It’s an idea crazy enough to work.

When you play the game where fans want it to be played, fans can attend.

Spicy Takes

Essentially, The Mariners are a tough opponent for even in-form sides. They’re a litmus test, they’re not the best, but you need to be able to beat them to be considered the best.

Wanderers did everything they could to sabotage themselves. Just a whole 90 of unforced errors and senseless gambles.

The Kiwi Maldini

30 – Taylor Otto (Melbourne City) made 30/30 passes vs BRI tonight, the 2nd most of any outfield player in an #ALW match with a 100% success rate since Opta began collecting the data in 2016/17 (Mackenzie Barry – 43/43 for WEL – 8 Mar 2024). Precise.
