Why are we allergic to promising players

Segecic yet to hear from Popovic, open to Croatia

Adrian Segecic has told ESPN that he's disappointed at being overlooked by Tony Popovic for his latest squad and would consider playing for Croatia if an opportunity with Australia doesn't come soon.

The fact that he hasn't heard AT ALL from Popovic is completely not good enough. Popa's man management would be 0 out of 20 on FM for fucks sake!!

You're not a first team coach Tony you idiot!! You are the manager of the national team and it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure our best young talent feel acknowledged and supported within the environment of Australian football.

If we lose Triantis and now Segecic and who knows who else to this piss weak 'you must die on the cross and bleed out to prove you are worthy of the jumper' bullshit...

I would like to know why did the FA really appointed Popa as coach? It seems like not much went into this given he’s history of not giving youth a go.

I would not think he’s not much of a chance for Croatia so it seems remote, but the fact he hasn’t gotten a phone call or recognition for he’s feats is disappointing.

Yeah its poor man management. 5 minute phone call, tell him what he meeds to work on, ask about his club plans, say you cant wait to get him in the fold and he is on a good trajectory

I’ve just posted but this is why you have a TD or director of football in club football, not all head coaches care about the long term picture and you need someone that he here for the longer term so we have the best talent available.

The worst part about it is that Popa would barely even have to lift a finger if he didn't want to!! Delegate to either Okon or Foxe or whoever else to make the contact and create some form of connection....it's 2025 Popa honestly your shit definitely stinks mate!

The golden generation are now not so golden and gone crispy. Time to evolve ya fossil!

Forget the head coach for one moment, this is why you have a TD to keep tabs on all prospects that are available.

That’s what Morocco have done so well they have done an excellent job in finding the best diaspora around, meanwhile we are letting the national team coach do what he wants, what a farcical situation.

Have you seen the edit where it goes it?

Watching all these scenes it's interesting to see the positions of other players. What I mean is we need to always have a shot as the deflections can land anywhere. We'll never have chances if we don't shoot. Constantly holding it or passing it back brings nothing.
