I ran it through Google Translate, Identify Language. It said Cultured Australian. Contradiction in terms but I suppose I have to believe it.

I was once sitting outside the Half Moon in Herne hill. Minding my own business and enjoying a pint. When I was accosted by a young Australian gentleman. “Do you know the way to Loggie Ber Roggi mate?”
This was before the age of smart phones and translators and so I had to use my own internal translating capacities to quickly ascertain that he was looking for Loughborough Junction.

@SydneyChelsea on his gap year trip, no doubt.

I was on a train once with several elderly Americans in the coach. They were looking at a map as they passed through places, talking about where they were going. Apparently we went near morricambi (morecambe) on the way to Edinborrow (Edinburgh) passing near carlisly (Carlisle). Oh how we laughed.

Picture yourself in a coach full of elderly Americans in America asking whether Intercourse, PA is worth a try.

Snuggle up at the quilt museum in Intercourse. It is an Amish town. The film "Witness" was shot there.

Witness gave us Harrison Ford's best tortured look of his career.

Coming this summer.

He's on the level of Estevao imo

Looks like he played a large part of the game LW. Took the first goal well. Later on, and for his second goal, was on the RW which I think is his preferred position?

Either way, looks a great player - seems to always have time. Could you imagine if we actually got Estevao and Quenda performing!

It is u-21.

Best thing about those highlights is hes willing to play the first time simple pass at times, always looking to advance the ball, not always looking to do a hundred step overs and beat 3 mean...twice, then lose it. Seems to pick out passes really well, is very calm in possession, then can turn it on when needed.

Just glad hes coming this season when the clown has gone as he would have took all that out of his game and had him just playing simple balls backwards 90% of the time.

Is the main reason he's not been picked to play in the World Cup due to Martinez being his usual clueless self or is there more to it?

Martinez is one of the biggest frauds in international football coaching.. ruined a generation of footballers that had Thibo courtois, KDB, Kompany Hazard and lukaku plus probably a few others .. them not winning a single trophy is criminal like the terry lampa Rooney generation..

He excelled at Wigan and maybe for a bit at Swansea .

It’s remarkable the jobs he’s managed to get since.

Its amazing how he fallen upwards, hes like the useless workmate you have that you keep telling to apply for other jobs to get rid of him, only he keeps getting the job 😅

Great news for us that he looks so confident playing on the left.

Palmer, Estevao, Quenda and Mudryk are 4 good options going forward.
