George Timotheou came on as a 63rd-min. sub for Schalke in their Antonio Puerta Trophy win over Sevilla at the Pizjuán. He's 21yo, begging the question did Arnie even think to call him up for the Olyroos??

finally good to hear a couple players being linked with moves o/s.

Mabil to Besiktas could be either brilliant or terrible. Canadian Intl, Cyle Larin went there from the MLS and hasn't really done much...

Piscopo being linked with Serie B clubs is exactly what he needs, Renate look like they will go down so that would be great for him!

On George Timotheou, if he can somehow make the Matchday squad for Schalke's first team, when it isn't the international break, then questions should be asked about his Olyroos or Socceroos selection, he is playing fifth tier football for the Schalke reserves at the moment but this is obviously a very good sign! 

Graham Arnold is Timotheou's ex coach, who released him to the NPL, i dunno if they left on good terms,  but If i was him I wouldn't wanna play under him.

One of these commentators on the couch on Optus Sports just chose Maty Ryan as his fantasy team GK. Big raps

That says it all, alongside not calling up any of Antonis, Troisi or Deng, who handed his arse to him in that semi final, there can be no doubt that Arnie lets his grudges get in the way of squad selection.

It says you have an agenda against Arnie.

Arnie called up and gave Deng his debut just before the Asian cup too.

Most people wouldn't have called up Troisi and Antoinis for the Asian Cup anyway.

Burgess started

Jeggo's playing against Zenit St Petersburg, good chance on goal but keeper saved

An update for those interested in Noah's development here in Germany.

A lot has happend over the month of March.
I can't discuss anything as yet but here is a video of Noah's better saves.

So until I'm in a position to discuss things further I won't be posting any updates for the next few months.

Good luck with it all volkira, I hope everything is okay on your end.

insanely good for a 9 year old. I watch a lot of U9/10s football in Melbourne West and I've never seen a keeper that good. 

Wish you all the best

Love your updates Volkira. Looking forward to seeing more when things are sorted.

Since you guys have been so supportive here is the U11 Crystal Palace FC  vs SV Wehen Wiesbaden game.
It's on a private link so you wont be able to find it online.

Noah makes a  costly mistake  but he told me he lost sight of the ball as the big Palace player moved in front of him.
But he makes up for it later.
Both keepers were actually U10.The Palace U11 keeper was ill so the U10 Keeper filled in for him.

Outstanding

I'm sure Piscopo is getting a decent apprenticeship at Renate but it is Serie C. I think we'll need to be patient like with Ikon and should see him hit it in about 3 years rather than 1.

I reckon CFG might put in a cheeky offer for Piscopo and look to on-sell him like Arzani.

ikons stats in the a league aren't far of mooy

he probably could go to a promotion chasing seri b side and get them promoted

Piscopo is far better off staying in the Italian system than coming back to Australia. First of all Serie C is the same level as the A-league, but with far more intensity and training. He could make the jump up to Serie B in one season and possibly find himself in the Serie A before he's 25. 

If he comes back to Australia, he'd receive half-assed training and the longest off-season in the world. 

it's almost impossible to make it into a serie A team as a young player nowadays not many young talents head there anymore 

Garruccio's season over after doing his ACL https://twitter.com/Bengaruccio/status/1111369169017147395?s=19

True on the training part. Italy hoards players in big squads with those massive benches. A lot of good players still don't play. It can be very hard to get ahead. If he is to progress he needs to secure a move where he will get minutes. 

Yokohama on in an hour. 

0:0 home draw for Ange. 

Jovanovic started for Jeju.

I watched the match against a ultra defensive Sagan Tosu. First half wasn't much action but Marinos hit the cross bar twice in the second. Take the point but two points dropped I think. 

Starts for Milligan, Degenek, McGing, Karacic, Beadling

Good news. Glad for McGing. His club are in a bit of trouble this season but did very well last season if I recall correctly. Beadling is another centre back who'll one day probably get his 1 Roos cap. We've had so many over the years.

The A-League didn't do too bad for Mooy & Ikon.

Shhh, and Rogic Leckie arzani etc. 

Yeah he had a great run of form at RB last season.

Wisla Plock's other RB Cezary Stefańczyk is actually serving a long term ban for raising his hand at the ref when disputing a decision so McGing has next to no chance of getting dropped.
