Australian Players have spoken out, on and off the pitch...

Following the win over Thailand and advancing to the next stage of the ASIAN CUP Members of the Socceroos have given the media some interesting interviews.
I am sure that what I am saying is something that European, UK and Sth American football followers are all aware of but for Australians Football/Soccer has only recently finally reached the level of public interest that you take for granted on the sport. The Media report an incredible amount of spurious nonsence on teams, players, coaches and so forth when games of interest are happening. I can only presume that the mythical stories are invented to attract the interest of the people who have no interest in the games so need the BIG BROTHER/SOAP OPERA TV type of drama on the sport to attract their attention.
The experience of Australian footballers playing in the UK, European Football teams has been of great benefit in the increased ability of the players. What is also gained is the players with this experience knowing how to treat the media myths touted on dissention and feuds in the national team. In the aftermath of the win against Thailand team captain Mark Viduka spoke about nothing but playing the game and Harry Kewel delivered the subtle reposte to the media regarding the myths that had been reported as news on the Australian Team.
JAPAN this is the only match that matters now who is going to win it I have no idea at the minute. Not even thinking about it at this stage, no doubt i want the Socceroos to win but I will wait until it is time to be played before considering this game. For now the final group games of the ASIAN CUP are interesting enough to see who makes it through from group C and D.
LIVERPOOL - ROBBIE FOWLER After his flying three day visit to Australia for talks with the Sydney FC about playing for them in the national league season it is reported that Robbie is not accepting the offer made. Again the media have managed to itrritate me with a subtle snide inference to the amount Robbie wanted to play for Sydney FC. Reportedly $50,0000 plus bonuses apparently this was twice what Sydney FC were willing to offer him. I have my doubts about this as I am sure that the club would not be that far off the mark in their offer to entice him to play for them. Then again I could be wrong and will wait until I hear or read confirmation of the deal details from an official club representative.
