Enough already....

Brattan was beast last night....didn't see much of Genreau....Brisbane was tired and worn out see how/if he gets a run against a spritely Sydney! Don't go wishing a 16 year old's career away ever heard of 'peaking' too early wouldn't want that to happen!

Shahanga, mate you're dead right! The aussies actually have it pretty easy compared to our European counterparts. They've got the A-League to fall back on, not so lucky overseas. That other kid who went to Liverpool, I see he's on his way back as well. http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2017/02/03/exclusive-australian-whiz-kid-brimmer-be-axed-liverpool The crop of footballer's in Europe is prestige to what we have here. Spent a few years overseas and it ain't easy and making a living off football is even harder!...unless you're playing first team, a starter and in high demand. For example the two highest paying teams in Spain for example, Barcelona and Real Madrid and possibly Villarreal and Valencia pay big bucks to the big names, the other 16 teams either pay very very poorly or don't even pay their players. Football is one hell of a tough business.

...too funny!

we need to see how he would go against a 'fresh' Sydney not a 'tired' Brisbane before blowing any trumpets! are you serious? seems most young kids from oz that head overseas make a pretty quick return journey eg: Daniel De Silva. It's a lot tougher in Europe believe you me than little ol' down under - especially when we have 16 years old's playng A-League

Here's another article on the MC boy's selected for the YS camp.....the article I posted yesterday mentioned only 5 MC boys...this article mentions 6....Joshua Cavallo for MC. He is former MV correct? Not sure of any others though http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/article/squad-announced-for-young-socceroos-camp/1mlsf21aq4r5i10o2v3lz5x5mv 1. Nathaniel Atkinson 2. Joshua Cavallo 3. James Delianov 4. Dennis Genreau 5. Connor Metcalfe 6. Gerrie Sylaidos

Well done boys...Melbourne City FC will have five of its Championship-winning NYL side in the Young Socceroos training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport as the side prepares for the AFC U-19 Championship 2018 Qualifiers. Goalkeeper James Delianov, midfielder Nathaniel Atkinson, midfielders Connor Metcalfe and Denis Genreau as well as forward Gerrie Sylaidos have been named in Young Socceroos Head Coach Ufuk Talay’s squad to travel to Canberra. http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/international-city-five-selected-for-young-socceroos-camp/1ay7qjb0ewbnk1nu0b60a2kx99

Overrated hog...how many attempts to dribble through players only to lose the ball when he clearly had better options! Pass the ball more, release it earlier, would be an improvement...IMHO

Very entertaining game. Both teams did well considering the heat. MC dominated from start to finish. Had to turn the volume down though, commentators 'overly' biased in who they wanted to ramp. Must have said Azarni's name a thousand times....seems they forgot about the other 10 players in the team!!! Wish ALL the boys the best in their future endeavours
