He’s thrown our attacking players under the bus for not having played enough games. Regardless of how honking they are, it’s got nothing to do with his tactical approach, that we don’t value the ball, don’t press high up the pitch, nothing to do with any of that. #socceroos
Exceptional reaction to the Socceroos’ World Cup exit via Mark Milligan on SBS.
Big-picture critique of Aussie football and what we want to stand for.
"When are we as a nation and federation, decide who we are? When we qualify, is that just always going to be enough?”
@FintechChad@maxrushden Toure has 10 goals in 12 games since joining Norwich. Played well in the first game and then didn’t get a single run with our best attackers?
@RocBSyd@VinceRugari 100 percent mate, so much attacking talent available at his disposal but for whatever reason he’s decided to take (and start) an average a league winger and a player whose best years are well past him.
@VinceRugari 90 minute player? Ultimately it comes down to the fact that Leckie and Vellupillay should have been nowhere near the squad let alone starting a game at the World Cup.
@VinceRugari Going into the World Cup we heard all the talk from Popa and the players that they were going to be the fittest team in the competition, but now suddenly the players can’t play 90 minutes? Nestory has played over 2000 minutes this season for Watford but he’s not a bankable
Unbelievable detail in this article: Brisbane Roar’s ownership sold their 20% sell-on clause for Herrington for $560,000 AUD (~€340,000) in recent weeks.
There’s now a 71% chance the NBA’s No. 1 pick falls to a 6th place-12th place team. Only a 29% chance it falls to a bottom 5 team, per @ShamsCharania.
Wow, wow, wow.
