Does live comedy get any better than this?
BTW Mario mate...what was the name of that girl you dated for years when you were a kid. Believe she lived in Harcourt Pde? @MarioFenech
..."have always valued engaging with supporters and understanding their perspective"...
So how come you don't let supporters make a comment here or any of your posts? (Only some accounts can reply)~
I started in football as a fan and, throughout my career as an administrator, have always valued engaging with supporters and understanding their perspective.
Proud now to be elected to the committee of an ambitious @FSAAustralia and to help strengthen the voice of fans across our game. ⚽️

Gave Bayern the heads up on Irankunda in 2022! nitter.cf/AriBrisbane/status/151…
So good to see the well-deserved hype around Nestory Irankunda. In 2024, we identified him as one of six players with the potential to drive the Socceroos brand forward, but many argued we needed to slow down and limit his profile. There were questions about whether the hype had come too soon. We reached for the sky. He’s now answering them emphatically. This kid is unstoppable #forevergolden
Fascinating story that need to be told.
Reckon you should t-up and interview @TonyTannousTRBA @SBSSportau
Winning the Asian Cup is a most respectable achievement. However, given Australia’s standing as Asia’s highest finisher at the WC, perhaps the more telling measure of progress lies beyond our confederation. The true test, after all, is competing amongst football’s global elite.
"You've got to make football free in this country."
Former Socceroo and 10 Football expert Erik Paartalu says there needs to be changes from the top down in Australian football to see our national teams flourish.
Including making the sport cheaper to play at grassroots to unearth gems from "all walks of life" - do you agree?

One of Australia's greatest Innovators...also happened to ride a Surfboard and play football in his youth!
Anyone for Egyptian-style breakfast? 🫘🍅
"Foul mudammas" on the table for Egypt vs Australia Saturday… inshallah after the Socceroos get the job done 🇦🇺⚽🇪🇬
#Egypt #FoulMudammas #BreakfastOfChampions #WorldCup #Socceroos
Queensland wants to call itself the "Events Capital"... so where’s the purpose-built football stadium? At some point, slogans need infrastructure behind them!
The Einstein of modern football. Bielsa's ideas did not merely change the game...it became the question that others answered. He did not seek to finish thought, only to begin it! 🧠 ⚽ ⏳
Exactly what we need...kids dreaming of wearing the green and gold like Lucas Herrington. He's the first Socceroo from a grrowing generation that grew up watching the Socceroos at every World Cup. The genie is out of the bottle..the future of Oz football has never looked brighter
“I’ve been dreaming of it since I was a kid.” 💚💛
18-year-old Lucas Herrington reacts to his #FIFAWorldCup debut - and becoming the youngest ever #Socceroos player to start at a World Cup 👏
Just qualifying Iraq for a World Cup would be a remarkable coaching achievement. But the real reward goes beyond football. Experiences like this shape you, and those memories will stay on the very top shelf for the rest of his life.
The reaction of the Ecuador fans after beating Germany is priceless...especially the bloke trying to recreate Diego Simeone's celebration while surrounded by his family 😂

How fast are you going to run? As fast as a leopard! Then let's see you do it! Are you ready leopard?”
Best of luck in the match! 🇦🇺 🫡

Pauline Hanson must have failed science at school because she thinks a monoculture is something that grows in a Petri dish.
Football is multicultural.
We believe that all Aussies should respect their ancestral backgrounds, while being wholly committed to Australia.
As the Socceroos said:
‘Many backgrounds. Shared purpose.’
That does not mean, nor has ever meant one culture, but many cultures in the same game, same country, with shared identity as Aussies.
Any attempts to argue otherwise, or misappropriate our history of the game which has always reflected Australia’s cultural makeup, from our British roots to our immigration story (and sadly not yet fully our ancient history), are opportunistic and misconceived.
In football, like in Australia, we celebrate our many backgrounds while uniting as Aussies.
In our clubs, our players, our game, our national teams.
The new doco ‘Wogball’ explains how the game helped integrate many communities over more than a century, and created the Socceroos team, and country, we see today.
Our crowds are proudly multicultural. Our players are proudly multicultural. Our clubs are proudly multicultural. And the National Teams are proudly multicultural.
And all equally Australian.
Many backgrounds. One purpose.
Anything else is an insult to football.
And the @Socceroos
France 2–0 Iraq 🇫🇷🇮🇶
And easily one of the comments of the World Cup @SBSSportau ..
“We heard ‘Halfway There’ during the extended break… France must now feeling halfway there… but Iraq must be living on a prayer.” 🎶😂⚽️
