The Swiss made the arrests at the States' behest. I think it's because the money was allegedly laundered through US banks.

This is and always has been an issue under the current 'jobs for the mates' regime.

so what's the motivation of Gombau and AU?

Develop club first game second. FFA/FFSA should be game first, development will come with strong club backing.

I agree with JohnyD and the interview is close to what i have witnessed here in SA. I know that Gombau didnt like what he saw...makes me wonder wether the new Adelaide United Soccer School will be any different. Different motivation for Gombau and AU.

And Australian coaches still look for left footed left backs, instead of the more gifted left and right footed player
Good read.

You've given him too much credit - it was irony, not satire. :lol: Satire :wink: noun 1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc. 2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derisio...

No, you're being a nosey shite. If the parents, or you, are that concerned then become a member of a club and attend an agm. Me? I don't need to, I have been there done that for years. I know the costs and hard work involved to run a club with mostly volunteers. Sorry mate that post was meant for J...

Where in the topic header does it link to parents being charged?

johndedes wrote:Good point I should reframe, the italian community appear to have the soccer dollars?

Look at WAMK17 (or whatever we are up to), their cap and personnel they bought to win through SL. With $60K cap, and non italian.
Makes you envious of the accounting acumen.

The old Hellas was like that "cash incentives" for winning, the 1978 famous League win was on the back of cash cow payments. So do clubs need better mercaneries and selection off or try building culture and juniors up? they had three of the best mercs (and most expensive) last year and th...

Please explain

JD put Australia's forward?

So with the FFA curriculum we are on the right track?

what happened to the 'Brendon Rodgers minime' from last season?
He was doing ok wasn't he?

Han Berger should be the first one to be turfed out the door. Has done nothing for the development of the sport since he's been in the role. Surprised he is being missed by everyone calling for heads. Was easy to sack Holger, someone high up needs to take a good hard look at this clown and what he'...

topic back on track....
Well done Diego, Eastern United and AC Milan coaches, great three days.
All the kids did well, were pushed, learned a lot and had a great time. (which is what it is all about).

When being a member of the State team does not rely on the ability to pay, then maybe the most talented players will get selected. As a matter of interest, which talented players did not get selected to go to Coffs due to the cost ? u13 Skilleroos is 11 mths of training/playing FREE plus all their ...

I would not be trying for the U15s as their coach is all about winning, blaming others for is mistakes, have no respect for referees and other coaches. he does not develop players and his methods are from last century. unsubstantiated, definitely emotionally comprised first post.... do I take my so...

I was at AC junior grounds this morning and saw two team square up, AC and Metro... they must have been all of 10. Metro boy and AC lad shake and hug before the kick off. Well done boys. That is sportsmanship.

Most players are selected to fill spots, (positional placings) not investments in the future, as clubs will always try to entice, select the best to the club. IMO the topic is a little irrelevant as senior football is what is about. Seniors - 18, ressies & first team should be hard fast and some...

in all this development discussion of the "best tams" do stats become important at junior level?
They certainly are in senior grades.

GK are players not just shot stoppers. They need to be taught similar field skills and positional awareness appreciation. It been mentioned above that players need to look to penetrate the defense. The game is not always an attacking one. Tempo techniques are taught at teen years and above. Its more...

I say we play the game on pitches for the first half of the season and then at the beach and any other random park for the second half. This way pitches and "bouncy balls" can be taught. It all comes down to basic skills...... practice practice practice. Kids in brazil, bolivia, ubetucan, ...
