His Championship form this season, in terms of goals and assists has been excellent, despite missing many games this season with injury. His team id in with a good chance to be promoted automatically to the EPL. My mother returned to Australia from Europe by ship in 1960 via the Panama Canal...

Does Gauci have a get out clause, when Port Vale are relegated? Surely he will be picked up by a club in a higher grade comp, somewhere else in Europe, if not in England.

2 distance rocket goals + a penalty kick.

If Bos doesn't land a gig at a quality EPL club, would love to see him at Barcelona or Paris St Germain.

Australia needs to get tougher on players of any sport who are born and/or grow up here for at least 10 years, but choose to play for another country. Citizenship, residency, and passport of Australia should be revoked under such circumstances. I would not advocate such measures on players not...

If Portsmouth were to be relegated it would be detramental for the Socceroos, next season, unless more Championship Teams gave Aussies a go.

Aussie Gem, to be renamed Touremaline. Hope he proves more durable than opal.

Yes, The Atlantic Cup held in Portugal is a pre- or mid-season friendly tournament designed for European clubs, particularly those from leagues that do not operate during the winter (such as Scandinavia, Northern, and Central Europe). It serves as a competitive friendly competition for teams to...

Apparently he was on a yellow card from the previous game and the opposition were using this to target him. The Manager sought to remove him as a precautionary measure to have him available for future games. At least that's what I read elsewhere.

You overlooked Jedinak's prowess with the spot kick. Legenday for the Socceroos.

Sainsbiry became a big dissapointment for me. Seemed to play it cool, but switched off and effed up way too often which may have contributed to his lack of game time in Serie A. Apologies to those offended by my frank language, but I seriously believe that with a better mind set he could have...

More likely to be from countries qualified for the world cup. Please not No Mates New Zealand again. Cape Verde Islands anyone?

Dissapointing second half. Colombia went for the jugular and Australian defence failed to cope. News reports sugest that the entire squad had been beset by unspecified illness in the lead up to the game. That may be, but not sure it should be used an excuse for the second half collapse.

The Socceroos seemed to be gaining in confidence late in the second half. Irvines touch appears to have improved. Bodes well for the Second half. Got to take the game more to Colombia though.

Canada 0 Ecuador 0 FT. Will this result re Ecuador's result impact WC seedings?
