If you’re an Australian and a lover of the round ball game, you’d be dirty — no, spitting chips — over how Australia, ten years ago, let a national treasure and soccer super coach walk out the door.
Remember that numerous sources claim Postecoglou may not even keep his job at Tottenham despite the Europa Cup win. They're 17th, and some years their anemic points total might have meant relegation.
Of course, injuries and other problems figure into the equation, but you must realize that some pundits will argue that the injury epidemic developed "because he drove his players too hard." Others will find fault on other fronts.
At the end of the day, though, it was a stupendous result, and it was NOT a fluke. Tottenham finished fourth in the regular Europa League play, a mere two points behind first-place Lazio. I suspect that Postecoglou shrewdly put all his eggs in the Europa League basket, and the gamble paid off in the long run.
lol. very calm Baz maybe you should appreciate what the loss of national greatness can do the development abd advancement of a sport.

Well done Spurs!
Calm down George - it’s a game played by overpaid blokes for entertainment and capitalism. 😉
