This is to advise I will not be attending the #Qatar2022 @FIFAWorldCup as a funded 'fan guest' of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy. My statement provided here outlines the details for this decision, which reflects my personal values and various factors. #GoSocceroos

The CommBank Matildas were defeated 1-0 by Japan in a hard-fought battle in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™ final. 📰 Read the match report & watch the highlights. #Matildas #HowWeWaltz #TilitsDone #AFCWomensAsianCup #WAC2026 matildas.com.au/news/commbank-…

🚨Amid Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, children in Southern Gaza Strip are turning to music to cope with the trauma. A newly formed girls’ choir is singing among the ruins, using their voices as a small act of hope and resilience in the face of a war that has not stopped

Melbourne City FC is deeply saddened by the passing of former Head Coach Rado Vidosic. Rado was a hugely respected figure whose impact on our Club and Australian football will be felt for many years to come. Our thoughts are with the Vidosic family and all who knew him 🩵

Eddie Thomson did for a 17 year old Harry Kewell, now Tony Popovic needs to do something similar with another rising star in 16 year old old #AntonioArena - select him for our @Socceroos in the March window. @simonhill1894 @VinceRugari

@footynews129 @Socceroos e.g. Behich not included was a massive oversight

@Socceroos How exactly did Popovic get this job? An absolutely mediocre coach with no attacking system. Tonight, plays a back 5 (no attacking FB’s either) and 2 defensive mids lol.

FT: Defeat in New York City. #COLvAUS #Socceroos #ForeverGolden

FT | Collecting the win in Canada 🍁👏 Nestory Irankunda's second-half finish extends our unbeaten run to 11 matches under Tony Popovic 🙌💪 #Socceroos #CANvAUS #ForeverGolden

Just received this from my friend Bonita Mersiades caught in #snowstorm between Armidale and Uralla on Northern Tablelands of NSW @BOM_NSW

Thank you Football!

@asothdotcom $800 million plus for a new stadium and the State government/Trust couldn’t even get the pitch right!

Mark Aubrey has released a statement on the Allianz pitch situation, with it looking likely Sydney will be playing away from the SFS in 2025/26. #SydneyIsSkyBlue

Propelled by the ‘Trump doctrine’, an acceleration of militarisation expenditure across the globe will come with huge costs. It will risk funding for climate action, health, education, economic and community development, & including aid for developing nations in these key areas.

@laligafrauds @Newells_en 😂😂😂🙄

@Newells_en This is not impressive. He is only doing touches with his left foot. If I was the coach I would have told Messi off for not practising his weak foot. I don't understand how Barcelona could have signed such a clearly limited player

Footage of a 9-year-old Lionel Messi doing kick-ups on the El Coloso pitch. The crowd chants "Marado, Marado", already comparing him to Maradona. Messi's "Machine of 87" team had won the 1996 Copa de la Amistad in Peru & were presented to the fans. (📽️ Matías Sauro YouTube)

Well, what a great way to finish - congrats to the @Socceroos - 6 straight World Cups! 👏 And thanks for this guys in Jeddah - much appreciated ⬇️ 🙏

@simonhill1894 @Socceroos Congratulations and thank you Simon for over two decades of wonderful contributions to our game in Australia, and best wishes for your next career steps back in your homeland - bon voyage! @aleaguemen

@hotspurreports fans of the Brisbane Roar, Australia’s Socceroos, Yokohama F Marinos and Celtic will all tell you what a legendary head coach/manager Ange is - he’s a big loss for Spurs and will soon be a huge gain for another big club somewhere in Europe or maybe the EPL

Anyone else still thinking about the Ange sacking? 😐

@mbenga_dj @VinceRugari anything is possible, but I’m sure he’ll be approached with many offers including some of the bigger leagues in Europe

Ange will land on his feet. But Spurs have made an enormous mistake in sacking him smh.com.au/sport/soccer/a…

@pmens72 @DavidJack20 yes indeed including Harry Williams, the first Indigenous player at a World Cup

The 1974 squad did but we know Australian soccer started in 2005

🥺 Whilst on holiday in Greece, a fan handed this letter to Ange Postecoglou and a bottle of wine, thanking him for the UEFA Europa League win. Ange ensured he sought out the fan and made sure to give him a signed shirt to thank him for his gift. @TheAthleticFC
