You need to stop the victim mentality.
It’s an article about Declan Edge and his contribution to NZ.

Bro its what we are good at, salty about an article about a coach whom has made a lot of kiwi players good.
If we hadn't produced half the current AW set up, then that would be a problem.

I'll just patiently wait for an article on the Nix's contributions.

I forgot Kosta, so 13/26.
Perhaps I did take the comment in isolation, but stand by my comments, the media constantly ignore the Nix impact on the national team.
And Edge has been notoriously chippy and anti-Phoenix iirc? A jealous god.
How’s he getting on with Auckland?

Sure. But he’s also been an aggro dickhead with a bunch of people, iirc.
And there’s no need for the writer to be snippy with the Nix by comparison. It’s an unnecessary snarky sentence and a weak shot at the Nix’s contribution to NZ Football. It’s a conclusion on the article: Declan rules, Nix suck btw.laterz!
The sentence is there. It’s not necessary, but Edgelord seems to be a messianic and aggressive with football that isn’t his or doesn’t have his permission.
Last time we made a World Cup we did because of the cohesion of a Nix coach and a Nix supporting cast. None of Declan’s disciples have got us further since then.
And as Procrastinixing points out we’ve contributed plenty of players and helped employ plenty too, who’ve taken careers elsewhere and to the WC.
Perhaps as well as not having a victim mentality, paying the Nix their due (or just not mentioning them if, as you say they’re not the topic) and not being a bitch about the club constantly could also be an option for several people involved?
Edit: re-reading it, even though Declan is prickly and there’s been a lot of Auckland fandom crapping on us taken as truth, the quote at the end is not so much knocking the Nix, but pointing out how unusual and exceptional that one team was amongst the history of teams in New Zealand for producing professional players. The rates of success from academies is usually low, with the Nix academy given as an expectation of a normal football team, and this team, hitting its stride now, was phenomenal. Most likely by international standards too.
