Graham Arnold has once again shown his ineptness when it comes to coaching Australian football teams. This time he has decided to pick a controversial Olyroos squad for the upcoming Beijing Olympics.
It’s not about who he picked, but who he didn’t pick. He’s left out Nathan Burns and Bruce Djite. If these boys are [...]

This week we were shocked by the news that Jose Mourinho has left Chelsea. This to me is a very sad story, and the ’special one’ as he prefers to be called has been short changed by a brainless billionaire.

Over on the Dutch blog I noticed an article written by Johan Cruyff on his official site.
Johan applauds the Aussie mentality and spirit at the World Cup and believes some of the bigger teams lacked this, in particular Brazil.

It has been known for a long time now that Gerard Houllier is at the top of the FFA’s list of managers to take over the Australian head coaching role.
