  1. Real talk, with proper investment/development there’s no reason we can’t be talking about winning a World Cup, not just making it to one. Aussie DNA. Sports is what we do.

  2. Domestic football in Australia is rubbish in the last thirty years I went to a game once or twice because is disappointing seeing how poorly skills players show on the pitch…

  3. The Socceroos as a unit were a great team but let's not forget we don't have players in the EPL, La Liga, Serie A and other top European leagues like we used to be producing in the NSL. The player development in this country needs a lot of work.

  4. We have set ourselves in a great position right now. It's time to put money into Football in Australia and focus on player development and competing with the likes of AFL and NRL. It will be such a wasted opportunity if nothing is to be done right now. Australia is talking about football at the moment, so let's take advantage of this and fund more money and attention to the world game.

  5. Arnold achieved much under constant unfair fire. Move him on? Well non delusional Australians will see that only negatively. Football is our fourth code. But probably our first code when it comes to the Socceroos. If you want to build the code you don’t cut the head off of a man who has embodied our bottom line: continue to fight the odds, especially when many stab you in the back and in the front while you’re doing it.
