My lockdown birthday was certainly one to remember.

[FIFA @FIFAcom]

An incredible atmosphere in Vancouver as Türkiye fans prepare for their nation's first @FIFAWorldCup match since their third place finish in 2002 🙌🇹🇷

@official_lesdog I've been here since Friday 5th. I've seen more Socceroos jerseys than any other country - ahead by quite a lot. Other than that I've spotted one Spain, one Belgium, a group of Japanese fans all together, and saw my first Türkiye kit yesterday afternoon

@teopellizzeri In saying that, there have been a decent amount of coaches who have done NPL after A-League. At a quick glance: Kosmina, Valkanis, Farina, Mulvey, O'Sullivan, Bleiberg, Theodorakopoulos, van Egmond, Culina, Deans, Zane, Stubbins, Miller, Jones, Ferguson, Lowe

[Christian Layland @Layles89]

@teopellizzeri Lifestyle. Giving up your weeknights, not seeing family etc is a big sacrifice to make. Whereas at ALM level, you're coaching during the day so you have flexibility to live your life a bit during weeknights. You lose that at NPL level, and the money isn't worth giving that up

@ChuckyMeat Very excited at the kind of career Circarti is going to have

[Christian Layland @Layles89]

We are actually so good when we have Irankinda, McGree and Bos on the park.

Add in Toure when he's fit.

"Let's talk about a spectacle, how good of a spectacle is it (the Sydney Derby)."

[Atlanta Hawks @ATLHawks]

The ONLY player in NBA HISTORY with this stat line.

JALEN. JOHNSON.

@BenSmith94 Haha happy to help!

[Christian Layland @Layles89]

@BenSmith94 Reminds me of 2018 when Poland gamed the system to earn a Pot 1 spot. They ended up finishing bottom of their group (Colombia, Japan, Senegal)

[Christian Layland @Layles89]

@BirdlifeSC I've got the same thing on my Samsung TV. Same thing happened for Australia Cup Final and Soccer Ashes. Works fine on my phone, iPad and laptop - but not on my TV which is where I actually want to watch it

[Christian Layland @Layles89]

I hope they let Grozos lift the trophy. Banning red-carded players from being at the trophy presentation is one of the dumb football rules which I hate #AustraliaCup

[Christian Layland @Layles89]

This is really sad. Maria was incredibly passionate and incredibly effective. The game always came first and she campaigned fiercely for women's football. Most importantly, she was a genuine and kind person. I will miss her greatly

[Football Victoria @footballvic]

Football Victoria mourns the passing of a monumental figure in women’s football, Maria Berry AM. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends and the wider football community.

@BlayneTreadgold I hate it too. Devalues the achievement (of being the best team all season) significantly. I like that the A-League got this right:
Win the league = Premiership
Win the grand final = Championship

[Christian Layland @Layles89]

@neilsherwin @BenSmith94 @matthewcomito It was a great way to spend an evening, and as always nice to see you again

[Premier League @premierleague]

Ange Postecoglou told us all...

[Christian Layland @Layles89]

@_MattColeman This is getting interesting...

[Christian Layland @Layles89]

@DiscreetTas @NBL That's the embarrassing part. It's strange the rules allow the Finals MVP to be be from the winning team. If you're not good enough to help your team win the series, you're not valuable enough to win the award
