It’s not that Sydney aren’t worth watching without Terry McFlynn or because he’s my favourite Sydney FC player and you can’t read anything into the fact I haven’t watched them since round 4 when he was injured (how many games did they lose while he was out?) and now he’s back I’m watching again ... but isn’t he fantastic!

Australia fails at this level

01/10/2009: Australia's latest generation failed to have an impact at this tournament despite playing some good football, going down 1-2 to the Czech Republic, 0-3 to Costa Rica, and 1-3 to Brasil finishing bottom of their group. Some observers suggest that this is the end result of lack of top level youth competition over the past few years, while others say it is the result of changing the approach to the game for the long term good. For fans though it is always dissapointing.
