Japan beats us us nearly every time in men's and women's football The curriculum needs to be skills focused, not strategy or pace/power

Allegiance currently with Malta. Is there time to change before the World Cup?

And how many times have the Smurfs been given favourable decisions is previous games? In every f***ing season. About time the lost one

The answer is yes. I have been a referee for about 8 or 9 years officially mostly at association levels (mens, womens, boys, girls) and as well as youth NPL level in Western Sydney.

Norway could break into Pot 2

Rowles is a centreback, not a wingback. Assume Behich and hopefully Gersbach will be the left wing backs. Miller came in late, so did not start. Italiano was a last minute replacement in any case

Central American referee likely to see far worse. He handled pretty well except Laryea should have got a yellow card about 10 minutes earlier. Plus he should have warned the same player when he pointed his finger at Italiano where he appeared to accuse him of diving early in the first half

And US U20 knocked out by Morrocco 3-1

Check the Connor Metcalfe interview posted today. Infantile talks off the Canada scarf he wore during the match sitting with the Canadian PM, and entered the Australian dressing room and congratulated the Australian players!

What about Turkey or however it is now named. They just won 6-1 in a qualification game.

Like proper development of skills at junior levels instead of pace and power. We can never compete with teams from South America and Europe until this deficit is addressed

Interesting take on Arzani. Popa must be expecting retirements post world cup so players like Segecic and Milanovic might miss out on the world cup but make the Asian Cup Squad. Looking at the future.

Grozos as a Sent off player should have not been allowed to participate in the ceremony. Bad precedent

Plus Irvine as well

For world cup preparation, Matthews out for Souttar. Matthews for next cycle McGree in, Hrustic out I would add Luongo in Yazback out
