Graham Arnold has delivered a withering verdict on the prime minister and other politicians who he believes are happy to wear Matildas and Socceroos scarves but still won't fund Australian soccer.
The national men's team coach chose his eve-of-match address before the prestige England international at Wembley Stadium to tell his international audience about what he believes is the severe under-funding of the sport back home, compared with AFL.
Saying Australian soccer still had nowhere to call its home, he also reckoned his old friend Ange Postecoglou, who's flying high as Tottenham boss, had a point when suggesting in an interview earlier this week that soccer will never become mainstream back home.
