Why is that a country with a population less than Sydney can consistently make it past World Cup group stages while we just struggle to qualify? One of the reasons is a lower potential talent pool that is being shrunk because of the high and ever increasing costs.

Also it's BS that all clubs must pay their SAP coaches $1,500 as mandated by NNSWF.

Aus has a small talent pool to choose from because we have other higher profile sports taking players. Never assume we have 25 mill in the pool. More like 5 mill at best and we are punching above that weight. Btw what do Uruguay/iceland do to get top players.

SAP suggested the $1500 for coaches which is assuming that these new 1000's of coaches needed to all get their C licence lol. At which the ffa cant even agree on the best way to coach juniors as the course and content is changing again. Then an update is still needed every 4/5 yrs. I think they are trying to go too large too quick.

Oh and the coaches do so much for what they get. Ive heard they rego concession at most clubs.
