Stiff not to make roos side. Scoring a motza lately

Sainsbury looking out of shape. Just needs more and more minutes to burn off that belly.

Crowd just confirmed as 68,274, a stadium record for any sport.

Bit different to 11k in Bournemouth!

Smith off on the 61 minute mark, shortly after they went up 1-0. Currently 2-0.

Fair point, though these two only here because of huge upsets over LA and Atlanta. Hate salary caps, though this time more a matter of upsets than anything else. LAFC was best team in MLS history that laid an egg against underdog Sounders, and Atlanta under Frank de Boer terrible in match against Toronto. 

Brad Smith is now the first Australian to win the MLS Cup! 🏆

His loan deal with Seattle is over - meaning he could return to Premier League side Bournemouth next week.

Whatever club gives him games - he should go there. We all saw what happens when you start players who are actually playing at their club and players who don't play at their club.

It was a cup game against lowly opposition, so it's not that strange to give him a rest. He always plays in the league.

Demi Juric scored a pen yesterday.

He now has 8 goals and 4 assists in 13 matches in the Croatian second division. Surely he’d have to be on Arnie’s radar for the Olyroos squad.

Tomi must be teaching him the art of the flop

OHHH MYYY GOOD AND HE ACTUALLY PLAYED. THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN TO PLAY IN A GAME

Some really well taken goals in that game. lol

Murray Miller (17) started and played a full game in Rangers’ 5-0 thrashing of Celtic in the Scottish Youth Cup. 

Anyone know anything about this guy?

Milislav Popovic made his first appearance in yonks. He got 13 mins off the bench for the reserves.

Has played in junior national teams recently 

came through WSW's youth system. 

Good to see him fit again. Quite clinical when fit and served well. 

some news that brighton are shopping for a replacement for maty ryan in goal 
https://www.footballinsider247.com/brighton-and-palace-chase-goalkeeper-in-wolves-match/

so this is like a grand final?

I thought he was one of their most established players?? That's weird 

Just Brighton setting themselves up long term. I'd trust Ryan to sort a move pretty quickly if he were replaced. 

‘Replacement’ was a word used by Bundoora Brah, not the article.

Brighton have terrible depth in their GK options beneath Maty so wouldn’t surprise me if they strengthened there, but Maty is definitely sticking around and the #1 spot is his. 

Correct.

They call their finals the MLS Cup, perhaps to appease "purists".

that's pretty funny. i didnt understand what all the fuss was about.

i know i can just google this. but do they have a 9 game play off or something like the NBA?

id be a bit worried. the guy is considered one of the biggest gk prospects in europe.

ryan is doing a great job at it. very suited to graham potter's style.

I don't think Maty will be too worried. The guy hasn't done much and he has already seen off Tim Krul.

Thanks guys.

Ben Folami started for Ipswich in a Football League Trophy game.

That’s huge for the lad. Hopefully it’s the first step towards a return to the starting XI. 

Supposedly he played well too which is great for his confidence going into
this U/23 camp. Would be great if he could get some senior minutes off the bench before the u/23 tournament in January so that his confidence is up.
