That is a brilliant saying. I remember when I was really young (6/7) when we played football (soccer...) everyone played as a striker; there were even no goalkeepers (or 'goldies'). They'd be about 20 kids playing and only two or three of them had actually watched a game!

I had terrible reaction time and hand eye coordination till I was about 15! So I never played sports much.

Yeah, when we are kids all we want to do is score. When we sign up to football academies we all want to be strikers or adavanced midfielders. If it does not work out you keep moving down until you end up being a centre-back or goalkeeper.

I was always into sports though, I am not very good but I like it and I dont care what other people think.

What attributes do Brazillian academies encourage?

Popular Australian sports have always leaned more towards Aussie Rules football and the Rugby codes. Those games are much more physical and rough than football. One of the main aspects of Aussie Rules is using other players (oppposing and team mates) as launch pads to get catch the ball easier. And you can see the influence come through in our players. You can't really list too many Aussie players with flair of technical ability but you could list dozens with amazing physical presence and work rate. Timmy Cahill, Lucas Neil, Mark Viduka, Brett Emerton, Craig Moore, Luke Wilkshire, etc.

And even though a lot of players selected have never even played club football in the same countries the team's chemistry always seem to be very high. Unlike countries like England and Netherlands where all the players seem to hate eachother.

Would you rather 40' heat? Well at least we can have a few drinks in a pool. Night swimming and alcohol, what could go wrong?
