The Socceroos may already be through to the next round of World Cup qualifying, but the FFA is expecting a crowd of over 70,000 this Sunday for the game against China. And David Beckham's not even playing... If you're in Sydney this weekend, get out there and get amongst it.

We've found another way to infiltrate the Socceroos. NAB are running a cool competition - transfer to a NAB Low Rate Visa Card and you could win tickets to a Socceroos game in September, with flights, accomodation, signed merchandise and a chance to meet selected Socceroos thrown in. Check it out here. We've also teamed up with NAB to run our own competition - pick your greatest transfers and you could win a PlayStation®3. Good luck!

Germany Book Their Spot
Hands up who didn't think Germany would make yet another semi-final of a major tournament. You'd really have to be an idiot to bet against them, but strangely enough their 3-2 defeat of Ronaldo's fancied Portugal team was an exhibition of attractive football too.

David Beckham's New Sharpie Ad
Beckham's a marketing machine - the guy has a new ad every second week. This one's pretty funny but what's even more of a laugh is they got Victory's Danny Allsopp to launch the ad in Australia.
