I am watching EP1. I expect to watch his red-card-sending-off in the match Eng vs Arg in the 1998 WC.
Qatar, WAGs and United hate: The Beckham doco was great, but it skipped three of the biggest questions of his career
An unique excellent player he is.
Famous in accurate long balls he is.
He has a record of 97 goals in 529 matches, being a midfielder.
According to “Top 10 footballers with most freekick goals in history” by Jimit Bhavsar in WORLD FOOTBALL, his ranking in freekick goals is 4th (65 goals coverted in free kick), just behind Ronaldinho’s 66, Pele’s 70, and Juninho’s 77.
Would you rate him world class?

Some talk about the double header of the Unite Round here.
According to A-league Fixtures currently, on 12 Jan 2024 (Round 27), there will be two matches at CommBank Stadium. These 2 matches are Mac vs WU and MC vs WSW.
Issue 1: How can the earlier of the 2 matches start before sunset? Would one starts at 5 and the next start at 8? Or, 1 match starts at 4 pm while the next match starts at 7:30 pm.
Issue 2: So, is it really a double-header? Would it mean one ticket for watching 2 matches on the same day?
The A-League's 'family-friendly' kick-off times are keeping fans away
Thank!
You have answered correctly what the arrangement should be.
That means to arrange Hore to play centre forward and Gomulka to play his regular position in the middle. Why Gomulka played the striker position yesterday?
What’s wrong with Ross?

Yes, why Gomulka played the striker poistion?
This is a big mystery. There are so many player to choose. Why Gomulka?
There are so many players in the squad to choose. They are Mileusnic, Majok, Brownlee, Lofthouse, Hore, Markovski, Waddingham, or Armiento.
What’s wrong with Ross? Why played Gomulka as a striker?

Before the match, Waz already had said the left side of BR was weak. However, why the experienced Corey Brown was not selected? Evidently, lost two goals starting at the left side last night.
Is it because of fitness or playing style? Surely, Corey Brown has played the one touch football since his start in BR in 2011.
Talking about playing style, is the omittance of Jez Lofthouse due to his dribbling style?
Disputing about dribbling style, has Henry Hore dribbled too much? He is a diligent player in attack and defence. But he always try to shoot once reaching the box. At 24 years of age, he can be transformed surely.

As Waz said BR’s left is weak.

I think the same applies to A-league. That means to say that for the finals series (Elimination-finals and Semi-finals) the gate revenue goes to the hosting club while the gate revenue of the Grand Final goes to APL or FA. Is this right?
Anyway, seems APL is a subsidiary to FA. Is this right?

For Australia Cup Grand Finale, the gate revenue goes to FA or the home hosting club.
Would anyone advise?

It may be confusing that a hand ball should be given a penalty. If you are a referee think this way.
1) Firstly, whether or not deliberate, if the hand blocks the ball flying (going) into the goal, there should be a penalty given.
2) If the above does not appear to be the case, then the referee should think of deliberate or not deliberate hand ball.
************************
Here is an example of the number 2 scenario as described above.
For example, a defender try to clear a ball by kicking the ball away from the small box in the restricted area. Unluckily, the ball makes contact with a hand of one of his/her teammates in the restricted area. Then, the referee should consideer “no penalty”. It is because that the ball’s path is going away from the goal/net. Whether or not the hand was there, the hand has not blocked the ball from going into the net as it is moving away.
*************************
As for the this particular case (the second goal that Arsenal converting a penalty), it is a correct awarding of a penalty. It is evident to me watching the video that the hand (whether or not deliberate) block the ball’s path flying into the goal. Thus, it is a correct penalty.
*************************
I just wonder as experienced as Ange, he is confused. Maybe, he had not watched the replay during the interview.

For this, it is okay. It is like we had Brisbane Roar women playing at 2:00 pm and Brisbane Roar men playing at 4:00 pm. We experienced that in Suncorp before.
Still, there should be 3 stadiums in NSW/Sydney over, Fri, Sat and Sunday.

Thank Garry!
However, there are 12 teams. That means 6 matches.
It is only reasonable if 6 matches in 3 stadiums.
Two matches play in Commbank stadium; two in ANZ stadium; two in Stadium Australia.

PS
Gilberto,
If it is one of the 26 rounds in one weekend, it is still cracy.
That would mean 6 matches in one venue over one weekend.
That would mean 2 matches per day starting Fri, Sat, and Sunday.

Okay, I got it. Thank!
Just one of the 26 rounds.

What is this “magic round”?
Does it mean the below?
Suppose Team A, B, C, D, E, F are teams with the highest top 6 points in order respectivly.
So, on Thursday, Team C and F play in X Stadium (probably Comm Bank or Commbank Stadium)
On the next day, Friday, Team D and E play in the same X Stadium.
On the next day, Saturday, the winner on Thurday plays with Team A or B in the same X Stadium for the one of the 2 grand final spots.
On the next day, Sunday, the winner on Friday plays with Team A or B in the same X Stadium for one of the 2 the grand final spots.
The above looks cracy and stupid.
Did I interpert the report wrongly?
In the report, it is written: “…where an entire round is played at one venue over the course of a weekend.”
It is written “an entire round”. What is that?
Please give details AAP.

