74 minutess for Juric against Dinamo
Sainsbury not in the squad against Brugge



By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

Odd as he was named in the squad the day before but didn't get on the team sheet.

This thread is so depressing these days. Gone are the days when we actually had players playing for clubs in the top 10 european leagues. It's now basically an aussies [playing u23's/reserves abroad threa

We've still got Degenek and Mabil at CL sides, Holland captaining one of the better EL sides, Irvine and Boyle now at an EL club, leckie and Hrustic coming off the bench in the bundesliga, Rogic a starter/squad rotation player at a top 50 club, Ryan backup at a top 20 side, plus talk of Souttar going to PL club, Watts on bench at PL, Mooy is a top 5 league player easily... actually things look a lot better now than they did in 2013/14.

For context we only have 4 active players in the top 4 leagues but only a very few are getting on the pitch on a regular basis.

We need to build that top 4 league representation as well as increase the amount of players outside of that especially in first division leagues.
 
For comparison our Asian neighbor Japan have around 10 in top 4 league representation and the rest in very good leagues outside of the top 4.

Jeggo starting
Borrello subbed on late
Delbridge subbed on in the first half. 2-1 loss. Poor start to the season for Incheon.

Mate please share some of what you’re smoking haha

Sure Degenek and Mabil played in the Champions League but 95% of the season they’re playing in an average league. Serbian and Danish league close to the top ten in Europe?

When was the last time Hibernian did anything decent in European football? Again, the Scottish league is absolutely dreadful. 

Can you tell me how many minutes Hrustic has played in the Bundesliga? What about Ryan?

Mooy is a top five league player easily... maybe a few years ago.

how come no one ever mentions Karacic? most underrated player we have... the Croatian league is decent quality we seen that with Dinamo this year in the Europa League. Brescia in with a chance of promotion if they can get a run going.

I think people doubt him because of his lack of English.   This guy should be in the next squad and should even be starting. Cleur has even taken a big step in his development this season getting good game time in serie.b.  unfortunately though looks like his team will be relegated

Also helps with the national team and U17/U20 doing so well at the World Cup and the J-League being on par with some of the lesser European leagues.

Yeah but outside of Hajduk and Dinamo it's def worse than a-league imo
Big difference is the players are technically better and 1 or 2 from teams can go on to big careers where we have 1 or 2 from our league full stop.

The first sentence was confirmed by players playing in the Croatian league decades ago.

Many European leagues  feature this phenomenon. Like H Split and Dinamo Z, they have two or three dominant powerhouse clubs, often with European pedigree, while the rest of the clubs play at a much lower standard.
