Napoli director blasts 'shameful' penalty decisions given to Juventus

Gab Marcotti breaks down Napoli's capitulation against Juve in the Coppa Italia, and how they could have turned the tide. Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli called the penalty decisions given against his club on Tuesday "shameful and damaging to all of Italian football." Paulo Dybala converted two penalties in the second half to rally Juventus to a 3-1 win in their Coppa Italia semifinal first leg, and Giuntoli was angered by both decisions from referee Paolo Valeri. The first penalty was given in the opening minute after the break, when Valeri ruled that Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly fouled Dybala. The...

A-League expansion ruled out in the near future, FFA considers restructure

Jason Dasey and PJ Roberts look ahead to all the match-ups in Week 22 of the Hyundai A-League. Football Federation Australia has warned A-League expansion under its current model would result in unsustainable losses that would prove calamitous for the game. As the governing body announced it will start work with A-League and W-League clubs this week to develop a new, more fiscally effective ownership and operating structure, it admitted it can't afford to add new teams to the men's competition unless big changes are made. FFA said analysis showed expansion would require "significant more capital...

Dybala's brace of penalties gives Juve Coppa Italia advantage over Napoli

Gab Marcotti breaks down Napoli's capitulation against Juve in the Coppa Italia, and how they could have turned the tide. Napoli have never won in the Juventus Stadium and were left incensed when Juventus beat them 3-1 to condemn them to yet another loss in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal. Juventus opted to return to a three-man backline for the start of the match and predictably looked less potent than usual and even less defensively secure. As such, Napoli opened the scoring and controlled the first half to force Massimiliano Allegri to change shapes. Armed with Juan Cuadrado, Juve took to the pitch...

A-League scheduling makes it 'virtually impossible' to compete in ACL - Aloisi

The Korean outift ran out 6-0 winners past a hopeless Roar outfit in the Asian Champions League. Ulsan Hyundai's comprehensive 6-0 win over Brisbane Roar sealed an AFC Champions League Group E win. Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi believes Football Federation Australia will be forced to re-examine A-League scheduling because they have made it "virtually impossible" for teams to compete in the AFC Champions League. The Roar were smashed 6-0 by Ulsan Hyundai in South Korea on Tuesday night, continuing the utter humiliation of Australian sides at this year's tournament. Western Sydney also suffered a 5-1 defeat to Shanghai SIPG on Tuesday, following their 4-0 loss to Urawa Red Diamonds last week,...

Daniel Sturridge's future at Liverpool yet to be decided - Jurgen Klopp

Raphael Honigstein explains what has happened to Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool that has caused their season to derail. Daniel Sturridge's future at Liverpool will be decided at the end of the season and not before, manager Jurgen Klopp says. The England forward's playing time has been limited in recent months as he's started just five Premier League games in the current campaign while Klopp prefers Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. Sturridge, who appears likely to be available to face Arsenal on Saturday after being sidelined by a virus for Liverpool's deflating 3-1 loss at Leicester City on Monday,...

Nainggolan, Roma look to back up their chatter with derby win over Lazio

Long known for his physicality & defensive work, Radja Nainggolan has blossomed as a No. 10 under Luciano Spalletti. Earlier this month, Roma's man-of-the-moment Radja Nainggolan made headlines around the world when he let rip at Juventus, telling fans just how much he hates them through a wisp of cigarette smoke, unaware that he was being filmed by sneaky supporters. What got less coverage was his fate-tempting prediction that he and his teammates would cruise past Lazio in the Coppa Italia semifinals, the first leg of which is Wednesday night. "We'll win both Coppa Italia derbies, I tell you right now....

Tony Popovic rues Western Sydney's 'small squad' after ACL thrashing

Shanghai SIPG put five past Western Sydney Wanderers to condemn them to a second defeat in two in the AFC Champions League. Shanghai SIPG put five past Western Sydney Wanderers to condemn them to a second defeat in two in the AFC Champions League. Hulk and Oscar appear to be coming into their own in the CSL as they continue their fine form for Shanghai SIPG. Tony Popovic insists Western Sydney controlled large sections of their first-half downfall in Tuesday's 5-1 Asian Champions League thrashing, but were undone by Shanghai SIPG's star foreign legion. The Wanderers were thoroughly outplayed by the cashed-up Chinese Super League giants on a torrid night for Australian football, during which Brisbane were also belted 6-0 by Ulsan Hyundai. For Popovic's humbled side, the gulf in class was striking and the contest essentially over at the half-hour mark,...
