FIFA don't allow it before the game as its a form/sign of aggression/intimation so its only done after matches.

I believe this is going to be a great match, New Zealand will bring it on and prob get the early goal first. I think they will win the first match 3-1.

Glory vs Nix! The no one cares derby is happening. 3-1 Nixs!

I wanna rematch with Sth Melbourne!! Wellington have unfinished business!!!!!

Surely the APL can ask for more money for the extension to happen.

The APL would be pretty stupid or desperate to lock in another 3 years without having options on the table. $200m over 5 years pretty piss poor when you think Foxtel gave them a $350m over 4 year deal before covid and the APL have to pay for production cost of airing the A-League. The rumor was...

I reckon the FA want to push the NST to the top and have it viewed on FTA CH10, I think they no the ALM is a sinking ship.

Anyone expecting Iran to get banned from the World Cup? They just dropped two bomb off over Oman.

Canberra a bit far from me so i will be watching on TV, Aus 2-5 NZ over 2 legs.

New Zealand play Norway in Oct, We def could use a decent friendly of that caliber in our windows. You are right we do need to be playing better quality opponents in the lead up to the world cup. As mentioned though playing NZ would be good to get some of the fringe players a run. We have a lot...

On current form NZ would beat us hands down, I look forward to the game if the Socceroo's do play them.

Looking at some of these teams from CONCACAF even Jamica there pretty piss poor, I wouldn't be surprised if New Caledonia gets a win over one of them in the play offs.

$200m over 5 years was the last deal which was a massive drop from Foxtel's original deal of $350 over 4 years (Before COVID). Viewing figures for the ALM have been better then last season but have also not rating at all some weeks but overall they where up around %11. However where does this...

Other then the Nix and Auckland will there be another ALM clubs with players at the world cup?

Does anyone know how much the FA get for the Socceroo's qualifying for the 2026 world cup? Back in 2022 they got $1.5m just for qualifying and a further $13m for getting to the R16. So with 48 teams and more group games anyone know the figures?

Maybe with the extra funding now the FA can get the Socceroo's some good friendly matches at home!. Sure i wanna see us play NZ again pre world cup but games against Uruguay or Brazil would be awesome in Australia. I get it has to be financial viable opponents to sell tickets but when was the...

I dont think the FA have taken over the APL, just going by what we know is speculation with next season having a strick $3m cap for all clubs going forward this is obverse that they have failed at getting a better TV deal for next year. Ever since the ALM started the salary cap has never been...

So i take it Subway was $10m over 3 years. just over $3.5m a year.

The Socceroos have secured their biggest sponsorship deal, with American-owned fast food company Subway to become the national team’s naming rights sponsor as part of an overall three-year contract with Football Australia reportedly worth more than $10 million.

FA must be laughing all the way to the bank!!! $10 -15m a year is great, now only if the APL can get there shit together.
