Now it seems everyone agrees with me.
Just the stupid people agree with you. I'll keep it short.
- Australia is barely a country let alone a legitimate soccer power
- Substituting the Australian NT for the USWNT is like substituting the Sixers for the Cavs
- Substituting the Newcastle Jets for your high school boys team is like substituting the Cavs for the local YMCA rec-league team
- The Australian NT was missing about half their starters and were experimenting with player combinations and positions
But, yeah, I guess you are right because there was a story on the internet.
Your third point is a ridiculously stupid exaggeration. The difference in quality between the Jets U15 side and a quality hs team is nowhere near as vast as between a rec league team and the Cavs.
The team is a u15 development squad for an Australian A League side. It's probably similar in quality to a good U15 club/travel team in the US. And when you consider this is largely kids younger than high schoolers, it's probably equivalent to a quality high school team.
