Lucky I booked the Friday off.
Saturday off tooThe game is on Saturday (Australia time)
I just saw the pen that UAE received in extra time to win. This is what we're, unsurprisingly, going to be up against.
1:45 in, gets touched on the shoulder and literally flops to the ground. I might save my anger and not even bother watching.
Mabil, Sainsbury and Degenek are quite good.He plays in the bundesliga while everyone else plays at Denmark or championship level. Its truly a horrible team
Me too!random: I was at Homebush in 2005 and on the wing where Aloisi ran down after his penalty
UAE it is. Home nation, they’ll be fierce support. They love turning out against us.
Have to start Giannou. Better with him there instead of Maclaren. Not really any other changes. Leckie won’t start, he’s still coming off the bench
Mabil, Sainsbury and Degenek are quite good.
Sainsbury has hardly played for a club in 2 years and Degenek is leaving for ******* Saudi Arabia. Both of them ****** their progression mid career
Worthy of a yellow card for diving1:45 in, gets touched on the shoulder and literally flops to the ground. I might save my anger and not even bother watching.
Would rather those playing in the lower european leagues come back to the A-League. Improve the quality here, and then get guaranteed game time. Only go overseas if you are in a big league like Leckie, Mooy and Ryan. Rogic could get a big move but has declined which sucks
I just think how good would the A-League be if basically the whole socceroos squad came back plus a few others like Juric. Would increase the level you have to be to go overseas anyway because the level here would be much better. Like I said, only Arzani, Mooy, Ryan and Leckie have a legitimate case to stay overseas. And Asia I think is a massive no-no. Shouldn't be considered for national selectionThis is how it should be for Australian Footballers:
15-18 - either A League academy or top quality overseas academy.
18-21 - Best young footballers establish themselves in the A League and start to dominate regularly.
21-24 - Join a club in Holland/Belgium/English Championship/Celtic/Rangers - the best leagues for young developing players. A select few who are absolute guns could go straight to Bundesliga / Serie A / EPL but this will be rare.
24-30 - At this age if they aren't developing and attracting interest from bigger clubs best for them to return home to the A League. The very best players of this age group will end up in the Bundesliga / Championship plus a few in the EPL.
30+ The guys who want big pay cheques should go chase them in Saudi Arabia / China etc but still try and get them back in the A League with big deals. Gun players will keep playing in top leagues until they are 33-34. After which we need them returning to the A League.
Basically if Aussie footballer are playing overseas they should only be playing at European clubs when they are young and developing and if they aren't making it in Europe get them back to the A League. We should have zero Aussies playing in the Middle East / China at the peak of their careers. I don't see the point in our players hanging around the smaller European leagues like Denmark / Serbia / Norway etc unless they have career progression prospects at better clubs.
I'd rather our players play in Korea and Japan than the A League.I just think how good would the A-League be if basically the whole socceroos squad came back plus a few others like Juric.

Financially it just doesn't work though. I suspect we will be back to 10 teams soon enough anywayTotally agree. With 2 more clubs joining the league we really need these sorts of players back in the A League.
