So you are complaining about his frank speaking?

Geria and Arzani had already played for the Socceroos years ago. Popa has shown very little in this space and the talk has been more about who he hasn't included. It is way too early to judge at the moment but it is not an area that I would be highlighting just yet. Let's see how the squad...

Yes - another CCM Academy product. He has been around for ages and had very poor output for someone so talented, especially at CCM and City. He has come into his own at SFC though.

Ben Cahn was the guy who originally encouraged him. Souttar and Irvine both advised if that they played at Ross County and that it was good place to prove his physicality. From what I heard Nizz had one other offer (I forget where but also a place that I feel is less than what he will end up...

This is the often repeated fallacy. He was already being watched by Ron Smith in Canberra on behalf of Lawrie McKinna at the Mariners and was likely to start with the Mariners when he did, with or without the Nike competition.

Forget the Olympics then. We have a Federal election coming up and a Womens Asian cup in a year's time including in Qld. Surely an upgrade to Perry Park for a training venue for some of the teams could be on the cards. The current Federal Minister for sport is also the Minster for Women, Perry...

Having been brought to have manners by my parents, sadly both passed, it seems to me that my age has more manners than their generation now (70s and 80s and 90s) as well as the the younger generation.

Pim also got a lot of stick and apart from the game against Germany proved he was a high quality manager. I suspect that Arnie would have got similar results to Popa. As you said we dominated those games but the points didn't fall our way. Davidson's as a LB for the Socceroos in a back 4 was...

Needs to be 1969 and yellow

I would back this team that didn't make the squad or didn't play tonight (not picked or injury) to give Popa's team a good go. -----------------Gauci -----Triantis---Circati--Farrell-- Leckie---Nisbet---Balard---Goodwin ------Irankunda---Botic---Kuol

It will be both. Barlow to get an upgrade.

I wanted Triantis in front of him. but he has taken his opportunity well so far.

Not a total disaster - TBH Cairns at the time of the Olympics will be perfect weather in the dry season. We still need an upgrade to Perry Park which apparently still seems to be on the table - though not to a Tier 2 level. An upgrade to Barlow Park and the Sunshine Coast Stadium along with...

I don't know - the APL runs the Grand Final - but it was a pretty poor effort by the APL.

I think that is right. I also think that the new formation will suit Bos better than Arnies.

Happy for Victory to have her. You might think she is great - but the Grand Final was a home Grand Final for the Central Coast Mariners. Why was the APL catering for the away team and not the home team!!

She had no business playing there or playing at the Grand Final in Gosford. Reminded me of Yoshi being paraded.

Yep - I'm yet to be convinced - but I am certainly open to change my mind. I just hope we wrap up qualification soon and use the windows after to get a settled squad (preferably younger).

This is the one I don't understand. Schwarzer had a much better club career than Ryan but at a NT level their stats are very similar. Then you throw in the fact that Scwharzer had the GG in front of him and Ryan had a poor first World Cup since his manager wanted to out tika-taka tika-taka...

Maybe - but I wonder how many football supporters are used to using P+. That's certainly the way I watched it.
