      If there's any national team that represents multiculturalism, it's the Socceroos. Virtually all the greatest Socceroos were first generation Australians (Schwarzer, Kewell, Cahill, Viduka, Bosnich the list goes on).

      Australian journalists, calm down with the heritage questions. Once or twice is ok, but to continue to ask multiple of these questions every time takes away from what these fantastic players are there to do and the hardwork they have put in. We have Cummings, Degenek, Karacic, Souttar, Boyle etc all of which are Aussies born overseas. We have Hrustic, Vukocic and a great number of remarkable talents of various backgrounds and they don't get barraged with these questions. Let's just be proud of these blokes and watch Football… PLEASE!

      I hope Awer, Garang, Thomas and Keanu start ignoring these ridiculous attempts by journos moving forward. These are professionals and they deserve to have questions that are relevant to their professions and not continue to be reminded every single day that they are from diverse backgrounds as if that is the reason they've made it to this level.

      The French don't even distract their players like this.

      These 3 young men are phenomenal role models. Speak with confidence, calmness and logic of an experienced veteran. Kudos to them 👏 Stay humble, be brave, go fight for your country, success will surely come their way. Go Aussies.

      What I thought was an awkward question by Tracey turned out to be a good question as the answer was excellent. This is a very good interview by all concerned.

      Very well spoken Awer, Thomas, and Garang!
      You are not only role models for the Sudanese community, but for Australia as a whole.
      I am very proud to call myself an Australian.
      Thank you.

      Why have these 3 players with African heritage share a single press conference when the other conferences have been with 2 players?
      They are all true blue Aussies, no different to any other Aussie.
      I know Tommy and Awer are good mates, but I would have thought Garang would have been in a press conference with Cumdog or JMac.
      We as a nation have people with all different types of backgrounds
      To me, this smacks of racism, especially with the typical woke leftist ABC reporter questions.

      Anyway, all 3 interviewed well and i expect all 3 to play well.
      It would be great to see Tommy come back to the mighty Victory one day too! He was a really good player for us and we're good at welcoming players back.
