How many of our current senior team are products of the national curriculum?

National curriculum as in the FoE? Or players that have come through the HAL?

I've heard that about a brazilian times.

Brazilian international defender Monica Hickmann Alves is heading to Adelaide United for the 2016/17 W-League season. The 29 year old joins Adelaide on loan from NWSL side Orlando Pride and is the first known Adelaide United international signing. http://thewomensgame.com/2016/10/brazilian-internat...

I'm sure they did. That's obviously more important than goals!

0-0 draw with Tajikistan. We missed a penalty and had a player sent off.
Another Asian Youth Championship, another disappointment.

His dad must be sick of him getting stuck into all his Lambrusco he's been saving up for then.

2-3 loss to Uzbekistan. Both of our goals came from penalties as well and the Uzbek captain was sent off in the second half. China lost to Tajikistan who we play next so the winner of that game will most likely join the Uzbeks in the knock out stage. Shame. You know its grosso's job to post losses,...

Looking at the squad as well. Interestingly Reno Piscopo of Inter-Milan Primavera side is part of the squad. I had heard he wasn't keen to play for Australia so that's great to hear.

I sincerely apologise for the delay in updating you all on the AFC U19 championship.
But since Grosso hasn't updated us all we all can tell Australia must have won their first game.
1-0 v China. Next game is tomorrow v Uzbekistan.

I didn't get to see all the game but it looked like we had our chances as did they so a draw seems fair. Seems to be some calls now for a midfield shake up. I have to agree. I think Jedinak needs to earn his starting spot. Milligan to me seems far more accomplished in the DM role. I think playing Mo...

Of course you did.

Happy with the 3 points. You're happy with 1 v Saudi Arabia :lol: Definitely better than zero against Iceland. Iceland also got zero against England. You may be struggling with the concept here but I wasn't happy with losing to Iceland, people on here seem to be happy with drawing with Saudi Arabia...

It's always nice to know someone has my back. Now I know how John Lennon felt.

Another pretty impressive performance in tough conditions. I think we took a little while to get going which accounts for the first goal. Their second could have really gone anywhere so it was a bit unlucky. Happy to see Juric on the board again. If the midfield could offer he a decent amount of ser...

So the remainder of the qualifiers are to be shown live on 9. Huge move. Let's hope they get a few people who know what they are talking about and not Ken Sutcliffe just bluffing his way through a broadcast. Hopefully this could be 9 dipping their toe to see if the HAL is worth bidding on. Although ...

I know it says U18s but is it really the U18s?

That's what qualification is.
If they were in the World Cup they would have qualified.
This tournament is the qualifiers.

That is the World Cup qualification....

Well done young roos. Hoping they can replicate on bigger stages to come The bigger stage is coming soon! U19 AFC championships start middle of October. It'll be interesting to see how much the squad changes. Surely they won't want to tinker with a winning squad too much. Panos Armenakas has been o...

Why are Joeys getting pumped 6-0 against Japan?

This job doesn't pay enough.

5-1 winners! U19 AFF Champions.

Wow. Bottom of the group. What a disaster. If this isn't a massive wake up call nothing is. Hopefully this is a indication to the FFA that the CoE isn't so excellent.

That is pleasing! Still very young so if he develops well he could be a good asset for the Socceroos. Agree. If he continues his good form in Austria, with his EU passport, anything is possible.
