red card genoa fiorentina should win

Third and final sub made for Fiorentina. No Brillante today.

ce la vie he did well to make the bench after a nervous debut

Sorry man, was trying to not come across as aggressive. There is no international standard... That's my point. International football is the broadest spectrum in football quality, so to assume that there is a standard, is nothing short of the poorest football analysis that there is, and as an Asian nation, we must recognise that. We have plenty of players who are able to get us to the last stage of WC qualifying... We have players who can get us to the WC, and we have players who can almost compete at he WC... But there is no standard in international football.... That's a ridiculous myth made up by people who've never considered anything more than the 32 nations in the World Cup finals.

C'est*

And agreed.

Ah nice, yeah considered that too. That works well and I was wondering inala - do we 'kind of' do this anyway? :-k Under Ange our FBs push up high and overlap, so I presume Oar naturally stays a bit deeper anyway? :-k But clearly, with the current approach, he is just sitting wide - but as we and the post-Saudi discussion suggest, if Oar can be a bit more mobile/flexible, especially when we're with the ball, then he may be more effective. Your example seems to both show a way how and also the way we'll/Ange will probably approach this? IIRC We've often seen second screeners drop wide to cover overlapping backs in the past too.

I really hope Ange has figured this out and Oar and our NT benefit from this tactical tweak - it may finally solve one of our long running tactical problems with Oar. Then Ange and co just need to figure how to get the best out of Jedi (Getting him to sit deeper or something like his Palace role - that's forum consensus?)?

Troisi already speaking English with a Belgian accent, but most importantly confirming that he still has a contract with Juventus.

lol that accent is shocking. couldn't get through the interview.

That was painful.

Got through about 20 seconds of it.

What in the actual fuck?

10 for me. Always thought he thought he was a bit special tbh.

The guy moved over to Europe when he was still a kid, this often happens with Aussies that go overseas when they are teens. A lot of the english based boys have weird hybrid accents. I would say he sounded continental, its hard to narrow it down to a particular country though, italian if anything maybe. Good to see he is doing something at least, also good that Juve still own him. This could mean two things, they either see promise in him, or they will continually loan him out until end of contract hoping they can get a good transfer fee and if not release him upon contract end. The other interesting taking from this is that Vidmar had nothing to do with the transfer, i had just thought from the go that would have been what had happened. Then again maybe they didn't cross paths too much back in the City days.

It's not his own accent, he's just unconsciously copied the accents of those around him to fit in, just like what happened to Steve McClaren and Joey Barton. It's called speech accommodation, and is something that native speaking English teachers are taught to avoid.

I remember Ange putting on a weird accent in an interview before the World Cup.

It's annoying when people do it.

Interesting that Tim Cahill has a typical Australian accent with barely any traces of any other accents.

hahahaha wow!

By the way, was I reading this right? Did Fiorentina really have 12 subs on the bench? :/

what?? cahill sounds totally english.

Oh my God, Troisi.

I'm done. That is just too weird.

Can anyone find the Ange interview where he had an accent?

French and Belgium are quite similiar, maybe Troisi is planning on taking over this guys role.

RE: Troisi...everyone seems to be doing it

Nah not really

Oar starting off the season well

We are hitting form at that right time. Mon!!

Perhaps the Socceroos can wear red + white so Oar can pretend he's at his club and will actually play well. :-k

Looks like Oar should be playing more centrally.

Re: Troisi's accent. It's definitely some Dutch english there.

And don't forget they speak dutch or french in belgium, and his team is in the dutch-speaking part of the country.

*Flemish

Puts it into perspective, well done to them.
