If this is the supposed curriculum generation coming through then we are in a bit trouble.

When will stop accepting mediocrity and actually act for once?

Lets stop making excuses about other countries shall we.

Does not curriculum allow teams to play against different formations as well as not always playing out from the back? It seems to me that we expect our opposition to play the same way we do which is just not the case. 

I was told results don't matter though :) Breeding a nice losers mentality 

Guys we being told don’t jump in yet wait till a few years till the curriculum kids come through and now are here and I bet the mediocrity of our failures at youth level will still continue on in the future when we lose to Cambodia, Laos etc.

I can’t see the quality of players changing anytime soon if results like these continue.

Did you see the game?>Malaysia just out smarted/out played them in every move. Aus U15 did have a few shots on goal but overall they were just poor.

Was there any major changes to the squad for the last 2 games?

Same lineup that beat Cambodia except a 2 changes I don't know who they were?.

I feel embarrassed 

And that’s been too common with all of our youth teams, mostly getting outplayed and out thought.

Seriously when was the last time Australia had a decent youth team that did well that had quality players? 

We need to understand that Malaysia are beating opponents easy - so lets show them some respect. Secondly many of those teams have been playing local opposition for a long time and gel together well as a team Thirdly the muggy and hot conditions don't bode well for any aussie team to play every 2 days. The coach should have managed his players better. Thirdly yes the team performance is important but we are also (mostly) trying to unearth future stars. This process is fine. 

We may beat Malaysia again in the finals...

Some of you - before you post how about you ask yourself 'is my first thought really annoyingly negative - if so - maybe i should not post'....

The under 20 squad has been finalised with Kai Calderbank-Park being confirmed as the only O/S participant.

No dis-respect to Lleyton Brooks as I know he is a good player, but having un-contracted players in under-age teams just seems plain stupid to me.

I'm really starting to see underage football, apart from under 23s, as being almost irrelevant to how players turn out long term at senior level.

I've seen so many precocious talents fade out over the last 14 years of the HAL epoch, and so many other late developers flourish who did  little as underage players, that there isn't much purpose getting too excited about most players under the age of 20.

When I coached an under 14 rep team as one of three feeders to the state team, the stars  of of that team have mainly not progressed to NPL senior football, whilst some of the lesser lights have played senior NPL football and participated in national comps like FFA and NPL Cup.

In an under 12 girls rep team, as one of seven feeders to the state team more of them progressed to NPL /state league level than the boys though.  

It is difficult to pick what players will be like in 5 - 10 years time.  Some work so much harder on their game to improve than others too.

Hopefully sometime in the future we actually have a plan for youth development.
At the moment its a mess.
Mediocrity breeds mediocrity.
If you aren't sending  the best young players in Australia  out to  beat overseas opponents and develop a winning culture,then there is no point having national teams.
National teams are supposed to compete to win.

You have no more right to share your opinion than any other forum user. Your “annoyingly negative” is someone else’s discussion point. The sole purpose of a forum is for like minded people to share ideas, if you can’t handle that perhaps you shouldn’t post?

Just looking at the squad who is going to be the striker in this team? John Roberts would have helped but he’s not selected which is weird.

The defence is unknown as well.

The attackers are good players, should build a team around that.
