And all three have warts.

Football can not survive at an elite level without joining the professional world of sport. Does that also ring a bell?

Craig Moore, Mark Viduka and now departing TD Rob Sherman have criticised the FFA for not putting 'football first' does this ring a bell? 

he didn't want it... preferred Moore and so did I.

Gee thanks Paul, I'll remember that when I go interview for that newscaster role at the BBC London next week.

It's pretty much what he's implying.  :laugh:

I could never forget his on-field camera comments whilst staring into the camera after the game.....

"Daaaah hi ma"

ROFL

Between the 2 Viduka threads its not surprising he has kept low for such a long time.
With the type of australian football supporters we have who needs enemies.
I take my hat off to him, a real treasure of our game that we've never had since be it not enough goals in NT by some knockers to his laconic manner that doesn't suit your expectations.
Učinio sam to na svoj način :)
Viduka = LEGEND

Sounds like his strained relationship with Kewell was due to Mandic more than anything else - sounded like they were fine now. Maybe not best mates, but not everyone has to be best mates to work well together on the pitch.

Interesting veiled swipe at Neill - I'd love to hear his thoughts on Cahill and his entire vi$ion shtick.

Now don’t fight, I’m sure all four of you can go if you want.

It's my mate and I

Literally the Mecca of any Australian football pilgrimage.

You literally only hate him because he's Croatian and was the face of the NSL you boring old fuck. 

Me and my mate are already talking about doing a football trip to the balkans once the movement restrictions are over and his cafe is definitely getting a visit.

Maybe it literally was a sneaky pic as Viduka might not have wanted the publicity. I'd love to go to his cafe if I was visiting, however, even if he wasn't on barista duty!

Couldn't they have taken a better pic of the cafe? It's almost an upskirter ffs

Why would you think they all got along really well? 

The Italian World Cup winners from 1982 hated each other...

How strange for Viduka to be talking now? After all these years. For some reason I always thought the golden gen blokes all got along really well. Shame, as it does tarnish them slightly unfortunately.

LOL Viduka couldn't even score from the penalty kick vs Uruguay. It's not easy under pressure but other Aussies did it during the 2006 WC as he couldn't even assist. Your last sentence is true and is not unfamiliar for Viduka that he performed well when "he" felt like it. Confirms the point that he was lazy as all f*ck most other times. Could also explain why big clubs didn't pick him up.

As noted by others his role was to have his back to goal and use his strength and skills to set up play.  If it was so easy to score international goals Messi would have scored some in the last WC and he and Baggio wouldn't have missed famous penalties and caused eliminations in WC games. 

Unlike you I am sure that Viduka tried his guts out every time he stepped on the field to play for Australia.  If you want to talk about traitors try Aussie Josip Šimunić who turned his back on Australia and got 3 yellow cards against us in the famous WC game.  I clearly remember him tackling Viduka (a great rugby tackle around the upper body) after trying earlier to hack Kewell out of the game.  Graham Poll what an absolute idiot.  

One thing I will say though.  Is that Viduka had an amazing ability to score heaps of goals when his EPL contract was about to run out.
 

You do realise he's role for the national team in most cases was to be a hold up player for the rest of the attackers right? 

Yes, it makes Cahill superior to all Aus players. Was certainly not a dear in the headlights in front of goal, in internationals.

Only a two hour drive to the coast - hook the tinnie up and go float in the Mediterranean for the summer.

That's the life!

Zagreb is not on tbe coast but top spot nonetheless.

bitter paulc once again, at least you create response's.
Not everyone is the perfect being mate.
He didn't score, he's this he's that......
I'm sure your not perfect.

Vidukas Wiki 

His father Joe was from Croatia, from where he immigrated to Australia in the 1960s. Croatian footballer and Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modrić is his cousin.^[45] 

Wow

Dukes was a genuine world class player in terms of ability. He seemed to fluctuate between a nominal amount of professionalism and a "I don't care that much" attitude throughout his career and this held him back from the top.

Same with Harry re. injuries. 

Cahill was a pretty standard footballer that worked extra hard and had a freakish knack for being in the right place at the right time. 

Some people are just bitter that he didn't sycophant himself before Australian football in order to gain financial advantage. 

Gee I wonder who did that right?    :D

'Viewed as a traitor'. FFS.

Worse places in the world to retire than the Dalmatian Coast! I daresay his Aussie dollars and English pounds stretch a lot further in Croatia than here - smart man. Living the dream and enjoying time with his family.

Incredible he's not part of the game, imagine what he could have taught to the upcoming strikers In this country.
