With national coach Pim Verbeek departing the Socceroo coaching job at the end of this World Cup, Brosque hopes the new man will look on the league more favourably.

And with the 26-year-old striker leaning towards staying in Australia over the next four years, he hopes his strategy will pay off.

"I don't have that sort of burning desire to go and play overseas," he said at Friday's launch of Sydney's Festival of Football. 

"I'm very happy playing in the A-League and it depends on what the [new Socceroo] coach thinks of the A-League

"It seems it doesn't matter - you could be anywhere overseas but you've seen how Adelaide did in the ACL by getting to the final.

"I think the A-League really is not that different to other teams in Asia, which is why I don't think the A-League gets the credit it deserves.

"And playing a lot more games, the seasons are going to get longer from now on and with the ACL. If anything, we won't have anything to complain about next time World Cup selection comes around."

Brosque admitted he gave himself "a small chance" of getting into this Socceroo squad. However, after assessing his options - including his new family circumstances - the striker effectively cut his losses.

"From the middle to the back end of the season, if I was to have any chance I needed to train somewhere else or be involved with another team," he said.

"But as the season went on and the birth of my daughter was happening around that time, I realised I didn't have a strong chance and I was already behind the eight ball so to speak so ..."

Brosque cites the example of his former sky blue teammate Simon Colosimo as vindication of his strategy.

He added: "[Simon] Colosimo went away for a couple of months and even he missed out - which for me was a big surprise. He had more of a chance than I did.

 "So I pretty much cut my losses, came home and enjoyed time with my family and, if anything, work towards the next World Cup campaign.

"And now I've got that taste, it's a real buzz and I need to put in a really good four years work but it's also about timing.

"It doesn't matter what I do next year, it's about the year leading up to the World Cup."
