I hope our mid selections don't end up like that. Don't get me wrong I like all those players, but far to similar for mine. Irvine, O'Neill, Balard, Robertson, Devlin, Melcalfe all fighting for 2 spots

any streams for italy bosnia?

Your participation award analogy also works for Albania playing in anything.

Well look at this way, Volpato didn't progress through the Aus system, was cut from multiple youth Aleague sides and hasn't played for the national team at any level. If anything his football career is in spite of Aus Football. He left for Italy young, was nurtured at Roma, brought through their...

It sucks but Volpato's stance does have some logic and merit. Segecic and Triantis on the other hand have none, them playing for Croatia and Greece makes a mockery of international football.

I know FIFA doesnt really give a shit, but at what point do we start questioning the integrity of international football with these eligibility rules. Segecic is a perfect example. Born in Aus, raised in Aus, football development in Aus, youth international at every level for Aus, called into...

Good new yes, disagree with the rest. If he was available for this squad I wouldve called him up and started him (depending how he trained/integrated). He's a fantastic player, and we lack midfield ball winners with very good distribution skills.

Honestly thought we 'd get to see T.Yengi. Doing well in Japan, Duke was constantly picked for less.

Great podcast guys well done. SM Pete has to be Mono right?

I read the rules that any appearance at any level for any game type results in cap tied once the 'one time switch' mechanic has been used. Obviously i could be wrong, but the wording emphasizes that.

He makes millions kicking a ball on the other side of the world, and flys around the world on someone elses dime. Save me the 'poor guy' bullshit. Want to stay here in Aus with your son? Then break contract, move back here and dont worry about football. Bet that wont happen.

Might be wrong, but isnt the rule that since theyve used the 'one time switch' mechanic playing in any match at any level will be enough. A senior friendly, or underage friendly is enough to cap tie?

Poor guy, did he cry into his millions?

Yep, our AA thread was in awe of MOM after MOM at club level. Very strange. A serious question, do FA have any chance to persuade Sega to change back? Or is that just too much effort, case closed move on?

Not giving Triantis a run in that China qualify was about as dumb as fuck as it gets.

Mate, offer Mono a greek club winning the champions league or Greece lifting the WC we all know which one he's taking. He's either trolling or a hypocrite, likely both.

Bos is aussie, theres your answer.

Happy to take any win tbh.

I may be wrong, but wouldnt Volpato and Arena both have the lodge change of allegiance documents with FIFA just to feature at all since both play official underage matches for Italy?

Waste of FA's money flying coaching staff to Italy imho. The margins at the top are very fine. I'd rather a motivated proud Aussie playing championship wearing the green and gold, than a born/raised Sydneysider who thinks they're Italian sell sword bench player from SerieA.
