I see that. I don't know...we tried a European coach (Jurgen Klinsman) for 8 years and it was a disaster. I'm kind of aiming for an American coach this time. But then...who knows? I just want a GOOD coach. Not asking for too much.

Fair enough I tried an couple of international coaches for Aussie Cricket and Rugby Teams an few years ago and they didn't work either.

We have some great games coming up! One in your backyard.

Who do you want the coach to be? Is Big Soccer talking about this? Any favorites?

Today’s the day that I’m officially hanging up my boots on my international career with the Socceroos.
No words can describe what it has meant to represent my country. It took a while to play my first game for Australia, and I promised myself then that I would never miss a beat and would make the most of every opportunity I was given to wear the badge and jersey.
As a kid all I wanted to do was to represent my country and so many of my most memorable moments as a footballer have come whilst playing for Australia, and I will be forever grateful for that. It's been a dream come true, and I have so many great memories from the last 15 years with the coaches, support staff and the army of Aussie fans behind us.
My mentality has always been that I would treat every game like it was going to be my last. This has helped me to always fight for my spot in the squad. The jersey is like a medal of honour and the last 4 years especially I've understood that this badge and jersey belongs to Australia and every time I stepped out onto the pitch I was representing 24 million Australians.
I feel now is the right time to call it a day playing for Australia. I would like to thank my parents for being there from day 1 and for their constant support, and to my wife and kids for making sacrifices to allow me to follow my dreams and to prolong my international career. Looking up into the stands before a match and seeing them there always lifted me to give everything on the pitch. I would also like to thank my friends, coaches, team mates and the fans who have all played a part in my career with Australia. We are so lucky to have such passionate supporters and there is no feeling like walking out on the pitch and seeing (and hearing!) so many in green and gold.
It’s been a privilege and an honour.

I've loved watching Tim play soccer. I watched him play a bit when he was with Everton and the NY Red Bulls. Class act and damn good player. His retirement speech is heartfelt and genuine. What an amazing career and an all around great guy.

I don't have a favorite and have no clue!

I will research Big Soccer and see.

Yes....definitely a class act.
He developed a close friendship with our Landon Donovan when Landon was on loan to Everton.
