The FFA did it before to Holger. Chinese Super League ends first week of November and there could be a couple of coaches that interest the FFA free by then. 3 month prep for the AC and then a contract for the next WC cycle.

Primarily rugby website with user submitted articles created in 2026. I’m going to guess this website is from the remnants of theroar.

Vague memories of attending that friendly, if it is the one I am thinking of. Homebush, Scott Mac should’ve scored and I think Kisnorbo made the error that led to the goal, or possibly the keeper (Jones?). Long time ago …

Aussie front three plus Rawlings. Might need to follow them this season.

Couple of people on this thread gonna run out and buy those jeans 😆

I really liked the look of the Colombian away kit and thought that if we replaced the dark blue with dark green, then the black shirts, Fluor socks and trim, it would make a great 2nd kit for us.

I think the MLS is about to blow up after the WC. There will be much greater local interest, investment, higher salaries and improvement in imported players. Any Aussies regularly starting will be doing well. It will be a better league than Scotland, Denmark etc. Now is a good time for young...

Does anyone with a better knowledge of West Asian football know why Herve Renard was sacked by Saudi before the WC? He was my preferred in place of Poppa after Arnie.

One of the reasons I’d like to see us go to a back four is that it enables Circati to move to RB. He’s never going to be a RWB, but he’s played RB before for Parma and the Roos. If it’s a matter of getting your best 11 on the park, then a back line could look like this Bos - Herrington -...

I hope he gets his career back on track and I hope no more Aussies ever go to Portsmouth FC.

Think Spain might have this.

I’m with you. Would’ve preferred to see Younis have his minutes and hope he never plays for us again.

We played a system that isolated the striker and required them to physically take up space, bounce the ball back to the midfield or wider players and occupy the centre backs. I’m certain Toure was struggling with the injury from the last games for Norwich and we all know now that Irankunda isn’t...

One season in the A-league followed by a move to the Bundesliga has not been a successful path for quite a number of Aussies, however none of them had successfully performed in 3 WC matches. Maybe (hopefully) Okon is the one to break the cycle.

You have a football blog! I’ll check it out
