@PLFC2025 @joeylynchy @NPLcasual The prime time games were also the most attended by far, but they were only Friday nights. The earlier kick off times also suck for what is essentially a summer tournament.

@joeylynchy @NPLcasual If they don’t change the time slots and give it more prime time they really just don’t care.

Football Australia has released the 2026-27 domestic calendar, confirming that the second season of the Australian Championship will start on October 16 -- the same date as the commencement of the A-League Men and A-League Women seasons.

@jaddeyekabir @dav64635 @MattZeitlin Visited last year for a family wedding and respectfully disagree, Ditmars is very Greek, lots Greek born and Greek descent. I stayed just off 23rd ave and could barely walk 30 feet without hearing Greek spoken. "Practically gone" is misleading.

@dav64635 @MattZeitlin There are very few Greece-born Greeks in Astoria anymore and even its Greek-American population is practically gone. Astoria still gives a vague impression of being a Greek neighborhood only because Greeks still own lots of businesses and real estate there.

the freakout about the immigrant enclave map really stresses how much people's view of new york city is frozen in the godfather part ii flashback scenes and thereabouts. we are simply not a city of non-anglo european recent immigrants and their children anymore

@77Gtg87893 @CommisionerGen They've conceeded just as many late goals as well to cough up points. Not sure why the hatred, good club with good people that busts their asses. Lets not pretend they have a wage bill thats anywhere near comparable to Juve.

@CommisionerGen Does anyone actually want northcote promoted 😂 they’ve fluked their way to this position with so many last minute lucky winners give me three real clubs with a fanbase

#NPL Green Gully has been mismanaged and dissapointing to see a once powerful club struggle. They will go down along with Bentleigh Greens and Dandenong Thunder. Greens losing the stable coaching combination of Tolios and Billy T will haunt Greens for many years to come.

@mivkaa @smfcmike Last year was around 3k i think. This one should double it.

@smfcmike Should be the most attended Dockerty Cup final in quite some time

I want to support VIC⚽️ (& encourage anyone else thinking/able to do so too) so I will 🤞 hopefully attend what is a mouthwatering #DockertyCup final match up! I can report that two colleagues who like #AFL footy have come across this match & have already bought 🎫s. This is a promising sign for what will hopefully be a big attendance no? 🤔 👊⚽️ #NPLMVIC #AusChampionship #OFCProLeague #SMHellas #SMFC #AustraliaCup #MagicOfTheCup #DockertyCup #ALeague #ALM #ALW #Matildas #Socceroos #TilItsDone #DifferentBreed #ForeverGolden #FIFA

@tonester27 @stepen14 Are we going to pretend that Sinner wasnt bailed out as well earlier in the tournament?

@stepen14 How many walkovers in Australia 🇦🇺???? Let’s check

People saying that Novak beating Sinner in Australia was a fluke, forget that Novak played much better there than in Wimbledon. I think most people that watched Wimbledon could agree that he never actually played well. In Australia he could stay with Sinner in the rallies.

@screetsie @fednanen A bit of closterbol always helps as well

@fednanen A bad day can happen, he just needed a very normal performance to steamroll the undeserving fraud. Sorry faker, no loser to gift you the match today, have a good flight home. 👋🏻👋🏻🤡🤡

Many doubted you after Australia but you saved the sport once again from evil 🇮🇹 FORZA SINNER

@CookaFTBL @PPetrov_FR Cocks doesnt have the defensive attributes to make the step up.

@PPetrov_FR Do you think many clubs are looking at Arran Cocks or Jyden Harb ?

Time to get back to local Aus football, now that the Roos are out of the WC. Marcus Humbert (21) is a well-rounded #8, who can influence games in all-phases. Having a good season in NPL Victoria. Plug-n-play A-League midfielder. Profiles as a good Sam Klein replacement at Roar.

@PLFC2025 @mivkaa @footballvic I think Heidelberg will, if Preston sell out the other end i think they will be given the outer wing (the one dandy city had at last years npl grand final). About 6,000 seats both ends so it will be a great effort if both pack it out.

@JamesT2129 @mivkaa @footballvic Who gets the home grandstand? 🧐

Credit to @footballvic for having the foresight to change the venue to Lakeside to befit such an occasion. We all know that in the past we have had some shocking venue choices for Grand Finals and Cup Finals and with very late notice as well so for FV to come out immediately announcing Lakeside as the venue is one of the best decisions I’ve seen them make 👏👏

@mivkaa Final at Lakeside will be a good one. Very hard to pick a winner, Preston looked atrocious until Bonada came on.

