Quite the historical World Cup it will be:

- First FIFA World Cup (men or women) to be hosted by two confederations (AFC and OFC)
- First FIFA women's world cup to be hosted in Asia-Pacific
- First FIFA women's world cup in the southern hemisphere

Australia and New Zealand win bid to host 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup

The FIFA Women's World Cup is heading down under, with FIFA President Gianni Infantino backing Australia and New Zealand to deliver the "best world cup ever".

www.sbs.com.au

Eden Park will host the opening match, while ANZ Stadium (regardless of whether it's redeveloped or not) effectively gets the final by default, being the only stadium in the bid book that meets the criteria to host the final.

Locally, Coopers Stadium was a late inclusion in the bid book, so a few matches will be played here (with temporary seating to boost capacity ala the Olympics). None of the matches here will feature Australia one would suspect.

Apparently it's gotten us a $3mil upgrade toi

Can't wait to see an exact copy of this video if Port win the premiership this year.

Party going on.

Well maybe the FA cup is something to look forward to in this dire season as an arsenal fan.

So our home game will be played in western Sydney.

Right.

 

[ams4crows]

Spoken to Adelaide United today and they basically said zero chance of any games being played in Adelaide.

 

[hey shorty]

Which is absolutely ridiculous when you think about it

Dumb, dumb, dumb by the FFA. The SA/NSW border is almost certainly opening on 20 July. Why can the NSW/Qld teams play in their home states but United can't?

Weird situation

 

[skam85]

Wigan in administration

12pt deduction likely. We are 8pts clear of relegation having won six of our last seven games, and 9 clean sheets on the trot.
So need to be 13pts clear with six games remaining.

What was looking to be a nice run to mid-table is now a nightmare.

At least we are experienced in survival (on many fronts this time).

Good to see Leeds back with the big boys, it's been too long.

What they've been through, albeit largely self inflicted.... They deserve to be there.

Bielsa is an EPL manager all over, theyll be fun to watch

16 very long years!!! Up since 3.30am and still buzzing.

A basket case for so long, finally got the right people in the chairs. Have a look at the passion and drive of the Chairman, CEO and Coaches, this was reflected in performances on field.

Some lessons for AFC perhaps?

Would've loved him to coach the Socceroos, but I'm not sure he'd suit the group we have

He deserves better.
Weird why a Barca don't take him on.

He's a loose personality, very firey. Barca usually take the more conservative option.

He's passionate, like guardiola.

Taylor Regan has tipped his former club Adelaide United for success under Carl Veart, and claims the Reds players didn't like his predecessor Gertjan Verbeek.

Once bitten, twice still bitten.

Think we will go local for a while like most clubs

 

[Rabman]

Now hope for Millwall to make the playoffs and get promoted.

Heard during the week Juric potentially if Veart struggles.

Now hope for Millwall to make the playoffs and get promoted.

Unlikely they'd be good enough to make it.

Leeds and Millwall getting promoted in the same season would be kinda crazy though.

I don't mind that option.

The players seem to have taken to Carl though which is good
