Happy with Ang but dubious about where it might lead. 

Mourinho, Antonio and whoever else has been in the chair since Poch has been unable to properly loosen Levy's purse strings (Poch couldn't do it either), so there's no reason to expect that will change now. The owners seem content to be contending / qualifying for CL, rather than seriously chasing silverware.

Talk at the moment has 3/4 of the squad being shipped out, and if Kane goes too, then a rebuild is basically on the cards - something which probably should have started a few seasons back.

Moyes was the wrong man for the united job and it set his managerial career into a downward spiral.

Seeing his celebration and raw emotion after winning his first major trophy hit me in the feels a little.

Football is about moments and unbridled passion and the Hammers win this morning was in abundance of that. 

Congrats to City, I can't/don't want to say anything else about it but the Treble is a massive achievement.

Bring on the Summer transfer market. 

 

I'll be taking an active interest in the Women's World Cup.  Might get to a game or 3 if work permits

Matilda's need to start well ... the other 3 teams in our group are Ireland, Nigeria & Canada

From what I can gather, the top 10 teams are as follows ...

USA, England, Spain, Germany, Australia

France, Sweden, Netherlands, Brazil, Canada

Starts July 20th so just over a month away

Arsenal closing in on Declan Rice with the fee believed to be in the region of £105 mil. Huge outlay but a small price to pay if it keeps them in the title race.

Big night for the Matilda's tonight in front of an enormous TV audience

The team has a huge following and a win tonight would bring an even bigger following

The question is ... will Sam Kerr play? 

Go Matilda's Go Go Go!!

Pretty good first half. Great trap and pass by Fowler to set up that goal.

Terrible coverage to not be showing all of the finals on FTA

I agree ... and CH7 will be kicking themselves now as the TV audiences have been enormous

And yes, a world class through-ball by Fowler.  And then the nutmeg by Foord upon scoring!

 

That's a tremendous win to the Matilda's ... we played very well and needed to

And ran out the game well, too good for Denmark

Sam Kerr gets some vital minutes so augers well for Sam & the team for their next encounter ... 5.00pm Saturday vs France or Morocco.  An ideal lead-in to our clash with the Blues on Saturday evening

Carn the Tillies!! 

reckon we are a red hot crack to win the World Cup. 

Foord has been amazing. solid down back.

Definitely opened up a bit with the eliminations of Germany, USA, Brasil.

Japan/Spain have impressed me the most this tournament. predicting a Spain vs England final. 

But knockout football, anything can happen. 

SEN radio are covering all Spurs games this season ... maybe on the app

I want to like soccer, I really do. I see the appeal and the skill.

But watching Japan vs Sweden tonight and I'm yet again left frustrated with the game.

Penalties for players falling over their own feet, players carrying on like they've been shot after incidental boot on boot contact, or any contact for that matter.

Umpires calling time with a whistle, yet allowing play to continue some seconds or minutes past the end and injury time. 

So much is ripe for corruption, and poor umpiring in one moment in the game can decide the outcome.

All on board the Matilda train but beyond that soccer will fade into the ether for me.

Harry Kane off to Bayern (all but done & dusted)

Ange gets his first setback

Dramatic finish sees Spain through. Huge night tomorrow for the Tillies & hoping they bury the poms. Get on this thing l'anders! 


Tillys need a goal here @Macca

Well, there it is!

A scorcher by Kerr!  Amazing!

She seems to be kicking up a gear now. 

Some near misses for England 

Will you ever see a better goal? 

Foord in acres of space. I was fuming for about a split second when she took the shot.

That bald guy on the bench for England looks like he's crafting an evil plot.

He should have a white cat on his lap.

That 3rd goal for England clinches it you'd reckon

Sam's had 2 more great chances but couldn't finish

Need a miracle now

 

Nice run Matildas

England have made the most of their chances.

Thought Fowler had a fantastic tournament for us.

Glad they're finally getting the recognition they've deserved for many years punching way above their weight.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
