The System in Australia. High JR fees to support Snr NPL teams and no investment into the miniroos programs.
Because you don’t advance to the top levels in Australian football on ability.
It’s a mixture of embarrassingly poor tactical and technical knowledge and blatant nepotism by coaches and clubs.
Thank the Aussie coaches who ruin the careers of our players
FOOTBALL REGISTRATION is too expensive!!!
FOOTBALL NEEDS MORE INVESTMENT FROM AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT, IT IS THE MOST POPULAR AND LARGEST SPORT IN AUSTRALIA AND THE WORLD.
FOOTBALL AUSTRALIA NEEDS TO BUILD A FOOTBALL ACADEMY.
How could it be the most popular sport in Australia, but require government funding?
@@collano9276 every sport but soccer is subsidised by the Australian government except soccer
@@collano9276why does that need explaining?
IT IS THE MOST POPULAR AND LARGEST SPORT IN AUSTRALIA.....it is not. If it was the most popular, crowds would be huge and it could pay it's own way and not need government handouts.
@@stevemurrell6167 nah you just don't understand do you do you want me to explain it or nah
Australian football doesn't produce true strikers and that needs to be fixed
Australian Football Academy
Albo and co need to pull their fingers out and fund FOOTBALL.
Stop funding those gimmick Local Bastardised sports!!!
Ripoffs of Galic Football and Rugby Union/American Football (AFL and NRL)
More anti-soccer propaganda from the nrl sponsors
Exactly it’s not rugby league or afl it’s the world sport
They aint wrong!
It’s actually coming from an ex soccer player you muppets so don’t hate on rugby league. Get over it. The truth hurts you delicate little beings
anti-soccer propaganda? if anything this sheds light in trying to fix the fact that Australia has way more potential than what it shows on the footballing front
why do we completely ignore that the socceroos had arguably their best World Cup run in history in 2022? 2 clean sheets, goals in every game, made it out of a group with France and Denmark, only lost to the eventual winners 2-1.
Slater is a joke. Socceroos had their best ever World Cup, academies in the a league are the best they have ever been. Slater is just sour he has been rejected by football media.
Moved over from england. Fees to play football are ridiculous and the tactics and knowledge at grass roots is at caveman standards. Most local teams in bne are more interested in becoming a host club for the olympics than developing players.
They need to bring back NSL Teams like South Melbourne, Wollongong and Sydney United who actually have fans and stop creating teams like Western United and Macarthur who do not.
Great call bro 👍
So teams with more fans will help us to do exactly what? This is about the planning of the federation...pedestrian coaches and players playing in second rated leagues and third rated teams....so what is the plan here? None.
Get rid of A-League salary cap
No ! Gone bust in two seasons if we do ! …
Next season we might have 3 players playing in the EPL if they are all promoted. Souttar (Leicester City) Burgess & Luongo (Ipswich Town)
2 players in the Bundesliga. Irvine & Metcalfe (St.Pauli)
And 1 player in Serie A. Circati (Parma)
Things are not as bad as everyone is making out. Also Tilio & Irankunda were both left out of the olyroo squad who are the 2 best young attacking players we have so it's no surprise we struggled going forward.
Getting rid of the name socceroos would be a start
Yeah time for change
Football in this country constantly shoots itself in the foot..junior levels require financial support to help with costs to families..Australia can no longer rely on a crop of young superstar just appearing..it takes support from the governing body to encourage kids to play..some sports are footing the bills to kids on board..
Bring in the player transfer system and that changes the economies of football
A League died when Fox Sports stopped broadcasting
Exactly right you now need 10 remotes just to find paramount my father in law 90 years old constantly has problems finding it.
It's quite embarrassing.....some of those shots were sub standard. We don't deserve to be at the Olympics.
What the clubs charge for junior players is a laugh…you need poor hungry kids not the kids coming in BMW’s to training they ain’t hungry!
Really Slater. You're so negative. The game is far from its worst position ever. What have you been actually done to advance the game in this country. You are always keen to knock it, never keen to boost it.
