Socceroos preparing to take on England in friendly on FridayAfter training at Wembley: ‘We don’t have a home of football’
On the eve of Australia’s first match at Wembley, their manager Graham Arnold has sided with Ange Postecoglou in delivering a damning verdict on the lack of funding for football in the country despite the successful performances in both the men’s 2022 World Cup and the recent home Women’s World Cup.
Tottenham’s manager Postecoglou, who led the Socceroos for four years from 2013, talked this week of how there wouldn’t be “an influx of resources to the game”, despite the “unbelievable” effort of the Matildas. Australia’s men trained for Friday night’s friendly with England under the Wembley arch but Arnold stressed that home conditions were a far cry from the facilities abroad.
