Wigan over Spurs, and Arsenal made to work for the win away vs Rovers. Interesting season ahead.

    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.

    So where does everyone think Rooney will go , its seems Sir Alex has had enough of him and he has been in patchy form since the World Cup

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

    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!!

    The above link lists the 23 players nominated for Ballon d'Or European footballer of the year .

    Barcelona have 8 of their players put forward ! Including Messi of course .

    Interestingly La Liga has 13 players nominated , the EPL has 4 , Serie A and the Bundesliga have 2 each .

    Oh and btw if you want to watch the greatest team in the world strut their stuff , the mighty Barcelona are away to Athletic Bilboa 5.55am this Monday on ESPN (Red and Blue colours of course ) ( Ok , a splash of yellow as well ) Barcelona's games are shown live every week on ESPN - Get on board !

    Cheers , Nuggets

    "el clasico" on at 7.55am tomorrow morning .

    Real Madrid vs Barcelona . Arguably the 2 best soccer teams in the world and interestingly , both teams are owned by their fans .

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
