Bloody hell Ali 😂

[@anelkaisgood2]

19:47 Reporter: ‘Who’s your friend Sonny?’ Son: Tolgay Arslan Reporter: ‘No idea who that is, why did I ask….’ *Son and Arslan (Melb City’s new signing last season) played at Hamburg together in Germany for 3 seasons Son was there in 2010-2013. They must have formed a great friendship during that time for Son to call him one of his best friends there. Son speaks fluent German as well for the 5 years he played and lived in Germany early in his career. Would be fascinating indeed for them to have this reunion here randomly in Melbourne😌*

No brainer. Off course, he's proud to be Greek. It's a country with a 4,000 years plus history, which created democracy, created historical events, developed the myths and the arts, created philosophy, founded the first hospital in Europe, and made medical history, started the Olympic games, mastered the military arts, etc... Compare that to 248 years of Australian history. Case closed.

Y a friendly just after season.. rest the players need then pre season to get fit. Waste of money

[@rioribeiro6737]

So its ok to scout out players from all over the world to play in prem/ european leagues etc but its not ok to give back a little to the supporters who live outside Europe who have some connection with the team/ club and don't get the opportunity to travel and watch the team they support. Football is a global sport. These footballers are young, full of energy, professional athletes. They can handle a long flight and hour difference. It won't kill them. They will get their chance to rest, recuperate and fire up their engines for next season. No one said it was easy to get paid millions of dollars but atleast they getting paid for doing what they love and thats to play football.
