark Milligan and forward Nathan Burns, who rifled a long-range bullet into the crossbar.The change brought an almost immediate effect as Siroch Chatthong fouled Jedinak and allowed him to restore parity with a penalty.But even after the in-form Jackson Irvine was brought on for Matthew Spiranovic, who left the field with a suspected quad strain, the Socceroos could not muster a winner.We just didnt control the game like we wanted to and ended up playing a game that suited them more than us, Postecoglou said.It was hard for us then to gain momentum, particularly on a night when they were up for it.We got careless in possession, particularly in the front third.

Umberger scored twice to lead the Blue Jackets to a franchise-record for consecutive wins with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Kings.The Winnipeg Goldeyes found out that even a six-run lead is not safe when playing the Gary SouthShore RailCats. Danny Pulfer helped Gary battled back from a 7-1 deficit to defeat the Winnipeg Goldeyes 9-8 on Tuesday night. The loss drops the Goldeyes below .500 for the first time all season. Pulfer homered in the eighth to pull Gary within one and then he drove in the winner in the ninth inning. The win completes a four-game series sweep for the RailCats over the Goldeyes. In his second game back with the Goldeyes, Tyler Graham used his speed to help generate the games opening run. He led off with a hustle double, stole third base, and then scored on a Mike Coles infield single. That would be the start of a big inning for the Goldeyes, who would make it 2-0 on a Josh Mazzola sacrifice fly. Ryan Scoma followed and battled a full count before blasting a Will Krout offering over the wall in center. The two-run home run was Scomas first of the season and Winnipeg took a four run lead into the second. With the score now 4-1 in the fifth, the RailCats committed a pair of fielding errors on the first two batters of the inning and Mazzola would make them pay instantly. He hit a towering shot over the leftfield wall and the three-run home run made it 7-1. A two run double off the bat of Brian Kolb cut the lead to 7-3 in the sixth and the potential Gary comeback got its first big push. In the same inning, with the Goldeyes holding an 8-4 lead in the sixth, Winnipeg had runners on second and third with less than two outs but could not find a way to cash them in.ddddddddddddThat would prove to be a big missed opportunity. A three-run game in the eighth, Goldeyes reliever Brendan Lafferty walked the first batter of the inning. Pulfer followed that with a home run over the wall in left to make it a one run game. Mike Massaro – on his fifth hit of the game - tied it with a base hit up the middle, scoring Chase Tucker who was hit by a pitch earlier. Closer Patrick Keating was brought in and got the final two outs of the inning, but all of a sudden it was a brand new ballgame. With one out in the ninth, Brian Kolb slashed a triple down the right field line, joining Massaro in Garys five hit party. The next batter, Pulfer, hit a sacrifice fly to deep center to give the RailCats their first lead of the night, one that would hold as the final. Taylor Sewitt worked a scoreless eighth to improve to 3-0 in relief. Marco Gonzalez came on in the ninth for his third save, stranding the potential tying run at first base. Patrick Keating took the loss to fall to 4-1. Hardy took the no decision after going 5 2/3 innings in his 11th start of the season. He struck out five while allowing four runs on eight hits. Following a travel day on Wednesday, the Goldeyes begin a ten game road trip through the CanAm League. The stretch begins on Thursday at 6 p.m. CT when Winnipeg visits the Quebec Capitales.
