It's a bit of a pity it's not the Brazil of old with Socrates & Zico et al

At least minnows like Italy and Holland will have a chance to show their wares on the world stage.

Fantastic atmosphere at the stadium... great game. France full of individual brilliance but we played as the better team perhaps. We have avoided the opening round thrashing of the last two

The opposition wasn't much but we played alright.  The win puts the Aussies back in the picture at least 

Top 2 in the group is still attainable but we'll need to get at least 2 of 4 wins against the Saudi's & Japan (and that's a big ask) 

3rd or 4th in the group advances the team to the next qualifying round.  Top 2 straight to the WC

Well 'ten Hag' getting sacked seems to have been a long time coming

Almost every week there has some sort of story that he was on thin ice

Man Utd reminds me of the VRC (Racing Victoria) ... not knowing what to about the free spending and successful noisy neighbour (Man City & NSW Racing) 

Mind you, Man City could have some big issues soon enough what with the investigation re their true & accurate financial situation

And for what it's worth, the head of NSW Racing (Peter V'landys) is a true visionary with bucket loads of money at his disposal

Ruben Amorim officially named as Man Utd manager.

Liverpool was right into him until he decided to meet with West Ham and we moved on. I personally would have liked to give him a shot but it was something completely different to what Klopp had engrained in the club.

For United though, it could be anything, he's a young coach who plays with 3 at the back and with true wing-backs.

Will it work? No idea. But it will be different and it will be exciting to watch if the right players are involved.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
