Yeah not sure a whole lot of scouting went on, next camp maybe.

A lot of the boys selected for this camp feature predominantly in goal scorers in the above link in the 14 years.

Surprising it’s such a mix of clubs. Not all Melbourne city this time.

A lot of junior national teams competing in the next few months, will be great to see how the teams stack up. Also heard the Young Socceroos are playing in the AFF too come August.

Young Bernardo Oliveira is the son of former Adelaide United Cassio. 


Also big ups to James Nieuwenhuizen for being selected from the GV Suns. I imagine it would've been a lot of effort from his parents to give him the opportunity for this.

Joeys Head Coach Trevor Morgan today confirmed the 23 players he’s selected to represent Australia at the 2019 AFF U-15 Championship in Chonburi, Thailand.

Australia will take on hosts Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, and Brunei Darussalam in Group B of the competition.

Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Timor-Leste, Singapore, and Philippines will contest Group A, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the Semi-Finals of the tournament.


The Group Stage will commence on July 27, while the Final will be held on August 9.

“The 2019 AFF U-15 Championship represents the start of this Joeys age group’s journey to the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2021,” Morgan said.

“With a minimum of five and up to seven international matches over the two weeks of the tournament, the AFF U-15 Championship will give the players selected a great introduction to international football.

“Our time in Chonburi will also provide our staff with the chance to work on some key principles with the boys ahead of our 2020 AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers in Vietnam in September this year,” he said.

Ahead of the trip to Thailand the Joeys will hold a brief training camp in Narrabeen north of Sydney.

Seven additional players will join the camp in Narrabeen – Noah Gardner (South Hobart FC, TAS), Jake Girdwood-Reich (Sydney FC, NSW), Julian Monge (Western Sydney Wanderers FC, NSW), Josip Orlovic (Gk) (Sydney United, NSW), Alexander Trajanoski (Blacktown Spartans, NSW), Zac Waddell (Central Coast Mariners FC, NSW), and Jesper Webber (Western Sydney Wanderers FC, NSW).

That quote from Arnie is about 12 years years old...

Ben Cahn or Arthur Papas should have that job.

The fact that we drew with them through Ramy Najjarine's brilliant hit shows what could have been for our boys too if we qualified.

But i agree playing senior football is the key.

GVE is not a good coach, sounds like Arnie giving one of his jobs to his mates.

Surely better options in the NPL set up.

100% this 

Two things to think about:

1. Korean U-20's just made the WC final with half their squad coming from K2 & University Teams. 

2. Whoever is the coach of the U-20's is a moot point. The kids need games both for club and country. Until this happens, we won't improve. 

Atm, it should probably be something like

Arnold-Socceroos (same)
Montemurro-Matildas over Milicic
Muscat-U20 Socceroos over Milicic
Garriock-U20 Matildas over VanEgmond
Morgan-U17 Socceroos (same)
Andreatta-U17 Matildas over Dower

It’s the same dudes FFA keeps passing around through all the jobs. 

It’s like musical chairs for Millicic and GVE. Used to be the same with Vidmar. Such uninspiring choices. 

a really hope a 2nd division helps our coaching talent pool

Oh hell no.
GVM is terrible but at least the u20 women now might have a chance of a good coach.

Matildas assistant coach Gary van Egmond on verge of taking over the Young Socceroos

