unfortunately we are so remedial in our football knowledge we need something centralized like the ntc
I liken this to how central planning in china is getting its economy on its feet but at a certain point the central nature of it will be a detriment and it will have to move to a mixed economy with a real democracy or stagnate.
As long as our youth continue to improve I support the ntc mind you
The last few world cups at u20 our for and against was
Did not qualify
For: 2 against 8
For: 4 against: 9
For: 3 against: 5
The last series of friendlies in the usa was impressive too
Also a league graduates are going straight into good 2nd teir leagues with no apprenticeship
I'm happy to have retired from football coaching with geriatric aches and pains. There is a new generation of coaches in this state, some current NPL players, under the tutelage of the excellent FFT's head SAP coach , Anthony Alexander (he sometimes reads this section). They are involved with elite juniors/ youth and further down.
These guys are right into the FFA NC and want to see football played like Roar, AU and MV.:)
