Stefan Mauk was still on the Adelaide United payroll until Cong An Hanoi took up the buy option though.

Yaya Dukuly made the move overseas also but it hasn't been reflected in the A-League Men transfer centre for the offseason heading into season 2026-27 yet.

It's across the entire Adelaide United organisation though and five of those players including the likes of Stefan Mauk, Luka Jovanovic, Ella Tonkin and Matilda McNamara have secured moves overseas.

Adelaide United have only lost seven players across both their men's and women's sides so they could well be considered as having retained the most players heading into season 2026-27.

Japan are still the number one team in Asia at the conclusion of the World Cup, with South Korea, Jordan and Uzbekistan dropping seven and ten ranking places respectively following a disastrous campaign in the case of the former and courageous efforts on debut but ultimately falling well short...

Not sure about the situation in the A-League Men but in the Dub Newcastle Jets haven't culled any players altogether and neither have Canberra United but we'd expect players to walk now that the latter's ownership transition has been sorted.

It is a shame that the Hahn Australia Cup competition proper lacks value despite everyone talking about the magic of the Cup and how domestic cup competitions elsewhere are taken more seriously than in Australia.

You didn't give up that much of a lead and ended up finishing just the one correct prediction behind the tie for first place but having said that the World Cup produced many unexpected results which led to the tipping comp being a closely contested affair throughout.

I think the tactical system implemented by Luis de la Fuente during the World Cup allowed Pedro Porro and Marc Cucurella to flourish and end up becoming the best fullbacks in the entire comp with Spain whereas they were being restricted under their respective head coaches at Spurs and Chelsea so...

Central Coast Mariners have been bolstering their playing list quite a bit over the course of the A-League Men offseason but Sydney United 58 should still be able to spring a cupset in the first round of the Hahn Australia Cup competition proper as they have done previously on many occasions.

Jacob Brazete to Adelaide United confirmed as a done deal for the next three seasons through the end of A-League Men season 2028-29, with an option for 2029-30.

https://adelaideunited.com.au/news/reds-secure-exciting-young-australian-winger-jacob-brazete/ Jacob Brazete is headed to Adelaide United after leaving Brisbane Roar and will be under contract at the side for the next three seasons through the end of A-League Men season 2028-29 with option for...

Newcastle Jets will definitely be in contention to retain the Premier's Plate and challenge for the A-League Men Championship heading into season 2026-27 in addition to trying to be competitive in AFC Champions League Elite given how much they've bolstered their playing list.

Also congrats @Dinamo for finishing level on points at the conclusion of the World Cup tipping comp.

Fabian Ruiz earning his 50th cap for Spain in the World Cup final also.

It's an unwritten rule that Athletic Bilbao only sign homegrown players or those that came through Basque farm systems but they are still only one of three sides along with Real Madrid and Barcelona to have never been relegated from La Liga.

Alex Grant to Newcastle Jets now a done deal and he'll be under contract at the side for the entirety of A-League Men season 2026-27.

It's also England's best result at a World Cup on foreign soil to be coming third this cycle and the first time they've managed to get the job done in the third place match after previously losing in 1990 and 2018.

1. FC Köln have not announced the signing of Paul Okon-Engstler yet so not sure if that transfer is going ahead or if it's collapsed.

It's only a matter of time before the Socceroos and Matildas eventually follow suit with Spain in winning both men's and women's World Cups.

Rodri adjudged player of the tournament at the 2026 World Cup.

Unai Simon winning the Golden Glove award for Spain to add to his World Cup title.

Pau Cubarsi adjudged the rising star for the 2026 World Cup cycle.

Spain have only conceded the one goal throughout their World Cup campaign in addition to scoring 14 goals and finish with a record of seven wins and one draw.

That could well be the case when Spain meet England for the first time as world champions when UEFA Nations League gets underway in September.

Argentina were outclassed by Spain throughout the World Cup final and the second yellow card for Enzo Fernandez didn't help them either.

Spain winning the World Cup this cycle by the same scoreline as they did in 2010, also after extra time and have now gone 38 games unbeaten as the newly crowned world champions to add to their existing European title.

Spain got the job done 1-0 over 10-man Argentina after extra time in the World Cup final to win the World Cup for only the second time ever and first time since 2010, with Ferran Torres scoring the only goal of the match in the 106th minute in extra time.

A very quiet day at the office for Lionel Messi, who only has just the one shot at goal.

