nice tactical analysis of our dominant win yesterday
It was a great start for the Young Socceroos in their U20 Asian Cup campaign in China.

They were set up in an attacking structure from their 4-1-3-2 base, which was quite fluid and always changing depending on the phase of play.

🚨New pod🚨
We begin with our thoughts on our latest South Melbourne episode before turning our attention to Auckland FC’s impressive A-League debut. With strong crowds and standout performances, why is this expansion team thriving while others struggle? 1/3

Irankunda injured after an electric first half hour. Didn't look serious as he walked off looking unencumbered, so hopefully just a knock

That Caceres pass for the first goal, wow.

Much, much harder than it looks.

Really good pod from the @greenandgoldfc.bsky.social team.

Whether you have agreed with the SMFC boys or not in the past, they make some really great & measured comments and seem to genuinely just want the best for the game in this country.

Well worth a listen.

Everyone is rightly talking about the banger goal from Henry Hore, but that's also a banger assist from Jelacic. Link below

Irankunda with an electric run down the left flank, ending with a classy reverse pass into the penalty box for an assist to level it for grasshopper

No sign of Liam Chipperfield for the second match in a row as Fotmob has him out for a few weeks with a knock

In the A-League era, just three other players made more ALM appearances before turning 17 - Irankunda (21 appearances), M Toure (19) and Italiano (16). None of these three made Asian league appearances like Eames has. Eames could get 4 more appearances (incl 2 ALM) as a 16 yr old

The A league is giving more minutes to youth and it is interesting to break down the number of players by birth year
2002 -16
2003 - 19
2004 - 26
2005 - 19
2006 - 14
2007 - 6
2008 - 2
I would expect 2002 to dominate, followed by 2003 etc. This tells me our youth development hasn't peaked yet.
February 2, 2025 at 8:35 AM
At just 16 years of age Haine Eames gets a full 90 and plays his 13th match of the season, 16th in all competitions. @andyhowe-statto.bsky.social What is the record for a 16 year old in the A league?

Cameron Peupion leaves Brighton!

Thought he would’ve gone to a higher level but let’s see how he goes playing week in week out and if he can fulfil his potential.

Hope it all goes well for him. Look forward to following his journey.
