womens soccer what a snoozefest, and we have to deal with that obnoxious USA team coming over

Fail. Must try harder.

What will be interesting will be which FTA broadcaster gets the rights. Something tells me that SBS won't win the rights and it would go to a major FTA network.

I reckon it'll be SBS and Foxtel. 7 and 9 will have competing sports when it's on, ABC doesn't do sport and 10 is for teenagers.

Naming yourself after a wife beater. Slick mofo.

Optus who will farm it out to someone. Hopefully SBS who would give it the respect it deserves.

1/10 - needs original material.

But it's true that women's soccer is a bit shit.

If Megan Rapinoe was serious about getting equal pay she would be pushing for women to be able to play alongside men in mixed teams. She doesn't because she knows she wouldn't get a game.

How sad must your life be that you take time out of your day to troll people who are really excited about something.

Australia will automatically qualify as a host nation. Do New Zealand also automatically qualify or can there be only one host nation who automatically qualifies in a joint-bid?

Both Australia and New Zealand automatically qualify as hosts!

Interesting. Looks like Milicic may not be locked in to Macarthur FC as much as I thought he was. I still hope he goes. He is not a good coach.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Milicic has three weeks to decide between Matildas or Macarthur

Ante Milicic has three weeks to decide whether to lead the Matildas to the Olympics and FIFA Women’s World Cup, or stay the course with A-League newcomers Macarthur Bulls.

I rate Milicic. He should have got the Melbourne Heart job ahead of Aloisi back in the day. Was Popovic's number 2 when they won the ACL and was on his way to coach in Croatia when he got the Matildas call. Then again he may one of these types that's a great coach but not a great manager.

For purely romantic reasons wouldn't mind NZ coach Tommy Sermanni make a comeback like the prodigal son he is. We've stolen things of New Zealand before.

Do FIFA sell these rights? Will the local admin get a say?
Are these things clean in world soccer?

Can SBS or the ABC pay enough?

So many questions, sorry !!

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

SBS and Foxtel are broke ass.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Heard that if Milicic goes, Montemurro will be on top of the wishlist. But he also being courted by the Lionesses.

Surely if he was available they should be chasing him regardless of what Milicic wants?

Catley joins Foord at Arsenal.



Kyah Simon signs with PSV Eindhoven.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

According to the Matildas website, Simon will be teammates with Amy Harrison, who joined PSV in April.

[swingdog]

There's a real rush on.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

PSV Eindhoven has posted an interview with Kyah Simon to its Instagram page.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Suggestion this morning on social media that Mackenzie Arnold has signed with West Ham but I have not found anything official.

If it is true, then there are only EVE and Kennedy in the NWSL and since Orlando isn't playing the Challenge Cup, there are no Australians involved in that tournament.
