Mrcela vs Jurman today at 4pm as the K-League kicks off.  Jovanovic also playing at 6pm for Jeju against Seoul

None of them in the match squads. Jurman's injured apparently, not sure about the others. Chapman should be ready.


By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

Good measure to compare Ikon is his old teammate Keita Baldé Diao who is the same age, same academy... except Keita is now one of the best young strikers in europe. If you aren't playing regularly at 20 you need to come home or start playing regularly at a level you can handle. Too many kids happy to sit on the bench. Ikon is 3 years behind everyone else in his age group now.

Except before going to Lazio at 16, Balde spent 7 years at La Masia, the best football academy in the world (at the time) whereas Ikon spent 4 years at Cronulla RSL (wot) and 3 years at Sutherland Sharks before moving to Atalanta at 17 and Lazio at 18. Hardly an apples to apples comparison.

He had surgery on his groin last November, but I thought he was recovered from that? Either way if he's not playing due to injury or simply not being selected it is concerning this close to the WC. He will be underdone.

Transfermarkt still has him listed as injured, although I'm not sure how often that updates.

Ahh ok. But they were both the same age playing in the same primavera team and Ikon was doing quite well. Except Diao was able to make the jump and Ikon can't.

Hasn't yet. They didn't give him a five-year contract for nothing.

He is standing out in the A-league for a very average Wanderers side. Too early to judge him just yet but the potential is there.

Currently 1-0 down with 20 mins to go. Had 70% possession and 0 shots on target, sounds like the national team.

Would be some pretty decent exposure over a 2 year period. I actually feel even League One is a better option due to the number of matches. It gives players a higher chance of game time and a lot of league one players make it to the Championship.

Griffiths played 90 minutes for Pakhtakor, 2-0 win.  Incidentally, they were also in the ACL playoffs but lost to Al Gharafa (Wesley Sneijder scored).

Just had the most reliable mate on the planet send me a WhatsApp video of his TV. Borello gets it from around 30 out and volleys long and outward and the keeper is powerless.

That is one of the holiest goals in Australian football. Same goal where we scored all 3 against Japan. Interesting fact, we conceded and scored all goals at the same end in Kaiserslautern. 

Jedinak scored the cracking free kick down the other end in the friendly. I can't recommend Kaiserslautern for a match day enough. Such a great little place. The US MPs walking around are a bit of a novelty.

That's 8 assists in all comps including penalties won and 3 goals if I'm not mistaken outstanding performance

Kruse leckie and borello on the plane for mine

Mabil ruka Golgol petratos nabbout Arzani all fighting for the 4th wing spot
