FIFA have now announced 3 minute drink breaks (regardless of temperature) during every half of every game at the world cup. Obviously just to allow ad breaks, effectively playing quarters now...

Clear pen early surely.

Seems they knew what they were talking about.

Yeah he's going home. Big loss for the game, really no media left.

Yeah be interesting, just read they would plan to have a separate squad to the one competing in the A-League.

Huge win for Kawasaki, Ronaldo had a few late chances to equalise. Seemed a decent match.

Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix have now confirmed submissions to enter.

Central Coast not looking great either. Rumours on social media today saying that until they are sold they are no longer allowed to renew any contracts or buy any new players. As well as more budget cuts across the whole club.

Looked bad, non contact knee injuries never good. Just hope not ACL, we will know tonight i assume.

Should still be close to 50/50 from here. The first goal next week is going to be massive. The small fishing town of Bodo Glimt the likely opponent now in the semi final for the winner as well.

I assume the AFL was only shown into Sydney on Seven as it's meant to be Foxtel/Kayo exclusive on Saturday now. Not sure the Super Rugby. It really should be a huge opportunity for the A-League to market itself on FTA on Saturday nights with the other major sports only on pay TV.

Tottenham games used to be fun to watch at least. It's actually painful now even as a neutral. The Angeball days are long gone, it's hard to see anyway they win the Europa League. I assume they will heavily rotate the squad against Southampton, could easily lose that as well.

Lol Kiwis 4-0 up after 30 mins in their hardest game to qualify for the World Cup against Fiji. They host New Caledonia Monday, winner is in and loser is into inter contintental playoff. I assume they will win 10-0 or something, surely Oceania has to merge with Asia.

Surely he'd be way below 50% now, they have only won 10 games this season, think it was 20 last year.

Their squad is better than a lot of teams above them including Fulham. The first half yesterday was awful, but the first 20-25 mins of the 2nd was the best Spurs have played for a while. Then the game got stretched and there were gaps everywhere, Tottenham always concede as soon as games look...
