He was a good player, but as a media commentator he drives me absolutely nuts.Foster is your typical sports commentator who flips and flops depending on results. Post France Australia was terrible and Arnold had to go. Post Tunisia, Australia can win the World Cup. The commentator that has impressed me the most is Harry Kewell. His commentary was bang on BEFORE both Socceroos games, both played out exactly per his commentary.
Regarding trying to attract talent, they are all fair game and open to all sports. From memory, players like Marc Murphy were lured out of cricket and Pendlebury was lured out of other Basketball at AIS level, so I don't think its fair to single any one sport out for doing this over any other.
Thing is, these sports can be played concurrently, whilst at junior level the AFL and Soccer seasons run at the same time, so they have to make a choice as a child which is where that conversation probably comes from.
Thing is, the point is valid. The better athletes here don't play soccer. Thats probably where he was coming from, and thats about the end of that conversation.