It’s the New Balance Dockerty Cup Semi Final tonight at Larissa Reserve. North Sunshine Eagles who sit 13th in VPL1 and are 8 points from safety. They are winless in their past 6 games but they will be confident going into tonight’s match having dispatched Avondale in the previous round to reach tonight’s Semi Final. Preston are coming off a dramatic last minute win on the weekend and they make 6 changes to their starting XI. Zach Lisolajski makes his debut, Matt Bozinovski returns after a 6 week injury absence. Daniel Lazarevski is on the bench who has been injured since their last cup game against George Cross. Absolute bumper crowd building here, join me and @stevencurtain from 7:45pm on the @footballvic YouTube page

@mr_crazz @ESPNAusNZ We scored 2 goals in 4 games, settled down.

@ESPNAusNZ Australia should have easily beat this team and Belgium just pressed them a little then stung them in close as their defence collapsed. Thanks to the useless antics of Popovic though we took a sharp nose dive.

Craig Foster had this one ready! 😂 How you feeling after that, Socceroos fans? #FIFAWorldCup

@Sachk0 Dont understand the fixation with this bloke. He said the US are better than the Socceroos and was proven correct. Beyond that nothing to see here. We scored 3 goals they scored 11. We are miles behind them and they are miles behind the top tier.

Mike Grella said Australia had "no shot of doing anything at the World Cup", didn't he? What did the USA do exactly? In the words of old mate, "there’s levels". Spare a thought for him and Alexi, please.

@CynicalAsian @SrSittingBull @MaikLeventis Thats pretty much what i said. Senegal should have knocked out Belgium comfortably.

@JamesT2129 @SrSittingBull @MaikLeventis Senegal is a tough team, they deserve more credit. Look at their qualifier bracket: they went against both Norway AND France, two juggernauts in this tournament. If the USMNT were in that bracket, they would be cooked from the start.

The beauty about the yanks being knocked out is that we can all go back to watching the game in peace without hearing ‘I’m new to soccer, but what if they put a hot spot ring on the field and if you score a goal from there it’s worth 10 points’ takes. #USABEL

@SrSittingBull @MaikLeventis They played very well but against Senegal they were rubbish and should have been 4 down, goes to show every game is different.

@JamesT2129 @MaikLeventis It had zero impact. Belgium was always going to murk them.

@SrSittingBull @MaikLeventis Any time the orange clown gets involved in something it backfires, had this game as 50/50 until he got involved.

@MaikLeventis Yeah but we don’t have our politicians overturning red cards. Gamo tin Ameriki tous.

@PaulMavroudis Well priced, i guess you cant over do it when you're competing with a game that will have 80,000 at the G.

I don't know if it was South's decision or Football Australia's, but $20 for an adult ticket (plus booking fee) is a shockingly reasonable price. Honestly, I was expecting a bit more exploitation. #AustraliaCup #magicofthecup

@nplphilanthropy The same clause was used to overturn the 2 game ban Ronaldo was meant to serve at this WC after his straight red against Ireland in Portugals last qualifier.

I don’t know where to start. How can FIFA undermine the powers of referees like this? Corruption at its finest. First it was Omar Artan, just because Trump is anti-Somali. Now, any referee on the pitch can be overruled if Trump likes. The game we loved has truly left us.

@Phil08492478146 @PLFC2025 @NPLVicID @77Gtg87893 Did you see 2 saves he made at the end? Absolute world class, denying Fornaroli no less. I think thr 2nd goal was poorly defended all round, most teams struggle with those in this league.

@JamesT2129 @PLFC2025 @NPLVicID @77Gtg87893 If you said gun strikers, then yes, keepers were irrelevant in this game. Gibson saved a top chance from Zinni. Scott uncharacteristically made 1, possibly 2 errors today.

GAME OF THE SEASON. 🤯😳 What have we just witnessed at Avenger Park? A statement 3-2 comeback win for the Preston Lions. 4 wins in a row 👀 #NPLMVIC #NPLVIC

@Phil08492478146 @PLFC2025 @NPLVicID @77Gtg87893 One team has a gun keeper and the other doesnt was the difference. They absolutely should not have lost that game, worst case draw. You cant be conceeding 95th and 98th minute.

@PLFC2025 @JamesT2129 @NPLVicID @77Gtg87893 Not sure what game he was watching. Avondale definitely did not deserve a win in this game on the balance.

@Phil08492478146 @NPLVicID @77Gtg87893 A draw would have been about right but Avondale should not be coughing up 2 goals like that. The 3rd was comical that they didnt leave any players back.

@JamesT2129 @NPLVicID @77Gtg87893 I think you're being disrespectful to Preston. We should have scored before Avondale scored. Also, Scott was at fault for 1, possibly 2 goals. Preston deserved a draw at minimum. Ultimately a fitting result in my opinion.
