sorry to be that person but in light of the FA/Kerr statement I'm dropping this one here again www.espn.com.au/football/sto...

Reece James refusing to celebrate. Must've played for Latvia back in the day.

For @ESPNAsia in Hangzhou; Ryan Teague has been in demand as of late, fielding interest from both China and Malaysia amid a breakout A-League Men campaign. But for the recently called-up midfielder, his future only ever lay with the #Socceroos. 🔗: www.espn.com.au/soccer/story... .

In @espnaustralia.bsky.social; As far as footballing analysis goes, that goals change games isn't the most cutting of insights; just above the ball is round and the grass is green when it comes to stating the obvious. But that really was the case on Thursday. 🔗: www.espn.com.au/football/sto... .

Severence finale. 🤯

Before the win over Southampton, Arne Slot said “the real” Darwin Núñez” was back. A goal, some missed chances and a reckless challenge later, it’s hard to argue with that. A piece on a player who continues to have fans on the edge of their seats. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

The AFL doesn't often admit fault, but this week's season launch disaster is proof the 'Opening Round' concept needs to be scrapped for good, writes Jake Michaels. READ 📝: http://spr.ly/6005LvuTV

Real Madrid v Atletico tonight. Massive game. Madrid looked like they'd sorted themselves out after the City playoff. More questions now, though: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

I was trying to make this point the other day. I loved The West Wing but, watching it now, it might as well be science fiction. There are zero strands connecting it with reality anymore.

I see the AFL have invented climate denial now 🙄🙄🙄

Melbourne Victory has confirmed an agreement with A-CAP to complete the full divestment of 777 Partners from the A-Leagues club. @espnaustralia.bsky.social

In the history of professional sport throughout the world, there would be but a handful of coaches who have retired on their own terms, Craig Bellamy has earned that privilege. READ 📝: http://spr.ly/6008Lmd9Q

Kayla Morrison. Bullet header. I'm going to need FIFA, US Soccer, Football Australia or whoever it is responsible for the switch of eligibility hold up to get a move on before the squad for April is named. #WUNvMVC

Top 10 coming Monday at @espnaustralia.bsky.social #AFL 👀 www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/...

Whether you call it a holding pattern, treading water, or standing still, it's not good for the Matildas... www.espn.com.au/soccer/story...

Will Taran Armstrong make it in the NBA?? 🇦🇺 🏀 After earning a well-deserved two-way contract with the Golden State Warriors, ESPN's ESPN's Michael Kruger breaks down why Armstrong's rapid development makes him such an intriguing long-term #NBA prospect!

For the first time since last September, #Socceroos midfielder Connor Metcalfe is back in a St Pauli matchday squad. Jackson Irvine starts and dons the armband again.

If we want to be cheered up tonight, let’s be cheered up by Jackson Irvine‘s live appearance on #Sportstudio. An Australian who lives the values of St. Pauli - solidarity, diversity, equality - that the far right hates. Guter Mann!

In @espnaustralia.bsky.social; “We were outplayed football-wise. We were outplayed physically. We were outplayed mentally. Outplayed on our decision making,” #Matildas 0-4 Japan. Hard to disagree with Tom Sermanni, really. #JPNvAUS 🔗: www.espn.com.au/football/sto... .
