He will come in and say he doesn’t care. That is his standard MO when something goes against his standard rhetoric.

And NK made the quarter finals in their group, including beating Italy in a group game and being 3-0 up against Portugal in the quarter final before losing 5-3.

No, even with a 9-5 win, or even 19-15, Australia will go through, as if GD is equal the next tiebreaker is goals scored. Any 4 goal victory margin by Saudi will still have Australia having higher goals scored.

No need to back either, let’s just sit back and enjoy the show.

A small part of me would like to see this, especially against the Saudis. Ultimate shithousery!

Mmmm, will take more than that, a lot more, for me to change my opinion of him.

I thought he was talking about himself.

He has played 4 "A" internationals, made up of 1 friendly and 3 competitive games, all before he turned 21. Friendlies don't enter into any calculations. Everything I have read says that you can play up to 3 competitive A internationals (excluding tournaments like the World Cup finals, European...

OK, good to hear this from an eyewitness. Having said that, he hasn't covered himself in glory as a coach anywhere, and he does seem to struggle getting coaching roles.

I suspect he is struggling to get a head coaching position, so is open to any options. And the article does not quote Fowler as wanting to start a new career in Australia, it quotes him as saying that he would go to Australia if the right opportunity was presented but is open to going anywhere...

1 cap in a tournament does lock him him, but a tournament is the finals (WC finals, Asian Cup finals), not the qualifiers. In theory, I believe Circati could still change countries because his 3 competitive matches were before he turned 21. He needs a another match now to lock him in, since he...

I thought it was under 21.

So if (when, hopefully) Circati plays against Japan, it will be his fourth competitive international and his first since turning 21, so he will then be tied to Australia. Is that correct?

Wow, that's a shock :rolleyes:

I’m not sure how you see things like this as revenue sources.

And I suspect you are among your own kind very often.

Phil Rothfield is an A grade clown and full time football hater. He continually praised Gallop when he was CEO of FFA, that tells you everything.

Is this FA firing back? I thought it was a supporters association.

It will be very interesting to see if EVE keeps getting selected under Montemurro.

Continually picking Duke is disgraceful. 34 years old, hasn't scored in his last 13 national team appearances (9 as starts). Has started 4 times this current J League season, plus 8 appearances as sub (across 19 games starting in Feb), scoring 1 goal. Of the 4 starting appearances, three times...
