While it's great news in the short-term, part of me was hoping the Aussies would go all the way and Yengi would score an absolute screamer for the winner in the final to add a few million to his value!
So many fans from all clubs moan when their players play in big international matches, but I prefer to consider the potential benefits. How much did Owen's profile and value increase based on that goal against the Argies? Lineker kick-started his career with that hat-trick against Poland in 1986 - before that game he was probably the third choice striker behind Dixon and Hateley. John Barnes became a bit of a superstar based on that dribble and goal at the Maracana etc.
