I've copied this directly from Joey Lynch's ESPN article. The full article is on the ESPN Australia site. Across an extended conversation with media ahead of another trip to Europe, Popovic spoke on several issues confronting the national side, confirming, amongst other developments, that...

Aiden O'Neil not in the squad for Standard Liege. Listed on FotMob as still injured. Sebastian Esposito another full game for Lecce U20 in Primavera 1. Listed as playing LB, which is very unusual because he has been playing all season as RCB, and generally doing quite well there. Maybe the...

I think it was Joey Lynch writing for ESPN. He was quoting (or maybe paraphrasing) from the Popovic press conference mid week.

Strain starting v Rangers. I can't see it mentioned earlier, but Craig Goodwin a full game for Al-Wehda and 2 assists in a 2-2 result. Rated MOTM on FotMob (8.3) and also rated well on Sofascore (7.5).

Devlin starting for Hearts Davidson starting (and captain) for Panserraikos.

Raphael Rodrigues bench for Coventry. Silvera bench for Blackpool. Maynard-Brewer starting for Charlton. Bilokapic starting for Peterborough.

You can't. BeIn don't have the rights anymore and no other broadcaster took them up for Australia. YouTube only has highlights, not full match replays.

Thanks. I thought that might be the case but I wasn't sure.

Elder starting, Glover starting, no Bennie for QPR

Waddingham bench for Portsmouth

Chris Donnell played a full game and scored for Fulham U21 in a 1-1 draw with Nordsjaelland U21 in the U21 Premier League International Cup. Marcus Neill started for Sunderland U18 v Nottingham Forest U18. Gethin Jones started for Bolton v Huddersfield.

Agreed. But it did get him 14 minutes as a sub in one game plus a couple of caps for Malta in the Nations League.

And lower down the pyramid too! Which is great for me because it lets me keep up not just with the team in Qld NPL that I am interested in, but also the the Qld PL1 grassroots team in Brisbane whose fortunes I also like to follow.

Thanks for this explanation. I did read up FotMob's rating methodology some little while ago. I'm not a fan! That's why I prefer the Sofascore ratings. To my mind, Sofascore more truly reflects what I see more often than does FotMob, especially when there is considerable divergence in the...

On FotMob. On Sofa score he rated 6.9, below most others in the team. Sometimes there are quite divergent ratings between Sofascore and FotMob, although usually they rate reasonably closely. I prefer Sofascore ratings. It's a personal preference, I haven't done any rigorous analysis of matches...

Mine is like that also. It seems to be ok if I turn Dark Mode off. Which I don't really want to do.

NP. I agree it's still a weird move, I can only assume motivated by money and a promise of more playing time than he was getting at AaB. The only Australian player of recent times that I can recall moving on to slightly bigger things from K League 2 is Ryan Edwards, who went from Busan to...

No, that listing is before the season starts. It's just alphabetical at this stage. The season starts late February. The team finished in 3rd place last season.

Paul Okon- Engstler subbed on at 85' for Benfica B in Liga Portugal 2 Craig Goodwin a full game for Al-Wehda Cameron Devlin subbed off at 87' for Hearts in the Scottish Cup Ryan bench again for Roma Al Hassan Toure not in the squad for Ajaccio

Sebastian Esposito to start for Lecce U20 v Roma U20 in Primavera 1.
