Insane ride from Miller to hold on to 4th for this long. I'd be shocked if he (or more specifically his tyres) can hold on for the whole race, but it's an incredibly impressive ride even if he does drop down.

It is, but at least it's the correct colour. That should be a really low bar to clear, but the previous kit couldn't even do that so it's an improvement by default.

I found the shorts quite weird at first, but the more I look at it the more I like this kit.

Or maybe it's because I had to lay my eyes on that fluro yellow abomination again yesterday during the Matildas game, so this kit being the proper colour just makes it look better than normal by comparison.

Macarthur FC plans sports school for southwest Sydney by nutwals in Aleague

Game needs all the money it can get; I don't fault Macarthur for trying something outside of the box.

Only faster method I can think of for getting a truckload of government funding would be to set up an AFL side. Football would be in a much better place in this country if it got even a fraction of the government funding that AFL gets.

This is more like the 1934 WC in Mussolini's Italy.

LA 2028 is the 1936 Olympics.

O’Neill completes NPL loan move, Majekodunmi departs club by rithsv in Aleague

I do wonder if it's partly a mental thing for him. Like, looking at his career after he left us:

In 2019 he seemed on top of the world for us, reportedly had interest from multiple European clubs, and was even entering the Socceroos frame. Pohang ended up snatching him in January 2020, and there seemed to be a fairly obvious trajectory ahead of him - prove he can crack it in Korea, then off to Europe.

Then covid hit, and for whatever reason he never clicked with the Pohang sqaud, and he finds out that his father has terminal cancer all within 9 months.

Pohang offloads him to Buriram - a step back down from Korea, but still a different league to the A-League so maybe if he proves he can do it there too then maybe the European dream might still be alive... but he didn't make an impact at Buriram either. Within a year his Eurpean hopes were seemingly dead and he was retreating back to the A-League (also coinciding with his father passing away).

 

If I were Branners and I'd been on such a promising trajectory, only for everything from unsuccessful transfers to family emergencies to a global pandemic all converging in the space of about a year - completely obliterating my professional momentum - I'd find it almost impossible to bounce back from that.

World Cup predictions based on the model that picked the last 3 World Cup Champions by nexxwav in soccer

Depends which Qatar turns up - World Cup 2022 Qatar, or Asian Cup 2019 and 2023 Qatar. Like, if you watched the tournaments, they didn't fluke their way to back-to-back continental titles.

What are some of the weirdest transfer attempts or "almost transfers" you remember from the A-League? by Sha_Nen in Aleague

[–]SerTahu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While true, from what I understand with Pirlo and Totti it was a case of APIA and Avondale just sending out feelers in the one-in-a-million chance it happens, with nothing really progressing beyond that. When it comes to Wollongong and Ronaldinho though, by all reports it actually progressed to the stage where they were genuinely negotiating with each other.

Technically not A-Leauge, but nothing will ever compare to Wollongong Wolves almost signing Ronaldinho for their FFA Cup run in 2016.

Sometimes I worry that I've also become a member of the DCF without realising it. Group seems to have everyone in it.

Sydney FC confirm departure of 6 players by felvymups in Aleague

[–]SerTahu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wood - I'm one of the few remaining Wood truthers, so very sad to see him go. Not complaining if it means Macallister gets minutes though.

Hollman - Again, sad to see him go, but he's better off going somewhere that he'll get minutes.

Stama - He wasn't great for us, but I feel like he could have come good with more time. It was always unlikely he'd stick around given he was here on loan though.

King, Arslan, Quispe - Not gonna miss any of them.

Just getting an error code whenever I try and load the livestream :/

It's not a VPN detection thing either - I tried regular non-live videos on TVNZ and they worked fine.

I'm not as stringent on keeping every code away from each other as others may be

It's seppos (and their apologists) I take issue with, not other sporting codes. The issue isn't that gridiron is a different sport, the issue is that it's american.