20 Years next season- ISUZU UTE A-League
18 Years next season- Liberty A-League
National 2nd Division (Name in process)
Both our Mens and Womens (Roos and Tillies) are going well in World Cups and Confederation International Competitions!
Definitely a Lot of Positives!
Quality of Football improving in the A-Leagues!
These 'armchair critics' saying LOW CROWDS THIS AND THAT!??... Crowds are Down on ALL SPORTS!!!!
There is no bigger enemy of Australian football than Australian football itself.
2 things off the top of my head.
1. Australian football is nowhere near as good as Robbie slater, Bosnich etc think it is.
2. Football Australia doesn’t invest into the junior clubs enough. Simple.
it's soccer, if you want australians to jump all the way on board, accept that it's not the most popular "football" in australia and promote it as such
Australian football IS in a mess. Poor international performance and few, if any, players making it to major leagues. Are there any Aussies playing in the EPL / La Liga / Serie A? Comments here are right about excessive registration fees for juniors. Local kids here are paying $3k+ per year. There should also be a ban on imports to the A-League. This serves no purpose. And bring back u/21 or reserve teams in A League clubs. At the moment, juniors get to 18 years old and, for most, need to drop to a lower standard to get a game or simply lose interest. Very few are good enough to jump straight to open-age football. Then football administration..........
When I played Foot ball, Many years ago, the Coaches ALWAYS drilled in to ALL PLAYERS WHATEVER POSITION , It was the MIND SET of the WHOLE TEAM ... NO GOALS NO WIN .
Its not the money
1 month later this aged like Milk. Record grand final viewers. Record crowd in Gosford. Mariners won a treble. Matildas sold out 14 games in a row. Irankunda and many other youth players doing well.
The FA and A League clubs couldn't run a chook raffle at the local RSL club. Foreign has beens and never wasers noone knows or cares about running around in the A League. All our good young home grown players leave. Television coverage is pathetic. Salary cap means we can't attract world class players. No second division with promorion and relegation. Nothing happens or changes. What's not to like?
the lowest point would be not qualifying for the world cup.
I love football it's so fun to play, but watching it on the other hand 😴😴😴 90 mins no goals 😮
If kids have to pay to play 2k plus to get into dev programs of course it’s going to fall apart…
Just as well for Sydney fc,wanderers & victory who get descent crowds.
Lenny kravitz/Billy idol afl pre game entertainment grand final 😂😂😂😂❤❤😂😂❤❤😂❤❤❤😂
Does anyone actually care about olympic football? Why?
N.daicos brownlow medal 2024😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's football in general that's heading down hill , its all posession ,touch pass ,touch pass ,touch pass ,that's easy ,you literally need nothing special about you to play professionally, compare today's football say in the premierleague to the past with players like Romario,Ronaldo,ginola,gascoine,
ronaldinho, to say Phil foden , grelish, rice, the current stars are good players but they do nothing special compared to a proper skillful past footballer , we will never get better while the game is in this current state of posession.
Oohh what a shame! 😂🤣
Demise? It was never up there 😂
We should look to invest in aboriginal people. Natural athletes, they are very agile too.
If we develop them and get them breaking into europe then australia would be lethal.
Australia Football is Australian Rules Football, not Soccer. Soccer is the traditional name of the sport in Australia, ie Socceroos.
Football is the name
Association Football
"Soccer" is a made up name by the Yanks
The World (including Australia) knows it as Football
The A league went woke, no one is watching...Hence no one wants to sponsor it. I stopped watching 5 years ago, and I am so glad I did from the reports I am hearing of it's wokeness. I also don't have to listen to that insufferable Andy Harper.
What part of it is woke? Just sounds like your favourite buzzword
How is it woke 😂
Just because they are trying to make A-League Women improve
It's destroying sport in this country..there's a push on for equality in pay from within the nrl..can only be achieved by robbing the mens lower grades, the death of the code.
‘Woke’ is now just a nonsense word that uncultured people use to attack things or people that they don’t like.
Also if it’s because of the branding and naming of the men’s and women’s leagues, well the AFL and NRL do the same kind of thing and it’s not an issue.
The people running the game for the last two decades now have screwed the pouch 👝 disgraceful
Anti A-league media at its finest😂
