Should also include Kenny Dougall (Thailand) and Giancarlo Gallifuoco (Malaysia).
Also, I know they weren’t born here so they don’t fit the criteria, but we have a couple players raised here playing for African national teams (e.g South Sudan). Charles M'Mbombwa is an interesting case as he was...
How many would you take for the Socceroos? Personally I think only the first four are pissing me off.
Also, Anthony Pavlešić was born here but plays for Croatia’s under-21 team (with Adrian Segečić). Interestingly Pav actually has a middle name (Jacob), whereas Croatian names (like other Slavic...
Which is sad cause more people can name Matildas players than even men’s AFL/NRL players. Plenty of NRL fans wouldn’t know who the AFL’s poster boy Nick Daicos is (similarly plenty of AFL fans wouldn’t know who the NRL’s poster boys Nathan Cleary and Reece Walsh are), but we all know who Sam...
Parma’s game should be a good game. They aren’t quite safe yet (nine points clear with six games to go) but they won’t go down. They officially can’t make Europe though (though again they weren’t ever making it that far). I hope Ale Circati gets a move to one of the clubs playing in Europe next...
Only positive (and a big positive) is the women’s team actually get funding now and we’re doing so much better. During Daniel Levy’s time it wouldn’t have costed too much to build a women’s team that could challenge for Champions Leagues and be the best team in the world but of course he chose...
What I find too is one of the few rotated inclusions (who were essentially used as tokens to think we’d shut up) was Izzy Gómez. She’s a good player and 100% deserved her spot and more playing time but pundit Teo Pellizzeri ironically called for her to be capped days before the squad was...
A lot of those MAGA idiots wanna be more extreme unfortunately. A lot of that movement is the “America First” Groypers (led by Nick Fuentes, a professional antisemite and incel).
