Brisbane Roar are now equal with Newcastle Jets for the worst result by an A-League club in the Asian Champions League after conceding six goals against Ulsan FC. But Western Sydney Wanderers weren’t far behind after going down 5-1 to Shanghai SIPG. Fox Sports’ Mark Rudan labelled it as “the darkest day in Australian club football,” while Mark Bosnich said the “embarrassing” results would hurt Australia’s football brand around the world.
quote:
“When this goes around the world they’re going to go, ‘What’s going on with the A-League?’” Bosnich said. Brisbane conceded three goals in the first half and then three in the second period. Hulk scored within three minutes before Oscar doubled the lead. Mitch Nichols hit back but that just saw Shanghai add more. Bosnich added: “A lot of them did not look like they wanted to be out there. “This is the end result of everything we’ve been talking over the last three years. “This is Australian football’s brand ... We’re going backwards.”
quote:
Rudan recalled how Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou said Australia “as a footballing nation have lost respect in Europe”. “Gone is the golden generation ... opposed to other [South East Asia] countries who have elevated.” Bosnich added: “We should be ringing up Gianni Infantino [FIFA president] and thanking him for expanding the World Cup, because this is where it’s going.”

This feels like a TN Bhoy thread because no one will read it, respond, or care.
The only difference is that it is about Australia, not Rangers.

Does anyone else remember that "A-League > MLS" editorial from a few years back?

if given the choice between reading an article about australian football or the local girls high school basketball team written by our shitty local sports columnist, i'd go with the girls basketball team. that's how hard i didn't read this article.
