It’s #ChampionsLeague time again, and we are now at the business end of proceedings..
Some mouth watering ties this week, with none bigger than #RealMadrid v #BayernMunich tonight.
And can #Arsenal get their season back on track at Sporting?
#UCL #MADBAY #SPOARS #AFC
Interestingly, here in UK it’s starting to happen less and less, even in Premier League.
Much more mixing long balls with short, playing through the lines to make it less predictable.
Is Ben White just completely low on confidence or has he regressed as a RB? Was appalling at Southampton (and for England v Japan).
This was a hugely enjoyable watch last night, and #Southampton deserved it on effort alone.
Great to see the #MagicoftheCup still alive, but worrying for #Arsenal that their 2nd string defense was so poor…

Big congrats to #BrisbaneRoar women, who secured a first finals appearance in 5 years with a 2-1 away win at Canberra just now.
After finishing the regular season with 3 straight wins, Alex Smith’s side have now earned a home elimination final with Adelaide on w/e 24-26 April..
#ALW #BRFC
A massive goal for my hometown club #HuddersfieldTown in 96th minute, with Lasse Sorensen rescuing a point at home to fellow play off contenders #Reading .
Not what we wanted, but better than nothing, which looked likely for long periods.
6 games to go, 4 point gap to 6th..
#htafc #EFL #utt
McGree playing is a surprise given he played for Australia in Melbourne on Tuesday!
Big worries in West London, with #Chelsea announcing huge losses.
Lots of rumours flying around about disgruntled (non-playing) staff and chaos behind the scenes..

Young striker Niall Thom - who scored on his debut in mid March - is back in the #BrisbaneRoar side to face #SydneyFC at Suncorp tonight.
He’s preferred to Justin Vidic in what looks like a 4-3-3 from coach Valkanis. Henry Hore back in too in a must win for the Queenslanders..
#ALM #BRIvSYD #BRFC
So big news (for me at least) with this email from FIFA today confirming my media accreditation for #FIFAWorldCup2026 !
Having commentated at Women’s World Cup in Australia 3 years ago, it’s been a dream to be involved at the men’s version.
And now it seems like it’s happening! 😀
#Socceroos
Yeah, not really..
Incredible stat from CBS’s @jamesbenge.bsky.social on how bad it’s got for #Italy , as they tumble out of another #WorldCupplayoff after defeat in #Bosnia last night.
No Italians at #WorldCup2026 - missing the finals for third time running 😳
Forza Bosnia!
#BOSITA #FIFAWC2026
Rogers, Bellingham, Palmer or even Eze. The problem isn’t 10 it’s 9..
No #Kane for #England tonight (minor issue in training apparently) and Belingham, Saka & Rice already ruled out, so Guehi captains his country.
Will Foden play false nine, will Palmer play on right, will Mainoo & Anderson be able to run midfield?
So many questions..
#ENGJAP #ThreeLions
Young 18 year old centre back Lucas #Herrington starts for #Australia again tonight, just days after making his debut.
Given tonight’s friendly with another #WorldCup2026 hopeful #Curacao is the last chance to impress coach Popovic, could the youngster be on a fast track to USA/Canada?
#Socceroos
This is a refreshing change - a major tournament planning to charge reasonable prices for tickets!
Well done #UEFA 👏👏
Are you listening #FIFA ?

Look out for Turkey in that group (if they overcome Kosovo on Tuesday). Some big names (Guler?) and may end up topping Group D..
#worldcup26 #USMNT #Socceroos
A big night for this young Aussie centre back on Friday, with the 18 year old making his #Socceroos debut against Cameroon in Sydney.
He more than played his part in contributing to a clean sheet in a 1-0 win.
It’s just 15mths since he made his debut for #BrisbaneRoar too..
#AUSvCAM #Herrington
My latest for @roundballaus.bsky.social today on the rise of young #BrisbaneRoar striker Daisy Brown ⬇️
Features exclusive quotes from Daisy (who i spoke with this earlier this week) & Roar COO Zac Anderson.

Big game in Cardiff tonight as #Wales take on #Bosnia in a one off World Cup qualifier, and this guy may be the key.
Winners earn the right to play either Italy or NI at home next Tuesday for a spot at #FIFAWorldCup2026!

So what do you think of this - right decision?
And where does Salah rank in the history of Liverpool players?
Would love to hear the view from Liverpool fans..

So what did we think of the #AFCWomensAsianCup?
Here are my thoughts, which feature on the review of the tournament by Aussie women’s football podcast @thedubcast.bsky.social .
Check out my colleagues thoughts on the tournament when the podcast drops tomorrow!
#WAC2026 #Matildas #AFC
Carragher’s summary of #Spurs yesterday is spot on.
Have a watch if you like - it’s like watching Hansen in his prime (younger viewers may need to Google him!).
Can Tottenham stay up? Is Redknapp the answer?

So both reserve keepers are in the lineup for the #CarabaoCup final at Wembley this afternoon.
No Dias for #ManCity or Eze for #Arsenal - both nursing injuries picked up in Europe midweek.
Gunners going for 1st trophy of possible quadruple..
#ARSMCI #AFC #MCFC
Caitlin Foord could (maybe should) have had a hattrick in that first half.
#Matildas need to finish their chances, as Japan won’t keep presenting them too often..
The scene is set for #AFCAsianCup final in Sydney (image courtesy of a mate at the game).
Can the #Tillies overcome a #Japan side ranked 7 places above them in the FIFA rankings?
A nation expects..

England squad for next week’s friendlies against Uruguay & Japan drops today, and this article covers Tuchel’s options.
Big question is who plays at 10, with Rogers, Bellingham, Palmer & even Foden & Eze in the mix.
Who do you pick?

So the #Socceroos squad for upcoming friendlies has dropped..👀
Great to see ex Roar players Kai Trewin & Lucas Herrington getting national team recognition.

🤷♂️
The crazy world of African football continues…
I watched this final back in Jan & #Senegal did act bizarrely. However, to strip them of the title & hand to the hosts #Morocco seems very dubious.
Surely a fine or points penalty next #AFCON would suffice?