There'll be five minutes of second half stoppage time in extra time.

Spain have more or less won the World Cup so he's allowed to start celebrating becoming a premiership player in earnest.

Alexis Mac Allister yellow carded in the 111th minute in extra time for Argentina for a foul.

Ferran Torres scores in the 106th minute in extra time for Spain to give them a 1-0 lead. Nico Williams with the assist.

Spain and Argentina scoreless at the half in extra time.

Three minutes of first half stoppage time in extra time.

Marcos Senesi coming on in the 102nd minute in extra time for Argentina, replacing Julian Alvarez.

Two further changes for Spain in the 99th minute in extra time. Eric Garcia and Martin Zubimendi come on for Aymeric Laporte and Rodri respectively, also getting their first minutes of game time during the entirety of Spain's World Cup campaign.

Emiliano Martinez also made a crucial save playing a full ninety for Argentina between the sticks with a broken finger sustained in the Europa League final.

Lamine Yamal actually has heaps of potential and came through the Barcelona farm system at La Masia though.

Spain and 10-man Argentina headed to extra time in the World Cup final after they finished scoreless at the end of regulation time.

Enzo Fernandez now only the sixth player to be sent off in the World Cup final and first since the 2010 cycle.

Enzo Fernandez given a second yellow card for Argentina in the third minute of second half stoppage time for a foul and is subsequently sent off, with Argentina now down to ten men.

There'll be four minutes of second half stoppage time.

Enzo Fernandez yellow carded in the 83rd minute for Argentina for an argument, becoming the third Argentina player to receive one this match.

Spain have recorded ten shots with seven on target and one big chance by comparison.

Emiliano Martinez should be winning back-to-back Golden Glove awards at the World Cup by the conclusion of the current cycle.

Official attendance 80,663 at MetLife Stadium for the World Cup final, which is a full house.

Two more changes for Spain in the 75th minute. Mikel Merino and Nico Williams come on for Dani Olmo and Alex Baena respectively.

Two more changes for Argentina in the 70th minute. Giuliano Simeone and Facundo Medina come on for Rodrigo De Paul and Cristian Romero respectively.

It's easier for the commentary team to do so as opposed to calling him Lamine Yamal or even by his full name every time he gets a touch of the ball.

Spain and Argentina scoreless at the three quarter time hydration break.

Two changes for Spain in the 62nd minute. Ferran Torres and Pedri come on for Mikel Oyarzabal and Fabian Ruiz respectively.

Nahuel Molina coming on in the 58th minute for Argentina, replacing Gonzalo Montiel.

The third place match between England and France was undoubtedly the more entertaining spectacle despite the contrasting difference in what's at stake between the two matches.

Leandro Paredes yellow carded in the 52nd minute for Argentina for unsporting behaviour, becoming the second Argentina player and second player overall to receive one.

Graham Arnold and Iraq had at least an hour for half time in their match against France though.

Spain and Argentina back underway for the second half, with Spain now kicking from right to left and Argentina kicking in the other direction.

Leandro Paredes coming on at the half for Argentina, replacing Nicolas Gonzalez.

To be fair we've been subjected to Shakira's World Cup song already for the entirety of the tournament during pre-match formalities except for opening day of countries' respective campaigns.

Jackson Irvine and Connor Metcalfe have their winter break in 2. Bundesliga over the Christmas period but the league will have returned once the Asian Cup proper gets underway.

Many of us already buy products associated with the promoted brands every day without knowing it.

Players still need pre-season games to build fitness and match sharpness after so many months' worth of vacation during the offseason otherwise they risk getting injured when the season gets underway.

Spain and Argentina scoreless going into the half.

Not all club and national team farm systems place emphasis on that style of play though.

Four minutes of first half stoppage time in the World Cup final.

Lisandro Martinez forced off with injury in the 44th minute for Argentina and is replaced by Nicolas Otamendi.

Lisandro Martinez yellow carded in the 41st minute for Argentina for a foul, becoming the first player to receive one this match.

Lamine Yamal seems to be running riot round Lionel Messi early on in this contest.

Spain and Argentina scoreless at the quarter time hydration break.

It's safe to say that Marc Cucurella will probably have his hair pulled at least once during the World Cup final in addition to drawing a couple of fouls.

Spain and Argentina now underway in the World Cup final, with Spain kicking from left to right and Argentina kicking from right to left.

