In their last encounter in the first phase of qualifying for Qatar 2022, Australia faced a modern rival in Jordan – who have always been a bump in the road for the Socceroos. Since 2012, we have gone tit for tat against the Jordanian national team. No draws in 6 games; 3 wins and 3…

With one win in our last five games, Sunday afternoon is looking more concerning than a mid-season City fan would have thought. Lacking what arguably has been our ‘spine’ across the park in Socceroos Jamie Maclaren, Connor Metcalfe and Curtis Good, it has been a difficult period. On our worst goal-scoring run this season, we…

The Socceroos were once again heavily adjusted for a match which was expected to be their seventh victory in as many games in this stage of the road to Qatar. Despite the Nepalese putting up a strong fight with heavy challenges and gutsy pressing, it was in fact the favourites who prevailed in this hard-fought…

567 days. After a wait no one expected us to endure, the Socceroos have prevailed in a top of the group clash against Kuwait in a World Cup Qualifier. Kicking off at 5am AEST, Australian fans were lively on social media, with the match commencing at 10pm locally. After so long without the Socceroo boys…

A fortnight off? No worries. Instead of venturing forward with no obvious direction, we saw the front three reinvigorated by a direct Nabbout, highly confident Noone and sharp-shooting Maclaren, who on another day would have bagged a hat-trick. Seemingly focused on strong pressing defence and intricate, direct counter attacking play, the playing group has taken…

Ever since our inaugural season as Melbourne Heart, we have shown glimpses of having what it takes to be champions of the league. Many times, however, we fall short in a lacklustre or tiresome performance – often giving up dodgy leads. Although, change is happening in the league. Mariners are on top, Victory seem to…

It’s a famous line, one that sticks with football fans all around the world. This is something that must have been engraved into the way of Australian football, particularly during the height of older-than-most marquee players in the league. The 2016/17 season boasted mature squads, with Sydney FC, Brisbane Roar and Melbourne City all averaging…
