@Jacob01Aus But but Boyle plays in Scotland which is a much much higher standard than the Zzzz-League

If he’s not in the WC squad it’s a joke. Boyle has done nothing for Australia for half a decade.

Btw, my model ranks Younis as the best Forward (Ws + AMs) in the A-League 25/26 season. Think that’s a pretty good litmus test for its functionality.

@VinceRugari The AFL beating the A-League to pro-rel would be a nightmare scenario. It'd mean Australian football squibbed its biggest opportunity.

Spotted: Rare bit of @aleaguemen exposure on mainstream television this morning, albeit promoting the Sydney Super Cup

@scout_aussie "He's the best defender in Australian football. He has the highest ceiling of anyone.” - Ruben Zadkovic, 2024.
He called it. Could turn out to be Australia's version of Harry Redknapp's famous quote about Lampard.
English
Tony Popović clarified today that Lucas Herrington (2007) is not only an option for the future but also an option for the World Cup.
Herrington is a tremendously talented player who has the tools to not only be a long-term Socceroo but to play in the world's biggest leagues.
English
@ALeagueHQ @marcothejourno Another Trewin case in the making. City will develop him further and then sell him to NYC for a tidy sum. Why do @brisbaneroar struggle to keep hold of promising youngsters?

🚨🇦🇺BREAKING: Melbourne City is set to swoop on Quinn MacNicol (18)!
The deal to bring MacNicol to City from Brisbane Roar next season is all but done. 💙⚡️

@scout_aussie The key is where they go. If they go to a big club/league they don't work out. Toure and Herrington went to Denmark and MLS which is a better more gradual step. Irankunda wasn't getting any game time at Bayern, but the move to Watford has been much better.
English
The players who have left the A-League at 16-18 and found success or longevity overseas include Irankunda, Herrington and Touré - all who are physically talented, and in the case of the first two, dominated at A-League level before departing.
English
History shows that A-League players who leave overseas at 16-18, without either having eminent physical talents or having dominated at A-League level, struggle to find their feet at their new club and their career is consequently set back.

@MattyWindley Side note, despite the dearth of mainstream coverage - I feel like there's more quality Oz football content than ever, especially with the launch of @football360au. After years of scrounging around for the odd article or podcast, I'm finding it hard to keep up with it all!
English
@MattyWindley Thanks Matt! Big fan of your work and enjoyed reading your responses. Looking forward to the next ep of Breaking Barriers and will be getting stuck into the Building Blocks podcast soon.

@StefanMauk Probably one of the best defenders in the Eredivisie. First defender to win the Eredivisie POTM award since 2021

@ncfc024 This isn't the burn you think it is. I doubt that guy's an A-League fan. His bio has AC Milan in it. In Australia we have what we call 'Eurosnobs' who think any league outside the big 4 is trash, including our local league which many football 'fans' down under love to trash
English
@dkfcdotnet @NicR1999_ Yeah surely A-League standards haven't dropped so much that fans are impressed with signings from 3.Liga. If he does well, it might reflect poorly on the A-League.
English
@NicR1999_ You reckon? Coming from the third tier in Germany doesn’t feel that impressive to me, but I hope you’re right and he kills it.
English
Looks like a pretty impressive signing ngl

@oneeyedvictory @ForeverMelbCity @AleagueSnob @DanielGarb @suitedbootedtv Which was fair. Diamanti's a great player and personality, but not a big name. Foxtel's $3 million marquee fund was reserved for players that would boost crowds and tv ratings like Del Piero and Cahill. Victory could've signed him themselves instead of expecting a handout.
English
@ForeverMelbCity @AleagueSnob @DanielGarb @suitedbootedtv The league blocked Diamanti from going to Victory as well, stating he was not eligible for the ‘Tim Cahill Rule’….
English
@DanielGarb recounts how Frank Lampard’s move to Melbourne City in 2014 was blocked by the league and other clubs.
Lampard: “The deal was done.”
Another own goal by the league.
🎥 @suitedbootedtv
English
@Ryan_NewZealand Agreed. Probably best to just let others discover it for themselves. And if they wanna have a go at you for enjoying it then that's their problem.
English
@AltBaller Its a fair point but I don't think it's necessarily my role as a fan to always be doing the hard sell.
I will promote the A-league to the death but if someone is going to try debate the quality of the football then what's the point? They clearly have a shallow view of football
English
Genuinely feel bad for the euro snobs who refuse to watch the A-League.
Missing out on absolute cinema

So with 11 Rounds to go: - Entire league separated by 12 pts. - 2nd-10th just 6 pts. - Jets (1st) have lost the same number of games as Nix (10th) and still have the 2nd highest amount of goals conceded. Viva A-Liga
English
@StanSportFC Without doubt. One of the best players in the Eredivisie. Can't remember the last time an Aussie was a dominant player in a top European league

Jordan Bos has SERIOUS pace 💨
Should the Feyenoord left-back be a starter for the Socceroos at the World Cup?

@aleaguemen When they face off in 2029, it'll be in the Old Firm Derby. Nestory's Celtic vs Farrell's Rangers.
English
No way 😭😆 We got a new instalment of Irankunda v Farrell in the Championship!
81’: Nestory gets subbed on for Watford ➡️ Two minutes later: Portsmouth turn to Jacob Farrell for his injury return! You couldn’t make it up.
A full circle moment from the A-Leagues in a 1-1 draw this morning - where Adrian Segecic scored Pompey’s only goal 👏
