Don't forget to come out to Star City this Sunday to watch the match on the big screen with 442Live.

Mancini Set For Chelsea Job
After Avram Grant was sacked this week, the debate over who will take over at Stamford Bridge has dominated headlines. The new favourite is tipped to be Roberto Mancini, the former Inter coach who was shown the door as well. Can he bring Roman the Champions League trophy?

No Zidane Means No Match
The French legend has pulled out of this Sunday's match that was supposed to be played at the SFS. No Zidane means no match. You mean no one wants to see Craig Foster play?

Matlidas Grab Win In AFC Cup Opener
While a lot of attention is on the Socceroos as they prepare for Super June, the Matildas are making noise at the Women's Asian Cup. They grabbed three points in their first match, defeating Chinese Taipei 4-0 in Vietnam.

Australia News
Socceroos To Take On Italy
Big news this week - the Socceroos will get a chance at revenge against the Azzurri sometime in 2009. It's uncertain where and when it will take place, as that depends on next season's fixtures for both squads. With a number of Australians tipping Italy to win Euro 2008, this match may test allegiances. Hopefully it will also be without ridiculous penalties.

Australia News
Cassio to Make Reds Return
Good news for Adelaide fans - star player Cassio will likely make it back for the start of the 2008/09 season. Scans completed this week showed no tears or ruptures in his knee, after he injured it in a friendly against the MetroStars last month.

Millsy's The Man For Beijing

Two... things that made us laugh

Lehmann Critical of Euro 2008 Ball
We all know that Germany keeper Jens Lehmann is crazy. But this week's comment on the match ball to be used at Euro 2008 has to take the cake. When in doubt, blame the ball.

Ghana fans look for an "H"
Apparently, four Ghana fans couldn't find a fifth person to help them spell. Watch these supporters greet the national team at Sydney airport. We suspect the FFA might have had something to do with it...
