Stylish but never affected Roos games enough when he played.

My impression of Segecic was great left foot, not a lot else in general play. Triantis made a serious mistake choosing Greece.

Personally, I would rate Portugal above Holland or Belgium.

RF, I sheet home much of that to the fact that the A League clubs have never taken the competition seriously. Which is disgraceful considering how short the season is here. Decent prize money would solve the problem very quickly.

I'm not "blaming" anyone or anything, MCG. I am simply expressing my view of where the A League finds itself now. I agree with you on the impact of a long series of poor decisions from FFA then FA. But that does not change my view of where we are. now. As the tv deals grow for other sports...

it is very clear now that the A League is low cost summer schedule filler for Paramount. Better than no other sport at all but low rating material. Accordingly, they invest what they believe the product will return. Unfortunately, the low value of the TV deal and no alternative bidders indicates...

Until a major media outlet has a direct financial stake in the A League, there will be no coverage. They back their investments. Those reside in AFL and NRL. Simple as that.

Agree. Bottom line is that the League is not succeeding in Asia, is not attracting TV audiences and live attendances are poor and declining. What more evidence does anyone need that the cap is a dead albatross.

I suggest it is a difficult sport for the uninitiated, presenting as it does superficially as a dog fight over an old sausage.

All I can say is that the AFL, a lonely tadpole in a vast global lake, will never have to worry about that.

After watching England's disaster this morning, it's clear to me that Tuchel was on the blower to Popa for tactical advice before the game.

Just quietly, this dispute has the potential to be the straw that breaks the A League camel's back. From my pov, the clubs have no stretch and the PFA have - very unwisely- put themselves in a corner. So, either the clubs confess that they are lying, or the PFA cave. No winners here.

The question is whether the clubs are being straight when they say they can't afford what the PFA wants. Given the abysmal TV deal, I'm inclined to believe them. The PFA need to take care that they don't kill off the comp here.

ffs the recycle churn in the A League of so so players going nowhere in the A League is ridiculous

with respect, Kosta needs to retire. I don't know wtf Victory are doing here. Kosta is done
