+x+xA few nights ago on Shootout, Cahill exhorted Aussies plain overseas to come home for regular game time under good coaches. He was talking up the quality of HAL coaches with uniform methodology, consistent with Ange's Socceroos. The only problem is he is making a fortune playing in the HAL. Most other Aussie players would have to drop their wages markedly to play HAL football. Having spent the last few years soaking up all the cash he could find in the USA and China, and having only returned to Australia because of the massive marquee deal the FFA was willing to support - it's a complete piss-take for Cahill to turn around and say anyone should be coming home. In one way it is hypocritical. On the other hand it is good him talking up the HAL. Until this article, I didn't realise the disparity between what players earn overseas, particularly The Gulf and China, compared to Australia - Cahill being the notable exception.
