    Spurs. Unreal.

    Pretty much every European game we play is completely whack.

    13 minutes in against Inter: 3-0 down with our keeper sent off. 35 minutes in: 4-0 down.

    Bale scores a second half hat-trick (including one of the best of the season) and we finish 4-3 losers having played over 80 minutes with 10 men.

    What is happening to Chelsea? At least Man U won 26 on the trot and could take top spot in a few weeks

    See the World Cup bid was on overnight. What was Elle MacPherson on ?! And Julia Gulia..OMG.

    Um, ah, um you know, um......the FIFA judges will either be wooeed by her beauty or.....

    i don't want the world cup to be in australia. it will be a security nightmare, cities locked down for 5-6 weeks.

    happy to watch it on tv at the pub from some other country.

    i agree totally with your summation of elle and joolia. very embarrassing to listen to i thought

    I agree , WYL, I don't want it,either.

    But the reason I'm opposed is because I see Soccer as a threat to our home-grown, superior game, Australian Football

    Having the World Cup here will not only badly disrupt the season of the Footy I'm interested in, but it will concentrate attention on the inferior sport.

    Many young kids will follow soccer instead of Australian football. Especially the kids of recently arrived Australians. I love the idea of migrants embracing the Australian way of life, and in my opinion, that includes Aust. Football, not European football, or "mobile wrestling"(rugby...also not native Australian).

    I like the idea of us Australians distinguishing ourselves sportwise by having a very strong League of our very different game.

    I see the World Cup in Australia(Sydney), as a threat to that.

    Well done Hammers....4 nil v. Manchester U. in he Carling Cup!!!

    The EPL Football i do really like, attacking. But the European Brand of Soccer is just dull most of the time as it all hinges on defence.

    I do enjoy the WC for that one month, but i do not want it in my backyard-i see no gain & nobody will be able to hail a cab for weeks. Stuff that!!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
