Not going to be lured back into the argument we had on the podcast thread so I'll be leaving that one alone. My above post about Australia observing the worst aspects of American & British culture and observed it as ours stands. This barracking of political parties like it's a football team is...

The issue is in the last 20-30 years we've observed the worst aspects of American & British culture and adopted it as our own. Especially in the last 10 years or so.

It's definitely a mix of 1993 & 1997. Got a hybrid of the 1993 stripes and the black on the neck and the black on the trim & black numbers of 1997 look about it. Rather funny that Nike use old Adidas kits for inspiration.

The ones that CH is referring to are what is termed the champagne socialists. The ones who parrot and champion progressive causes but are usually the ones with millions in the bank and frequent cheese & wine tastings and art galleries and turn up at these sporting events to be seen "doing the...

Looking at it again I'm even more convinced it's a hybrid of the 1990's jerseys. I'm almost half expecting to see a young Harry Kewell & Craig Foster out there.

The stories I've heard about Weigman is she will stay with England until the Euros then assess what she wants to after that. So if we do get her she won't be coming until then so we'd have Sermanni stay in the interim role until then.

Albo has put in two cents worth now. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-27/marty-sheargold-triple-m-matildas-reaction-libby-trickett/104987950

Teagan Micah was unlucky there. That was freakish by the Colombians.

That was good football that.

Major thing we all missed in Marty Sheargold’s vile on-air Matildas rant https://www.news.com.au/sport/football/major-thing-we-all-missed-in-marty-sheargolds-vile-onair-matildas-rant/news-story/4c3b9b687bae7031bede70f42a57a7e2

It's a long way from the western Sydney suburb of Campbelltown to the southern Iraqi city of Basra. But it's a journey that Western Sydney Wanderer and Iraq international Mohamed Al-Taay will become well acquainted with in 2025...

In fairness the British justice system is even more of a binfire than ours is.

In fairness mate there was other stuff he said that contributed to him getting fired. The endometriosis stuff the next day among other things forced SCA's hand to show him the door.

Semi controversial take but if we're going to go local, I'd be looking at Sydney FC's Ante Juric. The bloke was the Matildas assistant so knows the team well and has a pretty good record at club level.

Seems like we're looking to lure Sarina Weigman away from her gig with England. https://www.news.com.au/sport/sermanni-says-next-coach-must-be-familiar-with-the-matildas-to-keep-asian-cup-hope-alive/news-story/c2f22421049cf5ce1f81dc86aa33c7b8

Further questionable on air comments about women from now dumped radio host Marty Sheargold have emerged including when he said endometriosis was “made up”. https://www.news.com.au/sport/football/made-up-shock-new-marty-rant-emerges/news-story/a8af246e7cd1555280c74ffd963991eb

In fairness he's been in trouble for this stuff before. Anti-Semitic and X-rated comments last year and now this. In short he had to go. https://7news.com.au/sport/soccer/channel-7-star-mel-mclaughlin-savages-marty-sheargolds-unhinged-matildas-comments-c-17859620

If we do get it hopefully Adelaide gets games since we missed out in 2015.

He'll probably end up on some podcast like former NRL Tree 60 host Paul Kent.