Spain heading into the World Cup final with an unchanged playing list from the quarterfinals and semi-finals, with Fabian Ruiz also earning his 50th cap for the side.

There's only a budget lineup for the pre-match entertainment because FIFA splashed all their cash on the half-time show.

Spain seem like a better chance of winning the World Cup than Argentina given the fact that they have never trailed during their campaign even though both teams have world-class playing lists and the likes of Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi respectively.

Argentina were very lucky to get the job done over teams like Cape Verde, Egypt and England during their World Cup campaign though and most of the time had to come from behind to win their matches.

Argentina haven't really been that convincing during the latter stages of this World Cup cycle though and Spain will be the biggest test for them in their quest to win back-to-back titles.

John Iredale with an assist for Gwangju in K League 1.

John Iredale played the entirety of Gwangju's 1-1 K League 1 draw with FC Anyang, getting an assist in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time and a yellow card in the 69th minute.

We can still achieve promotion and relegation in a fully professional ten-team Dub without the need for contraction but the priority after full-time professionalisation should be implementing a women's Hahn Australia Cup first, then a women's Australian Championship before thinking about adding...

Patrick Beach to Troyes is now a done deal and he'll be under contract at the side for the next five seasons through the end of Ligue 1 season 2030-31.

There's no point in splitting the Dub into two divisions and subsequently implementing pro-rel though as we can still achieve a fully professional ten-team comp without the need for contraction.

Charles Lokolingoy played the entirety of Chungnam Asan's 1-0 K League 2 loss to 10-man Jeonnam Dragons, missing a penalty in the 13th minute of second half stoppage time.

We won't be able to implement promotion and relegation in the Dub until there's a women's Australian Championship though but for now the priority should be achieving full-time professionalisation then thinking about creating a women's equivalent to the Hahn Australia Cup.

At least the World Cup tipping comp is still a close contest unlike the fantasy competition some forumites are participating in.

There's no match report anywhere but we know that Bryleeh Henry and Remy Siemsen both started for Rosengard per the starting XI given, and if what @HonestSpursFan is saying about Izzy Gomez making her club debut is correct then she would have gotten game time from the bench.

Of course expansion of the World Cup means that there will be more goals scored and we'd expect to see the same trend in both the next men's and women's World Cup cycles when they become 64 and 48-team comps respectively.

Some of the South American sides employ similar styles of play and tactical systems to certain teams at the Asian Cup though so playing teams like Brazil and Uruguay would still be useful for the Socceroos heading into their campaign.

Jesse Randall started and played 71 minutes for Dundee United in their 3-0 Scottish League Cup group B win over Arbroath before being subbed off, getting a yellow card in the seventh minute of the match.

To be fair not many of us thought England would get the job done over France in the third place match and definitely not in the manner they did during what ended up being a ten-goal thriller.

Tori Tumeth played the entirety of Vancouver Rise's 3-0 Northern Super League win over AFC Toronto, scoring in the 12th minute.

Kahli Johnson started and played the entire first half for Leah Blayney's Calgary Wild in their 2-0 Northern Super League loss to Montreal Roses before being subbed off at the half.

England got the job done 6-4 over France in the World Cup third place match to finish third for the first time ever, earning their best ever result at the tournament since going all the way in 1966.

Jude Bellingham scores in the eighth minute of second half stoppage time for England to make the score 6-4.

Ousmane Dembele scores in the sixth minute of second half stoppage time for France to make the score 5-4. Dayot Upamecano with the assist.

Trevoh Chalobah coming on in the third minute of second half stoppage time for England, replacing Marc Guehi.

Jules Kounde coming on in the first minute of second half stoppage time for France, replacing Malo Gusto.

There'll be seven minutes of second half stoppage time in the World Cup third place match.

Bukayo Saka converts a penalty in the 87th minute for England to get his hat-trick and make the score 5-3 near the end of regulation time.

Portugal picked Cristiano Ronaldo who plies his trade in Saudi Arabia and they don't necessarily have problems with their tactical system though.

Jarell Quansah forced off with injury in the 83rd minute for England and is replaced by Reece James.

Two changes for England in the 79th minute. Elliot Anderson and Jude Bellingham come on for Ivan Toney and Eberechi Eze respectively.

No game time for Ryan McGowan, who was an unused substitute for Livingston in their 1-1 Scottish League Cup group E draw with Partick Thistle, with Livingston subsequently losing 3-2 on penalties.

