Picked for the size of body?, the best defender in the world, was a short womble! But intelligent! CANNAVARO was his name If Cannavaro was Australian, by the age of 14 he would of been told by many specialist coaches that he was toooo small.. The same ones running our big name academies . Would of represented Australia in rugby league All of our dominant youth strikers are big kids...says something.

Every good footballing nation has their own style and our's should be " KICK THE CRAP OUT OF THEM STYLE ". It's unique, it's achievable and it requires big players with no skill.
The best part is we don't need any coaches either and infact a half decent rugby league coach will do.
The FFA will save heaps of money.

Wonder how many kids much more talented than this shambles of a national team that are struggling to convincingly beat developing countries are in the local competitions that can’t afford the $2500 youth league regos, this will never get spotted or the opportunity to represent their country?
I wonder what the Indonesians are paying for their rego compared to the aussies

I think the latest unofficial estimate was 500 players for this age group in New South Wales alone.

Considering the start, it has been a pretty impressive turnaround and qualifying for the World Cup is a great achievement. It's hard to tell without seeing all the games, but it sounds like the more time the Team has spent together, the better it has gotten. I suspect they have adjusted also to what would be pretty tough playing conditions compared to what they are used to here.

You're right Cat. Trevor Morgan and the squad have developed over the tournament. We conceded early in this game from a defensive error that was finished well by their striker. From there we conlove of my lifeed the game, combining well in midfield. The flanks we well marshalled by their pacy backs, so we couldn't really get past them there. Our first goal was a well taken header, from a set play. I still say we should work on aerial development. (Not one page in the curriculum.) The 2nd was a fast transition after we won the ball in the final third, after effective pressing, and a great first time strike, left the Indo keeper well beaten. The third was a peach by Noah, who was played in after we won the ball on the halfway. He ran with the ball, turned his defender inside out to create space, and finished beautifully in the far corner, to lead 3-1 with 15 to go. They scored a consolation in the last minute.
It's interesting to see some of the other teams, and how they have developed. Larger nations such as Indo and India, who have a youth budget that far exceeds ours, have done well this tournament. They have always had large playing pools, but I know for a fact that they, along with others are now spending a lot of cash on coaches, sports scientists, and infrastructure for their youth teams. I suggest that these two, along with a few others, will continue to improve at youth level. Ofcourse that doesn't necessarily translate to senior football, but it's a decent start.

Money going in the right direction is what they are doing one would say Yoda... With ours only looking to increase youth fees, I can only see these nations going past our junior and youth football at International Competitions...perhaps some Australians will move to these countries and set up private academies and infiltrate club teams...this may bring them back to our level...

Spot on Sherlock. I know of three local fellow Sydney coaches and S&C trainers who have headed to India and Singapore in the last 6 months. Working for the local federations, they can make a decent living there, and make a real difference to the quality of player that is produced. And in terms of academies, look no further than Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam for established football schools run by Australian coaches. I'm sure there are others than I am not aware of.
