Now show us the money, says Arnold

COACH Graham Arnold made an impassioned plea to the Australian government for money and “a home.”

The 59-year-old Arnold hopes this Australian team will inspire a future generation.

But he also said the government needs to do more if the Socceroos are to perform well again at future World Cups, starting with investment.

“We need to spend money and get help from the government to put money into the game and help develop kids.”

Arnold also wants somewhere that can be a centre for Australian football.

“The government need to build us a house,” he said. “We need a home, something that the government can help fund for the development of the national team and the good of Australian football.”