Thomas Tuchel clearly hasn't learnt anything from England's semi-final loss to Argentina and still thinks taking inspiration from Popaball will get results.

Lionel Messi will be regaining the record outright at the conclusion of the World Cup final though but both Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi are now the top two leading goalscorers at the World Cup when taking both men's and women's editions into account.

England leading France 4-3 at the three quarter time hydration break.

Kylian Mbappe scores again in the 66th minute for France to get his brace and make the score 4-3. Michael Olise with the assist to add to his existing one today.

Mackenzie Arnold played the entirety of Portland Thorns' 2-1 NWSL loss to Denver Summit in goal.

Sam Kerr came on in the 63rd minute for Gotham FC in their 3-2 NWSL win over Seattle Reign, getting an assist on the match-winning goal in the eighth minute of second half stoppage time.

I don't see why France can't come back from 4-0 down at the half to get the job done especially since other sides have done so successfully in the past.

Bradley Barcola scores in the 54th minute for France to make the score 4-2. Kylian Mbappe with the assist to add to his goal today.

Surely Ousmane Dembele would be an improvement to the France playing list though.

Qatar took part in World Cup qualifiers for the 2022 cycle but having said that the first two rounds also doubled as qualifying for the 2023 Asian Cup.

Kylian Mbappe scores in the 48th minute for France to pull a goal back for them and make the score 4-1. Michael Olise with the assist.

Zac Sapsford played the entirety of Dundee United's 3-0 Scottish League Cup group B win over Arbroath, scoring in the 37th minute and getting an assist in the 54th minute. Josh Rawlins also played the entire match for Dundee United, getting a yellow card in the 71st minute. Lachie Rose came on...

Lachie Rose with a goal for Dundee United in the Scottish League Cup group stage.

Even if they qualify automatically they would still play a qualifying campaign which would essentially serve the same purpose as pre-tournament friendlies.

Zac Sapsford with a goal and assist for Dundee United in the Scottish League Cup group stage.

They'd still be having a World Cup qualification campaign though so players can get valuable match minutes and it would contribute towards FIFA rankings.

Mike Maignan should be doing better considering he plies his trade in the Big Five European leagues and will be playing Europa League football heading into season 2026-27.

France were woeful defensively throughout the first half and Kylian Mbappe is having a day off today.

England leading France 4-0 going into the half.

Bukayo Saka scores again in the first minute of first half stoppage time for England to get his brace and make the score 4-0. Eberechi Eze with the assist.

No game time for Patrick Yazbek, who was not in the matchday squad altogether for Nashville SC in their 1-0 MLS win over Atlanta United.

As results currently stand Shanxi Xihua are on course to win the spoon given how close to season's end it is and I doubt that Sarah O'Donoghue will be getting game time yet because all the regulatory processes and international clearance still have to go through successfully first.

Yaya Dukuly came on at the half for Celje in their 2-2 1. SNL opening day draw with Mura, making his competitive debut for the side.

Sarah O'Donoghue will be playing at a similar level to Member Federation comps though as she's moving to a side that's bottom of the Chinese second division which would be a similar standard to NPLW Victoria or New South Wales, but she should still be getting consistent game time as opposed to...

Bentleigh Greens have only won the one game this season against Boroondara Eagles at the start of June though and are on course for relegation despite bringing in the likes of Kiera Meyers, Julia Sardo and Melissa Barbieri between the sticks to bolster their playing list.

Spain will lead early on in the World Cup final but Argentina will inevitably come from behind and get the job done to win back-to-back titles, announce to the world that Lionel Messi is the undisputed greatest of all time and let everyone know that you can never write them off.

If Heather Garriock and Football Australia want to go for a tactical system with greater focus on attacking whilst still retaining some aspects of Popaball then Thomas Tuchel would be the perfect shout to become the next Socceroos head coach.

Sam Kerr on the bench for Gotham FC in their NWSL game against Washington Spirit.

Popaball and similar ultra-defensive tactical systems which make use of a park the bus mentality don't work against sides like Argentina.

Argentina got the job done 2-1 over England in their World Cup semi-final to advance to their second straight World Cup final where they'll face Spain with a chance to win back-to-back titles, whilst England will play France in the third place match in Miami.

Even though England are getting knocked out they still get to play in the third place match though.
