What is our FIFA ranking?

Matildas
Have the crowds dropped or are they still going roughly as strong?
Ok but not the same levels as before
Do we improve with respect to asia, fall behind or stay roughly the same level?
Stay the same but fall behind at youth level
How far do we go at the World cup? Quarter-finals
How far do we go at the Olympics? Semi finals
Who is our best xi?
Lincoln Carpenter-Hunt-Heatley-Torpey Cooney Cross-Wheeler-Fowler Raso-Kerr-Foord (but I hope for some new names)
What is our world ranking?
10
Youth teams
Did we qualify for the 2028 Olympics?
No (only because the current format makes it harder to qualify given only 2 teams can qualify now not because we lack of the quality of Youngers tbh)
How many of the 2 u20 world cups did we qualify for in this period?
1
How far did our u20 teams go in the world cup if we made it?
Round of 16
How many of the four u17 world cups did we qualify for?
2
How far did we go in these world cups?
Round of 16
A league
Have crowds recovered, plateaud or declined compared to today?
Recovered but not much
How big is the next tv deal?
Not sure hopefully an improvement though
Does the A league expand? How many teams? Which areas?
4 teams (Canberra, 2nd team in Brisbane, 3rd Victorian team, North or Central QLD team I think QLD can hold up to 3 teams tbh) also get to 16 teams split into 8 teams for a pro-rel conference style system 
)
Do any grassroots clubs get promoted?
No
Do Western United come out of hibernation? If so do they finish their stadium?
They could be the 3rd Victorian again but I can see South Melbourne or Preston Lions in the a-league instead
How much is transfer revenue per club in 2030?
1 million but not sure about this part lol
What is our best result in the ACL Elite?
Round of 16
Do we win the ACL 2?
Yes
Does the Salary cap survive? What about the salary floor?
No I think it be replaced by financial fair play model so the domestic transfer system can be introduced as the FA/APL want the clubs to get bigger transfer fees from overseas plus more money goes down the pathway into the grassroots
What major changes do you see happening in the A league (open ended question)
I kind of answering it in the a-league expand question but I can see the possibility of the league going to 16 teams, then they will split the league into 8 teams for pro-rel conference style of system instead of a NRL/AFL system league system where we mirror overseas leagues
Will the women's a league go full time pro?
Yes (And it has to as well)
NST
Is there a home and away NST? Yes
Does the championship continue beyond the current 5 year commitment? Yes
Which team comes from no where to become a regular qualifier for the championship?
No particular names but I can see some clubs from NPL 2 or even 3 clubs make their way over time to push the big names into those places
Does Berwick United make the championship or NST?
Yes (because it will be a great story)
Will it get sponsorship and a TV deal?
Yes
Will the FA commit to a roadmap for promotion/relegation (even hybrid or ad hoc forms that include off field criteria or make relegation for apl clubs difficult like the a1/a2 model).
Yes the APL model might be the way forward for future expansion to include the NST/Championships clubs
What do crowds look like in the championship and NST (assuming both happen)
Similar to the a-league for most games but slightly lower average
Who is the most successful club in this era?
APIA because they got a great junior set up to make it happen
OFC Pro League
Will the OFC pro league allow South Melbourne to qualify for the club world cup?
No because they are not part of the OFC
Will there be more Australian teams in the OFC Pro league?
Maybe
Forum
How many posts per day will there be (current around 120-150) 120
How many members will we have (current around 450) 400
How many regular posters will we have (currently around 55). 50
Any other wild predictions? Australia will continue to fight for duel national players, I think we will see more young players through given the opportunities that exist here and overseas....And after FIFA had to step in we finally get a home of football i.e centre of excellence where it replicates the AIS for both male and female players
for tFl 
” which could just mean seeing family but could also mean leaving this season). Even Courtney Newbon (Melbourne Victory’s Tasmanian keeper and the reigning Golden Glove winner, who has no Matildas caps at any level) will be 30 in 2030. The most obvious choice for goalie by then would be Ilona Melegh, but we need three for a squad. If Heather stays and is naturalised here then she would be our starting one.
