Still a ways off from having an Aussie that can coach a NT well.

perhaps around 6 guys will nail a starting spot in a good league this year (rogic, davidson, mcgowan, irvine, bouzanic and ryan)
last year we had 6 as well. Perhaps this is the new normal

at this rate that will give us a talent pool of 18 by the asian cup plus what was already there before that

oar with a fantastic assist for utrects 2nd

Utrecht leading AZ 2:0

Oar involved in the build up for the first goal by playing in Bulthuis who got the assist. Got the assist for the second goal through a beautiful run and lays off to De Ridder.

Beautiful little run from Oar for the assist on the second.

Goals at 3:10 & 5:30. Oar involved in both.

Nice from Tommy.

Beautiful final ball for both, and great that he turned it over and brought it into the attacking half himself, should hopefully prove how indispensable he is in the coach's eyes.

A number of good performances over night for the OS Aussies http://osaussies.com/sunday-wrap-47/

So sick of the Holger bashing in this thread.

#HolgerOut
#thupercoachOut

:)

At the risk of repeating myself, given the other thread on this Oz wrap, this seems to be the National team selection based on last weekend's performances:

Ryan
Wilkshire Lowry Williams Davidson
Leckie Jedinak Holland Oar
Rogic
Kruse
Subs: Neill, Herd, Paartalu, Kennedy, McDonald (Langerak/Jones/Federici)

Ok, I'm going, I'm going...

\:d/

:lol:

The Paartalu inclusion is a joke right :-s

It's not nearly as funny as your reading and comprehension though ;)

Holland poster some pretty good stats this weekend

source: http://www.laola1.at/de/fussball/bundesliga/saison-2014/6/rd-6-statcheck/page/63299-32-48-48-.html

Holland   
Ball contacts:47   
Challenges won:75.0% (12/4) - I think this is tackles + things like aerial duels (highest for his team
Pass completion: 84.6% (22/4)   
Rating: 7.4

How do Holland's stats compare to others in the league?

Nice XI.

Interesting that all of them started their senior careers in the A-League, except for all of the back 4. :-k

Persoanlly I'm not a fan of the big fella...too slow for mine, but he did get game time so that was the reason he's on the subs bench. The choice was between him and Ollie Bozanic who is going through a purple patch at the moment but gave the nod to Portaloo because Bozanic has no previous NT form. Must admit however if Bozanic keeps up this run of form he will be hard to ignore.

Wow look everybody we have a grammarian among us ;)

He was criticising your comprehension skills. Nothing to do with grammar. But predictably you failed to comprehend what he was saying...

What is with ESPN showing the Basel game over the Austria one? 6:45 start would have been great for me and you would think Australia's Croatian footballing community is bigger than our Swiss or Bulgarian ones?

If they do get turned over I will be pissed as I want to watch how Holland plays for him club side, also if they do go through who was the last player to get close to a full 540 minutes in the CL group stages? Holamn in 09/10?

you think ESPN will care about what game they are showing? they get what they are given by uefa thats it.

Why have Setanta stopped showing the Dutch league?

Just sang that in my head to "Bad to the bone".

Time for Zullo to come home

Anyone know what the odds of Davidson being a regular in Herecles starting XI for the rest of the season are? A couple of times he has pulled 3 or 4 full games together and then been out of the squad alltogether
