it’s either too much praise or excessive doom and gloom when it comes to the national team isn’t it?
Socceroos' World Cup afterglow faded
Unfortunately Realfootball I agree on every point as well. And I too did not even watch the Qatar game. What was the point of playing in the middle east anyway? Socceroos should have been playing those games at home. There should have been an international break and the A League delayed by a week.

dude I am with you. It’s much more interesting fantasizing about AFL players playing football instead of watching them play an AFL game.
Also WTF?
An AFL Socceroos 11: fantasy of a dreamer
Robbie Slater and Francis had an on air fight on a Sydney radio show hosted by the late Paul Williams a few years ago.
Robbie Slater has beefs with a lot of Socceroos. Craig Foster is probably his biggest Beef with Harry Kewell second and Frannie probably his number 3 beef.
Let Australian football pundits have their say
it was all quack quack to me.
also well done to SBS for screening it 2-3 weeks after the event.
and screening Hungarian news instead of the Olyroos Yemen game.
I also like the question Les Murray asked the Adelaide chairman. Do you think the A-League should be on free to air? Answer Yes we need to be on free to air!!!. Would you consider receiving less money if the A-League appeared on free to air TV. Answer um I ……….um
Also no-one asked Les Murray if he has part of the Hungarian Nexus? Or what does Nexus mean?
Always remember that opinion promotes self interest.
A-League issues lost in panelspeak
Love your work Doug.
Over 170 Aussie footballers Abroad.

What do you expect from a city that was formed by bankers.
We live in Conservative times.
F#@K You Melbourne!
F me: how going to the football could cost an extra $240
Nice one Tony.
Check out a list of all the Aussies Abroad (169 players) compiled by Damian Davies @ Half Time Heroes.

ahhh shucks
some one has to keep the corporate rivalry going
Football really gathering pace in Melbourne
‘Westpac community football festival
So more Westpac employees in Heart jumpers then?
You can just smell the football kulcha!
Football really gathering pace in Melbourne
Call them Ethnics, Australian, Migrants, Wogs, Skips, Anglo’s whatever background they are, no matter how much money they have whether they are football or non-football people none of these groups know how to run football in Australia. The fans and the players are the only ones that know how to do their jobs. The media well the less said the better.
The jig is up
Football's Groundhog Day comes again
get your logic and rational and get the hell out of here!
agree 100%. the Fury should never have happened if Australia got the World Cup the Fury would have stayed they didn’t and off they went.
So many people love the Fury now! Ghoulish band wagon jumpers loving the Fury all of a sudden after their death.
I guess Frank Lowy and the FFA were sick of paying for second rate footballers like Beau Bush. Besides David Williams and a couple of others who would you sign?
Buckley right to axe Fury
again brilliant analysis Tony.
I reckon Adelaide could give Brisbane a real go if they reach the GF,
A-League: How Brisbane Roar and Gold Coast United won their finals
Cheers for the comments. yes I am bitter(thank Sydney FC for that) yes I have lost the plot (many reasons) I have been anti -NSL for years singing the A-league’s praises but it’s been embarrassing this season.
remember when footage of Greek and Croat’s fighting on the pitch? At least that used to get on mainstream TV. Now the only way the A-League gets any mainstream publicity is when Ljubo goes off on one.
Also I’m not advocating violence please take my ramblings with a grain of salt. The A-League is the best thing ever everything is fine………. all OK now?
Flies all over A-League
Watching Slater choke on his own words is just as good as watching Daddy Kewell bang them in. And every goal Kewell scores must be killing Slater inside just that little bit more.
Kewell's revival highlights flawed media culture
I agree 100%
“The simple reality is that I simply didn’t view this as a violent or malicious tackle, merely a case of a quick young winger exposing an old, slow defender who completely botched his attempt of a tackle, the resulting collision ending in carnage.”
This explanation should be given to the FFA’s match review panel. Once they read this they will surely have to let Muscat off. I mean he didn’t break anyone’s leg and it’s like you say it was just that the winger was really really fast and Muscat was really really really slow. Get it!
Muscat's tackle blown out of proportion
The first thing I would do is look for who to blame. We will definitely need a scapegoat.
The AFL boss Andrew Demetriou and the Fairfax team of investigative journalist that he has on the payroll.
Eamonn Duff had another crack on Sunday. A funding brawl indeed………….

Then we have the FFA
Then we have ourselves.
And of course lastly but the most obvious will be FIFA.
So, what if we don't win the World Cup this week?
Mos Def it was a victory in morals and bravery. The Moral World Cup. Australia has more of those in their trophy cabinet than any other country
