    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.

    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.

    @scottymitch1 Před 28 dny +1

    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..........

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?

    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.

      ‘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.
