I swear maybe a week or so ago someone posted on the A League subreddit that a young Hoffenheim striker had an Australian parent or grandparent, but the post seems to be deleted. Maybe it was a troll post. I think it was about Max Moerstedt.

Wonder if Josef Sikora is the son of Victor Sikora, former Dutch international and Perth Glory legend.

That tackle he made against Tunisia after Rowles (I think?) slipped over is imprinted into my brain

I don’t see how Souttar can be picked, he hasn’t played for over a year, he was out of favour at Leicester (hence why he was sent out on loan to Sheffield), and the championship season is almost over. Given the nature of his injury (and the fact that he’s a big guy) one would think he might be...

Not sure if there is any truth to this or if it’s some sort of agent fluff.

Apparently they are currently owned by Maverick Sports Group (no idea what that is), but at least two prospective buyers pulled out prior to that.

Seems he also had an assist
