Good result for your lot with a 2-0 win to MetroStars.

You'll be hoping for a Wests APIA win over Bayswater City now... definitely not a draw!

It looks like Karic had that goal taken off her and it was an own goal after all.

It's quite the location.

This match is at the wonderfully named Right To Dream Stadium in Giza, Egypt.

The 2025 CAF WCL winner will qualify for the 25/26 FIFA Women's Champions Cup.

The CAF WCL winner will play the 24/25 AFC v OFC WCL winner, Wuhan Jiangda, in December.

The winner of that match will play Arsenal, 24/25 UEFA WCL winner, in London in January. (This could have been Melbourne City!)

You need to add on 10mins pre-match for games played on weekends on or around November 11 (Remembrance Day) and April 25 (ANZAC Day).

Also, this is Australia and this is the only B2 we have.

I wonder if after that last meeting in the Finals there has been any talk about City maintaining player discipline? 😉

Also, eyes will be on the officials for this match. 👀

Still lots of lightning in the area by the looks of it. Have to wait 30mins after every last lightning strike. I think matches have a 4 hour time limit though these days. Might be a while...

Some concerns about the A-League Womens..

"The [annual PFA ALW] Report will reveal that our ALW players are now the lowest-paid athletes in team sport in Australia."

"The result is that the [A-League Womens] is now the least preferred of any leagues around the world amongst its own players."

#ALW
Our annual PFA ALW Report, which will be released in the coming month, makes for sobering reading. It lays bare that the pace of progress has not been sufficient and that incremental growth won’t cut it. The Report will reveal that our ALW players are now the lowest-paid athletes in team sport in Australia. Players are constantly under strain from part-time commitments, and the growing threat of international competitors erodes our talent base. The result is that the competition is now the least preferred of any leagues around the world amongst its own players.

Look who's made the EA Sports FC26 FUT Team of the Week.

Newcastle Jets very own Alex Badolato.

He recently scored a hat trick against Melbourne Victory in what might be his breakout performance.

It's good to see that last year's "What's Cooking on Socials brought to you by the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Oven - which can turn any space into an outdoor kitchen" segment (sorry, that's just what it's called), has been retired.

Nalin Mastou has been given a seat at the Dub Zone table instead. 👍

Some more screenshots from the first half on SBS OnDemand of Marconi v Wollongong Wolves.

I got a better screenshot of the Thomas James incident this time. Ouch! Squeezing another players genitals should be a clear red card though.
