Well done Anthony Carter! I’m curious, would he be the first Aussie to play in the Portuguese Premeira Liga?

I’m sure that’s true. I know the APL set the prices not the clubs for the finals, but for example for the WWS v Vuck game last week, my friend would have gone with his family if the prices were not $260 for a family pack (there were probably some cheaper tickets available but that’s what WSW...

There don’t appear to be any Australians in the squad……..

The A-League clubs really need to reconsider their pricing. We all understand it’s struggle street for most of the clubs, but looking longer term, wouldn’t a crowd of say 15,000 paying an average of $25 a ticket be better than a crowd of 7,500 paying an average of $50 a ticket? Surely the...

Max Burgess (no surprise there) and Kucharski released by Sydney FC. Milanovic to Aberdeen on a 4 year contract, not sure that’s the best move for him.

Taking a long bus trip somewhere?

Fark, that’s expensive

Teagan Micah has been let go by Liverpool and so is currently unattached to any club

We’ll allow it!

With a crowd of maybe 6K (like Brisbane at Suncorp), maybe it’s a good thing? Maximise the television optics

Stajcic being a sore loser?

Good to know. I thought it was because even though he is Peruvian, he’s a huge Messi fan………

I’ve heard 20k sold now. A friend who is a Wanderers fan said he got a email from the club about tickets, $240 for a family pack!