EMMA KEMPTHE DAILY TELEGRAPH JUNE 11, 2019The Daily Telegraph understands Football Federation Australia is in advanced talks with van Egmond to move him away from the women’s national set-up and into the men’s, though the shift has not yet been finalised.The 53-year-old, who also coaches the Young Matildas, has deputised with Australia’s national women’s team as Alen Stajcic’s right-hand man since 2015.Gary van Egmond is favoured to take over as coach of the Young Socceroos. Picture: Getty ImagesThe A-League-winning former Newcastle Jets coach and father of Matildas midfielder Emily van Egmond was one of the staff members to remain within the set-up after Stajcic’s controversial sacking in January.He has since guided the Young Matildas through the 2019 AFC U-19 Women's Championship qualification phase in Myanmar and overseen pre-World Cup training of the senior squad’s Australian-based players.Van Egmond is in France helping new coach Ante Milicic alongside fellow assistant Ivan Jolic. But the Young Socceroos job has been vacant since Milicic took on the Matildas in February, and FFA is keen to fill it before the start of a new Under-20 World Cup cycle, after the team last year failed to qualify for this year’s tournament in Poland.Slater's all-time FFA rantSocceroos and Olyroos coach Graham Arnold has, since as far back as his first Socceroos stint, expressed his desire to work with van Egmond.“I'm a good friend of Dutchy,” Arnold said in 2007. “I'm not a coach who wants to hide anything from other coaches and Dutchy's a good young Aussie coach.“I'd like, if possible. for him to come into camp and for us to pass on our knowledge to him.”It’s unclear who would replace van Egmond at the Matildas, with Milicic to see the team through until the 2020 Olympics, should they qualify.Brisbane Roar W-League coach Mel Andreatta and Canberra United coach Heather Garriock have acted as assistant and both have the credentials.The Young Matildas role would also have to be filled. https://outline.com/q6B2ew

Does anyone know when the draw for January’s 2020 AFC U-23 Championship in Thailand takes place?

We are seeded terribly in Pot 3 so really need to hope for a favourable draw.

Whilst Gallop is the CEO of the FFA nothing will happen. He is a penny-pitching lawyer who is overpaid for what he does which is attend bug tournement and games and appointing mates to work for the FFA.

I don't see why not... I was thinking overall this could be an Australia wide thing, even then i suppose those guys would still make it. But definitely.

Would players like Metcalfe Najjarime najjar Pierias Delinov cavallo Atkinson be allowed to play since there all under 20? There's a few more from victory squad I'd ask to play also v the npl U20's.

I honestly believe that an NPL 'all-stars' U20 vs an A-League U20's (Young Socceroo's) team would be a brilliant way for the scouts to see see how much of a gap there is between the two competitions. I think you'd find that the NPL team would take it right up to the AL team.

We talk about how divided the game is in Australia, and there is no connection from AL to grassroots, well the FFA cup was sort of one move in the right direction. But this would be an even bigger step.  Have a few camps over the season.

Midway through writing this I remembered that the two seasons don't even line up. So theres the first major setback for those plans.

How about the FFA arrange a regular NPL select vs A-League select games to see the truth. 

So u20 NPL vic Select vs U20 A-League select....

At every level (u13 up) at least two times per year. Lets have a gala day! One home one away. 

It must have been back in Oceania days. We played NZ very often at youth level seemingly having quarterly matches. It was always on sbs. 

Same, wish we played more games with the New Zealand national teams in general.

I’d love to see some AUS v NZ friendlies organised at U20 and U23 level. 

I agree mate, we need to be giving players an opportunity in a national youth team. Players like Marafioti and others deserve their chance, there is an 18 year old starting for Pascoe Vale every week, would be good to see him given an opportunity considering the thread bare options past Folami in the Young Socceroos. We really need to make our youth national team camps bigger and encourage more players to keep trying, as I am sure it is so easy to get discouraged and give up if you feel like you are going nowhere.

I never said we lack in talent but i just think the Kiwis right now could beat us on their good day, i think we under underestimated the talent they have.

Some of these guys like Just, Bell, Pijaker would good enough to play in the a-league.

No disrespect to our lads but as much i rate some of these guys, but in the last 10 to 15 years or so we have struggled to make win a game let alone do what the Kiwis have done which is make the 2nd round and get very close to a quarter or potential semi-final based on who they are up against later.
(Last time we won a game was in 2003 against the might of Brazil).

We have struggled in Asia for a reason and have not done enough to rectify these problems, of course, an easier route to the world cup helps but when we got there the kiwis have the runs on the board in recent times with results.

We need to do alot better but i have my doubts if anything is done about it.
