Yeah Altair as long as it’s not City or PSG. I’m with ya on that one lol

That Hiddink guy you mentioned is a brilliant coach. He came over here to Australia some years back to manage our Socceroos team and did an amazing job with them. He took them much further than they have ever gone. It’s a pity he couldn’t stay because the team has gone back to being useless.

Do you know where he is these days. Haven’t heard about him for Yonkers.

I’m not sure: Australia reached the round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup and played quite well, which is as far as the Hiddink team reached in 2006. They just weren’t as ‘entertaining’ though.

True SirN. Yep it was the first time we reached the last 16 having Hiddink as coach and the last team we had to play were the Italians, which as we know were diving left right and centre and the Ref kept penalising the Aussies. At the time I thought, this Ref is acting really biased towards us and letting the Italians off with everything. There was a huge commotion about it after the game and for weeks after. It was just so blatant. Aussies were gutted!

Anyway, fast forward a few years later and the said Ref was charged with taking money to alter the game! Can’t remember the details tho.

That’s why I often wonder if it’s going on in PL when you see this kind of biased. Wouldn’t be surprised tho. Cos just about everything out there in this world is corrupt imo.
