UK and France already have bigger populations than Australia.

Yep I don’t understand this either that aleague clubs can’t coach within the SAP phase, they got pre academy stuff but it’s not competitive.

If it’s not like other countries around the world that excel in football don’t excel in other sports too. France for example are excellent in basketball and have maybe the best generational prospect to ever play in Victor Wembanyama but also excel in other sports too but it’s not as known...

The football hasn't been flashy or a great watch but fair play to Popa after a rocky start he's come in and done a great job in getting us to qualify for the World Cup. Tougher test lie ahead especially what we do with the ball which is still lacking but a tremendous achievement nevertheless to...

It would be cool to get more players playing in the top 5 leagues or the best leagues outside of it but unfortunately the reputation for our players is not there to get those kind of moves plus it’s very competitive to get a chance in any case. If it means playing in leagues like in Scotland...

It’s going to be an active window for Australian players moving to overseas clubs, it will be an interesting off season and into the new season in the aleague because of this. Opportunities might open up for potential visa signings and new young talent.

Good fight back but the USA played the better football and even scored a nice winning goal, hopefully they can improve the football they play with more games. They also lacked discipline as well with the red card so plenty to work to work on, entertaining game to watch though.

All of a sudden 2-2! Great fight back from the young guys.

I’m sure Trevor Morgan will mould them into a good team, he’s with the current u20s but the coaching stocks need to improve going forward.

USA’s ball movement has more slicker than ours, their chance creation looks a bit more better too. To be fair we have some chances mostly from crosses so it’s not like they are not creating anything but the US have been the better team.

They got some interesting players, I think Kubo’s chance he should have scored but overall the Japanese coach will see who he can trust the most on the world stage. I think most of them did well but the forwards fell short, I’m sure they will get more chances to impress but games like these the...

They didn’t need to play with the same urgency if it was a meaningful game, given they were trying different players I don’t they will be losing sleep over this. However if they lack a killer instinct at the World Cup it might prove costly.

We need all the best players available if we want to make this team stronger, the fact that a Japanese B side pinned us back for majority of the game tells me that we got some ways to go if we want to make an impact at the World Cup because the quality will go up a notch after this. Popa needs...

Good on him, all the talk about duel nationals just give them the opportunity and will prove their a worthy players. Popa needs to be less stubborn, we got plenty of talent.

Circati, bloody well done look how it means to him!

I couldn't care less, it shows we lack aspiration to improve ourselves as a football nation.

don't be naive

The FA dont care, they care about the world cp prize money rather than the development of the game especially the direction of the national teams.

So we parked the bus against their B team and snatched a goal towards and its all worth? What a team guys... Real talk do we aspire to play football like we forever have a ceiling on how we can play on a international level, overall that was a tough watch unless your naive and only see the...

Had no idea it was on, disappointing the FA didn’t even mention they were playing last night.
