This caused confusing for me originally.I thought as you my son wasn't eligible to play for Australian Youth because we had no parent,grandparent born in Australia but the section I'll paste below explains it clearly why my son and maybe Jakolis can.But I'm not sure if his father was naturalised...

Noah Clément: Goalkeeper Darmstadt 98 U19. Played 90mins against FC Winterthur U19 (Switzerland) 0-2 Win. It was played behind closed doors. Noah said he did two good saves and played well from out the back.

Just a quick update about Noah since leaving Eintracht Frankfurt. His transfer to Darmstadt U19 has so far gone well with positive feedback from the training staff. He was just informed that he'll be the starting goalkeeper in this 26/27 season of the U19 Nachwuchsliga for Darmstadt 98 in group...

(Wave)Hey it's been a while. Anyway I have an update on Noah's Australian citizenship. Article 5 of FIFA's Eligibility Regulations states that any player who holds a permanent nationality that is not dependant on residence is eligible to play for that country's representative teams. Because...

5-2 loss would never have been a reality in 2002.Either Australia is going backwards in youth football or China is starting to do something right.

The CFA brought 23 U16 players over to Germany between Feb and March /April under a co operation with Bundesliga International and CFA. They trained transitional play and trained with several academies including Dortmund. Noah's U16 team had a friendly against them and Eintracht won 2-1. To be...

Irankunda loaned out to Grasshopper Club Zurich. They are coming 2nd last in the Swiss league currently.

No matter how many times this scenario plays out each week across the world the managers are convinced it wont happen to their team.Go figure.

I agree.I hate it too when you see a short pass to the centreback or number 6 and you see the other team swarming that player winning back the ball and chipping the goalkeeper.FFS is normally what comes out of my mouth.

My son's team play this way. I watch them train over and over it's almost like watching a dance choreography.They'll practice each play identical many times over each week with many other variable plays also practiced many times.Starting from the back and working themselves to the other end of...

Heavy pressing is when you see the talented players that make playing from the back look easy. Tottenham struggle when they are pressed heavily under Ange's system for example.Half the time the build up breaks down. When you hold the ball you control the play.That's the ultimate aim in that...

It will depend on how the technical director wants the football to be played at the club. A team playing the ball from the back wouldn't consider it being risky.They would see their style of play as being normal as they train that style of play over and over and over. A top centreback is...

Eintracht Frankfurt has a chance with a win or draw against Lyon tonight to become the only team with the longest streak without loss in the Europa League. They currently share the title of 18 games without a loss with Chelsea.

Just read an article that's a month old giving an FC Bayern campus update. The article spoke about the Bayern II vs Wacker Burhausen game and this is what was said about Irankunda. "Speaking of Irankunda, his case is a very interesting one. He has certainly not been bad for Bayern II, but for...