Arnold is a coach for tournaments, not for leagues/clubs. He is not of Ange’s style. Ange style is always attacking football. This kind of always attacking football is not suitable for tournaments.
Should Arnold moves to Scotland, he may not succeed.

The average age of the the 11 Tottenham Hotspur’s starters this morning is 24.4 years old. Very young!

I like your questions.
And before I read this essay by Stuart Thomas, I already have my questions in mind.
# Is the squad good enough to win this 2023 World Cup?
Answer: yes, definitely yes, this squad is good enough the win England and Spain.
Why: the squad was good enough to win this World Cup because Matildas have won Denmark and France without Kerr in full form.
# Would this mean that Gustavsson is not good enough?
Answer: yes, despite the squad is good enough, he failed to make very astute arrangements in the game vs England.
# Seems that Gustavsson has developed a lot since the last Asian Cup. So, will he be able to develop enough to make Matildas to win the Olympic next year?
Answer: not sure, but that will be exciting.
The jury is still out on Tony G despite Matildas' thrilling run - will he be remembered as fondly as Aussie Guus?
Some talk about Men’s WC here.
What the problem is the lack of big stadiums in Australia.
The are a few options. Whatever the option is, it is about Australia has not to pay big to build stadia.
Option 1, host with Indonesia and NZ. This is a good choice as Indonesia has 11 stadiums of size >= 4k seats. Also, they have 2 stadiums with the capacity of => 60k seats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stadiums_in_Indonesia
According to NewsComAu 27 Jun 2018 Australia has talked to Indonesia about hosting together and together with NZ. https://www.news.com.au/sport/football/australia-partners-with-indonesia-for-shock-world-cup-bid/news-story/7fcb6c5d239ec79753ff9b8728a725fd
Is this option strong enough? Should we refer to the 2026 WC. We can see that as strong in economy, culture, infer-structure and pollical power as USA, a partnership with Mexico and Canada is required.
One has to note that, unlike Qatar 2022 WC, the tournament has expanded from 32 t0 48 teams.
Mirroring the 2026 WC, Australia/NZ partnering with only Indonesia may not be strong enough. That would mean another option below.
Option 2, AUS/NZ partnering with Indonesia and Malasia/Singapore together.
Firstly, take a look at the list of Malasia’s stadia. They have 7 stadia of capacity equal or bigger than 40k seats. Of those 7 stadia, 2 are having the capacity above 80k seats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stadiums_in_Malaysia
One may wonder, why Singapore must be included as a bidder as they provide only 1 big stadium. In this regard, there are several factors. For instance, it is like Australia relating to NZ as Singapore is related to Malasia historically and geographically.
In the sense of political and economical power, Singapore is very influential in the south-east region of Asia. Also, Singapore is an aviation hub in Southeast Asia.
Concerning time zone, Singapore/Malaysia is just one hour late.
The disadvantage of this option is that, if Singapore is included, the number of governing bodies in big to hinder unanimous ideas.
In conclusion, there can be three alternatives. They are:
Australia, NZ, Indonesia
Australia, NZ, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore
Australia, NZ, Indonesia, Malaysia

Seems the squad is good enough but the coach, Gustavsson, is ordinary.
He always plays the same lining up. For a good side as talent as England in the mid, the formation should be 5-4-1.
It is very apparent that Matildas play long balls and defence-and-counter-attack in this tournament. It is a smart strategy but more cunning details are need to be succesful.
People may say defence and counter attack is not advance. But as good as Japan in slick short passing and shooting skill, they ends up only in top 8. Possessing football should be used in club matches for training up and development, not for tournaments.
In 202, Kerr can still play and Fowler is only 24 then. Winning the World Cup is possible. However, an even better is needed,
Should the coach have done better in the 2022 Women Asian Cup, the whole squad and the coaching team may have developed into a more superior this year to win the World Cup.
Anyhow, can the team and the coach advance sufficiently to play in the 2027 Women World Cup?
Has the coach to be replaced?

The cost of a day of public holiday:
For engineers, projects have been assigned. Cost to the consultant firm is small.
For scientists, it is more or less the same as the engineers.
For builders, many are subcontracted. So, the influence is small in costs.
For childcare centres, yes, care givers are to be paid. +++
For restaurant owners, they can do more business. In turn, they should pay more tax. —
For teachers and students, no big influences as one day of holiday would not change much.
For public servents, like policemen, doctors, nurses, officers, etc, they are paid by the governments. +++
Some may gain from the one day public holiday while governments have to paid.
Albo can stick his public holiday - funding Australian football fairly is a far better idea
Sydney was just lucky to win the Australia Cup.
Firstly, there was no good venue available in Brisbane or Gold Coast at that time.
Secondly, Hore lost hand ball penalty accidently in the second half in that finale.
