Re: Socceroos - Road to 2019 AFC Asian Cup

Jordan weren't better but played MUCH smarter. Its a tournament though, so still time to rectify. No Leckie, Mooy, Nabbout and Boyle and team looks very thin in attack, so whilst I think we will still make it out of group stage, won't expect much further. As for Kruse and Rogic......sorry, but you'...

I reckon there's a guy called Ange having a bit of a laugh declaring "well, you got what you wished for"... Where was the tactical flexibility? Weren't we supposed to play like Liverpool? Haven't we been knocking in goals for fun during friendliest? If Ange was in charge you would have we...

Re: FFA Board of Directors

Do you want a return to the good old days how football was run? The game was supposed to be reformed. It wasn't, it was just passed onto someone else to exploit on a larger scale. We're still waiting for reform and implementation of the key recommendations of the original Crawford Report which saw ...

Will he actually play Meredith. Quality player who seems to be constantly unused. I think he’s a chance in defence. It was awful how Postecoglou discarded him through a staffer who told him “they’re going with a younger brigade” (even though James was then only 27). Aussie Bert obviously rates him ...
