I think this is where the European teams thrive in development being able to take kids put them in the 2nd team who might play in the 2nd/3rd division against actual men. I don't think putting the kids into the NSL will have the same intensity.. maybe once pro/rel takes off for the 2nd division.

Our defense is rock solid for next 10 years at least, lots of experience as well as younger guys coming through pushing them.

Accidently looked up the score when I was watching replay and we were down 1-0. Haha two really good finishes. So good to see Metcalfe score. He has had a really good camp.

Come on Indonesia! Would love to see them finish above Saudi.

You make some very good points, my concern comes down to who advises these moves? as a midfielder in the a-league your biggest issue moving to a bigger league is adjusting to the speed of play, learning to play in tight areas, less time on the ball, more professional environment (pro/rel). As a...

Will probably be Greece, Will allow him to live there an trips to Europe to watch players is not such a big deal. Their current coach has great record though but he aint even Greek! One of the clubs that dropped down might be an option as they will be able to play Ange's style then bounce...

Typical spurs lol oh well he got massive payout and bonus from winning. Wonder if he will go again? But where?

The Saudi game would of been a really good game to test Bennie at RWB against decent opponent - we need options for next year. The kid is getting minutes in the rough and tumble of the CHP he should be fine at this level. I'm pissed he's not there.

From my view they looked incredibly narrow I think that was instruction from poppa which should of made it easier to win 2nd balls and play little 1 and 2s to get in behind but the japanese always had the numbers. They needed to be wider, but the defensive shape was clearly more important to Poppa.

there are ways to play out without the skills via set plays you see it from the lower teams in the EPL alot Ipswich were quite good at it Where Delap was the target man but the wingers ran particular lines to create space and the midfield pushed up to win the 2nd ball. There are options out...

They were superb at times, Kamada is a top top player The way he was able to drag O'Neill out the midfield by drifting out wide to then play a quick ball back to his CB who would fire a ball centrally through the lines. A better team might cut through us a bit easier. My big concern is we...

indonesia tifo is epic lol

back 3 of circati souttar burgess and ryan is top class in my opinion need to find a way of moving the ball up field

poppa walking around like he knew this would happen

LOL

we fucked now Kubo will kill us

0-0 mexican wave is just comical

fuck that was a great chance

Duke and pump it long get metcale/boyle wider otherwise we lose. Playing out with this press is going to kill us.
