FFA muzzles Postecoglou after pay dispute criticism

Football Federation Australia appears to have censored coach Ange Postecoglou after he criticized its ongoing CBA dispute with the players.

Australia coach Ange Postecoglou has retracted his criticism of Football Federation Australia (FFA) and condemned Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) for playing out a pay dispute ahead of World Cup qualifying.

"To me, the fact that both sides think that the best time to play it out is in the middle of a Socceroos camp, [it is] not good enough," Postecoglou was quoted as saying by News Corp."I'm not happy it's being played in Socceroos camp. I don't have the players often and when I have them, that time's precious and I don't want a minute wasted.
