no way, the nIx would be competitive based upon skill.
Our best players burns and wee mac at their peak couldn't make it.
You look at all the Ausis whom have gone there over the years. Very few have been good enough to cut it at that level.
Most foreigners fail in the league due to the culture shock, difference in training, and high workload. It's why Burns failed and I'm guessing it's why Weemac failed too. Also everyone's really technical over there so Burns wasn't quite the standout that he is here. It's hy I'm really worried about de Vries moving over there, even if it is J2. Of course there are great teams like Urawa and Kashima who are probably better than Sydney but it's much more of an unbalanced league than the A-League. If we were chucked into the league I'd expect consistent bottom half finishes and relegation battles at the worst, but we'd honestly do okay
