[Beretta]

Beratta is trolling.

Part of the Anarchy narrative all Aus football is rubbish and Asia is rubbish. And that certain G and G posters need to be targeted.

Just apply the Ignore function to his posts, or skip past them.

That there has been an improvement in U23s, U20s relative to Asia, a fast improving continent in football, due to Aus players having had 10 years of coaching in the UEFA powerhouse methodology in underage development, has sadly been lost to some.

where am i trolling?

just stating the facts, Croatia won the Tournament.

 

[Quicky]

I'd like to see them too.

Paramount has the replay up.

European clubs didn't release their players apparently

Fifa needs to crack down on this

 

[Mr Cleansheets]

It'd be amazing to win both the U20 and U17 Asian Cups in the same year. It would be a powerful indicator that we are doing something right.

That's interesting. I wish they'd say so at squad selection but I guess they don't want to take away from the players who are there.

 

[Bbouy]

Really strong team to start the tournament with the likes of:

Amlani Tatu
Quinn MacNicol
Haine Eames
Akol Akon

 

[JS96]

 

[grazorblade]

we look less scrawny than I'm used to when it comes to seeing oz u17 teams

 

[grazorblade]

first real chance falls to us, nice work around the box but akon skuffs it

 

[grazorblade]

Australia with a high press but not a huge amount of squeezing

 

[grazorblade]

Nice, Tatu wins a pen

 

[grazorblade]

we hit the cross bar, getting worried it's one of those days

 

[Bbouy]

Ball definitely crossed the line
