“We’ve had so many great footballers that have left the country because they’ve had to earn a living elsewhere to fulfil their dreams – Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, Timmy Cahill, (Mark) Schwarzer, all these guys – and this generation is going to be the next.”
His feedback got here sizzling on the heels of former Socceroos supervisor Ange Postecoglou’s declaration that soccer would by no means develop into a mainstream sport in Australia.
However, Arnold remained hopeful that soccer might be “reinvigorated”, significantly if Australia was awarded internet hosting rights to the 2034 FIFA World Cup forward of the AFC’s most well-liked candidate, Saudi Arabia.
“It would help the sport enormously to have a World Cup in Australia,” he stated.
“We showed (at this year Women’s World Cup) that we’re great hosts. There’s a lot of work to do, but I do think with the generation of kids coming through, we can reinvigorate the sport.”
