Barca has posted this elsewhere.

This issue again demonstrates to me the blatant ignorance of people in Australia with a very limited football background repudiating a model based on world's best practice.

This question constantly arises in Australia. Why do so many in Australia who come from a background devoid of European football knowledge, think they are so correct in repudiating it? They just don't seem to see the big picture.](*,)

We are hardly renowned as a football nation producing world class players prior to 2015, yet some seem to think they know better than the likes of Abrams, Berger, Baan, all conversant with exemplary football practice in Europe.](*,)

I will add, that the by in on the National Curriculum at grassroots level is patchy, I know my club has bought into it and we are now developing a club style based on it, so that right from u6 to eventually Premier League (I assume) we will play in the same style.

I know one of the larger clubs in our area has bought into it and are doing the same thing, having a style through out the club but based on the National Curriculum.

But the largest club in our area, is the opposite pays lip service but ignores the purpose


It is of great concern that this happens at all.

It is not as if there is a massive reservoir of football knowledge out there in Australia, that is comparable to the knowledgeable minds in football who developed the FFA NC based on world's best practice.
