Australia making Harry Souttar at home and happy in the green and gold

Jamie Mclaren scored three as Australia eased to a 5-0 victory over Nepal in their World Cup 2022 qualifier.

Big names from across the A-League launch the new season, set to get underway on Friday October 11.

Thomas Deng talks about his new role amongst the Melbourne Victory leadership group ahead of the 2019/20 A-League season.

Adelaide United have defeated the Central Coast 2-1 to progress through to the FFA Cup final. The Reds will now take on Melbourne City in the final.

Western United FC show a glimpse of the preparations going into their debut season in the A-League.
CANBERRA – Harry Souttar’s debut for the Socceroos might have been a dream — scoring a brace to go with a clean sheet — but there was still work to be done for the big defender.
Long after spectators had left GIO Stadium in Canberra following Australia’s 5-0 demolition of Nepal on Thursday, Souttar and Awer Mabil were separately helping haul equipment onto the team bus through the mixed zone.
Now, less established players in a squad are usually set these kinds of menial tasks. Picking up…

Joey Barton backed by Sam Allardyce after landing Fleetwood job

Barton was released by Burnley in May 2017, as he was banned from football for 18 months after admitting a Football Association charge in relation to betting.
Joey Barton has taken on his biggest challenge yet by making the first step into management as head coach at Fleetwood, according to the midfielder’s former boss Sam Allardyce.
The 35-year-old, who was most recently at Burnley, has signed a three-year contract from June 2, when his suspension for breaking Football Association betting rules expires.
Barton played for Allardyce at Newcastle from the summer of 2007 to January 2008.

Fleetwood Town goalie earns year of free pizza for FA Cup clean sheet

Neal, left, will be dining on that magical thing called pizza for the foreseeable future.

Not only did Fleetwood Town manage to force an FA Cup third-round replay with Leicester City by grafting to a 0-0 draw on Saturday afternoon, they also landed goalkeeper Chris Neal with a sweet — or should that be savoury? — bonus.

Massive incentive for @ftfc goalkeeper Chris Neal today. For every 7.5 minutes he keeps @LCFC at bay he earns month’s supply of pizza. Wins year’s worth if game finishes goalless. Sure to be mixed feelings from Fleetwood boss Uwe Rosler if that happens. Press treated to a taste pic.twitter.com/9Lw7Knf00h— Carl Markham (@carlmarkham) January 6, 2018

Thanks to sponsors Papa John’s, Neal had a wager in place that would see him win more free pizza the longer he went without conceding against the Foxes.

Sure enough, and barring a late Foxes strike that hit the woodwork, Neal remained largely untroubled throughout…

League One Fleetwood gave Leicester a real scare but the Premier League side escaped Highbury Stadium with a goalless draw in their FA Cup third round tie.
Ash Hunter’s deflected shot hit the post in the second minute of added time, rebounding on to goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic before hitting the post again. Jakupovic grabbed the loose ball and the visitors narrowly avoided the shock exit the television cameras present were hoping for.
The hosts, 12th in their table, comfortably held their own against…

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy a doubt for Fleetwood FA Cup return

Amid speculation regarding Riyad Mahrez’s future, Claude Puel reiterates his intent to keep the Algerian at Leicester.
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy is a major doubt for a fairytale return to his former club Fleetwood in the FA Cup on Saturday.
England forward Vardy is struggling with a groin injury and has yet to train ahead of the FA Cup third-round game at Highbury.
Vardy joined Leicester from Fleetwood for £1 million in 2012 and has become an international as well as winning the Premier League in 2016.
But he is unlikely to make an emotional return to Fleetwood, nicknamed the Cod Army, after suffering the…

Fleetwood Town keeper Alex Cairns’ incredible triple save vs. Northampton

Fleetwood managed to escape from Northampton Town’s Sixfields ground with a narrow 1-0 victory in League One on Saturday afternoon.
The winning goal was poached by Devante Cole but the Trawlermen definitely also owed a debt of gratitude to their goalkeeper, Alex Cairns, who filed an early contender for Save of the Season to keep Northampton at bay.

Technically, Cairns’ outstanding triple block should probably go down as a strong contender for Save(s) of the Season.
Fleetwood held on to secure a…
