Just flicked the FTA channels and watching the U17 World Cup semi final between England and Brazil. Some nice football. Ouru17s nowhere near these boys.

We don't even have an under 17's competition at NPL level. Goes from 16 to 18 so we loose a lot of players at this age.

Hopefully that will change soon..

England beat Brazil (game I watched) crowd was about 60,000 in India.

Spain beat Mali (didn't watch this one)

So final between England and Spain.

England's youth teams are killing it at all levels at the moment. Interesting to see if these players carry it on to the senior team.

Apparently there are two Melbourne City Football Clubs. One is Heartless and the other a third tier club which originated in  the Argentinean community in Melbourne.  

Heartless tried to trademark their club and emblem and were rejected in the Trademarks Office.

Attendance at the Westpac Stadium for the NZ vs Peru Intercontinental Playoff was about 34,000. 

That's about 6 times a normal Phoenix crowd.

Would be curious how many are from Wellington, and how many came just for the game? Do or die qualifier means the die hard fans will travel.

Geez that legal language is hard to follow

Wasn't sure where to put this.

Kiwi's look gone v Peru...down 2-0 after 75 min....Peru most likely to be the last team to qualify for 2018 WC Finals.

[sonar]

Kiwi's GORN...lose 2-0

[luisenrique]

Might have been different if Wood had been fit, the only times the Kiwis looked dangerous over both legs were when he was on.

The story on why he got sacked, initial post in Spanish

I know it's not going to happen but **** it would be fun to get Bielsa.

Probably the first time in his career that he'd set up a team more conservatively than his predecessor.

Came across this and thought it was interesting. The boy's a Wanderer, so if you like, share.

Interesting to see what some of the leagues around the world are earning.

Also interesting how much AFL players are getting paid per game (more than the MLS, J-League and Scottish Premier league) considering how much government money they seem to be gifted...

English FA reviewing Lukuku action in match against Brighton.

this took my eye so apply the punishment to Matt Simon

Violent conduct is a crime generally punished by a three-match ban, although the length of suspension can sometimes be even longer depending on the severity of the attack.

[GunnerWanderer]

Yeah and no surprise a Man U player gets off for random kicking best described as donkey like behaviour 

If that was costa would have been 4 games but no we can't touch the sacred fergie club
