Your a fool, the dutch second division has unearthed far more good/great players in the last ten years than the A-League.

Honda from Japan is a very good example.

:d

i'm the fool....tell me something that happen 10 years a go , as if it the same today

Kruse not even in the squad. Jesus.

Tyton was poor again, particularly on Dortmund's second goal. Baffles me that Langerak hasn't had a shot yet.

He timed his injury poorly at the start of the season but I don't know what he's doing wrong to have hardly had a sniff since then.

Exactly that with the injury. Tyton made some decent stops and the poor defending probably removes some of the blame. Stubborn manager who doesn't want to toy with keepers.

if australia had the same playing roster as japan there would be people on here demanding that we win the world cup in russia - anything less would mean ange was a failure :)

Neymar Burns and Billy Celeski about to go at it. Both starting.

Super weird that Celeski couldn't get a HAL gig but is starting in Japan...
Personally I think he's fantastic.

Well done Billy.

10 years ago, the Dutch League was one of the best. It is nowhere near the level it used to be and the Eerste divisie would not have benefited from it that's for sure

Frustrating is a lot of these Japanese players aren't much better than ours. Clubs get them for marketing reasons and they're reasonably cheap.

Every German club has a token Japanese player. Many of them can't handle the physical side of the league. Meanwhile our players will give it a good go but because they don't do a pirouette they're not something awesome. At least in the eyes of fans and media. They're raving on about the tricky Japanese still even years after the first arrived.

Kagawa, Haraguchi and Muto have had good seasons but Sakai, Kiyotake, Yamaguchi, Osako, Yamada and Hasebe have frustrated their fans.

Meanwhile Halloran has done well enough with limited minutes, Langerak and Kruse are being pissed on while Leckie needs to be careful as his form is stagnant. Holland and Degenek have performed average to poor and their clubs' position reflects this.

I just wish our better players were also given a shot. They need to secure moves where they'll be used.

Jovanovic starting against Evergrande.
Kalik starts against Rijeka
Rogic plays soonish.

that all it is....

football is governed by perception, follow the leader type of thing..the perception in German football is the J_league and Japan have good players who can play bundesliga

you can watch hajduk split game on bet365

Kalik starting

Rogic and Irvine starting ..playing against each other

Awesome stuff.

Anyone know if you can find SPL replays anywhere?

Cheers boss.

Bein Connect?

Jedinak starting in crystal palace vs watford FA Cup S/F....game at Wembley Stadium ...start in 30 min

What channel hot stuff?

Gersbach starting \:d/

Palace score on 6min. 1:0

54 minutes for Ikon, replaced by the scorer of the third goal in a 3-1 win.

Rogic replaced on 64 mins and fans boo the coach for taking Rogic off. Ross County equalised a minute before.

Gersbach not just starting in Norway league, he start for the top team in Norway,.....this is not like A_league where any team can beat any other on a given weekend

i think this shows, if your 17 or 18 years old, and your a starting players for A_league club, then your going to be a good player

I expect they'll be playing in European qualifiers as soon as July/August?

12–13 July 1st game for Rosenborg (Second qualifying round)...get to play team like Zalgiris Vilnius , Dundalk or maybe Flora Tallinn :lol:

Palace up 2:1. Jedinak still on and shutting out Jurado. 4 left.

Deeney brushes Jedinak in the face with an elbow. Jedinak takes it on the chin knowing he's on the winning side.

5 added on at Wembley

Jedinak into the final!!! Two massive headers from Jedinak as Watford tried to go long. Deserved.

watching Watford play football, it's hard to believe they playing in EPL this year and next year
