Unfortunately, I've not had the time or will to properly follow football recently. I went to see Lions FC play in the FFA cup recently, which was great, but the ownership situation at the Roar has left me quite underwhelmed, Whenever it's sorted, I'm sure I'll be live streaming every match of...

Sakho looked decent tonight with Skrtel by his side. He was my top pick from what I saw and looked more than comfortable when any ball came to him. Brisbane really shouldn't have been allowed to score, but the number of people in red at a 50,000 seat stadium tonight made me feel a little...

I'm not sure if anybody is too interested, but some decent teams are playing a couple of friendlies here in Australia. I'll watch the rest on tv, but I have tickets to see Brisbane vs Liverpool with my family who all support anybody but Liverpool but bought tickets on a whim since they thought...

That one wasn't so bad, unfortunately.

They've shown that replay at least four separate times here. They're pretending to be fine with it, but they're definitely not.

I've plainly not bothered watching any other Asian domestic football so far with all the other international men's and women's tournaments going on recently and other things taking up my time. I'll probably get back into it when the champions league comes back. I'm hoping Jeonbuk will win as it...

I'd think a lead of 350 could probably suffice, but I'd only start to feel truly comfortable if England get past 250 to 300. Hopefully this partnership lasts and they get properly into it. It'd be nice to see some fairly quick runs towards the end of the day if there are wickets left, and...

Haddin, Marsh and all those aren't in the same league as Clarke, Ponting, Vaughan and those sorts.

I really have no confidence in any Australian batsmen other than Smith, Clarke and Watson. Warner is a one day player and they don't really have any other major test batsmen.

That's sort of what I was thinking. 400 will set them a target they'll be surprised to fail to reach on an English pitch. England would have absolutely no hope in Perth, but players like Mitchell Johnson will have absolutely no effect at Lord's.

The sort of wicket they're playing on makes me wonder if this could be a very good score or just decent like it would be here. I suppose weather has something to do with it, but what would you all settle for as a dominant first innings total?

That's a shame. It's not a terrible score so far, though.

I hate Australia as well, just to be clear. They are terrible sports overall. I only support them in football.

I've not heard that one here. All Australian cricketers are dicks, really. I've only ever had a natural liking of Doug Bollinger when he used to try and bat. The Watson story my maths teacher told me always seemed nice to me, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they were typical aggressive...

My sister and I have a sort of barometer of how England are doing by seeing how Joe Root is doing and multiplying it by about 2.5. She also tells me he is either out for less than 10 or makes a century. I don't really know since I don't fancy him and never pay as much attention to his results.

I've decided to stay up and watch this since state of origin was on here and I've got nothing to do tomorrow morning. Watson is a nuisance as both a batsman and a bowler and he's always been one of my favourite Australians. He'll never be the best, but he's very rarely poor. My old maths...

Japan's second goal was well worked and well taken and I was impressed to see the whole move pay off when I saw it live. I'm not overly confident about the quarter finals for Australia. Hopefully Japan's approach is similar to their Asian cup approach. Well and truly beat the weaker teams but...

I'm very happy with the two round of 16 matches I've seen so far. Australia and England both won. I would love to see an Australia vs England semi final with either team going on to win overall. Hopefully either will win the whole tournament.

I'd never bet on Australia beating Brazil, but they mostly nullified Sweden in the only match I was able to see them play, so I'm not sure England should be too worried by any team in particular considering they probably have a fair bit more talent than Australia and should be able to set...

I sort of despise Kevin Muscat. I'm not sure why, really. He's an easy target, I suppose, especially since he tried to break so many limbs. Especially here when he had more talent than the opposition but went in like mad anyway. I don't know what he does as a manager or coach, but he still...
