Australia Cup - Other Australian games

APIA take the early lead vs the Victory!! (Another stream link here http://cricfree.ws/bt-sport-1-live-stream-2)

Cairns 1-0 vs Sydney as well.

Oh and Jeff Fleming starting for Avondale.

Avondale up 2-0

[Edit: make that 2-1]

Bentleigh 2-0 up.

Victory and Sydney both trail at half time v Apia leichardt and Cairns, respectively. 

APIA 2-0!!!!

Sydney level things up from the penalty spot.

And they take the lead.

Bentleigh make its 3-0 and Victory claw one back 2-1

Vuc and Sydney showing how to take advantage of superior A-League conditioning

Make that 2. Bugga

APIA 3-2!!!!

APIA with the biggest cupset in the FFA Cup's history.

Sydney survive a late scare after Redmayne saves a penalty. Bentleigh and Avondale progress with comfortable wins.

I am shocked MV lost that. APIA couldn't even jog for the last 30 mins. Amazing.

Maybe not, Adelaide City beat WSW when they were reigning Premiers & still in the ACL + Redlands beat Adelaide when they were reigning Premiers/Champions. Both have arguments for them.

However this is the first time a NPL team has beaten an A-League team in the Round of 16 or higher.

FFA Cup kicks off again tonight, sadly not on Sky TV. If you can find a stream of BT Sport 1, Lions FC v Adelaide will be shown on that at 9:30pm.

Tonight's games are:

Lions FC v Adelaide

Melbourne City v Newcastle Jets

Bonnyrigg White Eagles v WSW

Adelaide Comets v Heidelberg United

Lions v Adelaide on Sky Sport Pop-up 055 at 9.30PM NZT

Nice, I didn't see it listed on the online TV guide.

Will be at the Adelaide Comets V Heidelberg game with my Nix scarf! I'll be impartial, but.. Any opportunity to wear yellow and black!

Babel has been playing Roly out wide all pre-season, gonna be interesting to see if he sticks with that during the regular season

Matty starting, he seems to have cemented a starting spot so far in pre-season

Vinnie gets the nod for Adelaide alongside Galloway.

Josh Brindell-South cost Lions FC the match with a shank in defence.

Sounds like that was the best game.

Lions FC 0 v Adelaide 1

Melbourne City 1 v Newcastle Jets 0

Bonnyrigg White Eagles 1 v WSW 2

Adelaide Comets 0 v Heidelberg United4

Only Kiwi left in the cup now is Avondale's Jeff Fleming

I have been in touch with Avondale regarding the Pirlo situation. They are not commenting on the matter except to say they are waiting to hear from Pirlo’s management.

Some extras  may turn up to the game after the publicity generated 

FFA Cup tonight, sadly doesn't look like Sky Sports is gonna be showing it. Avondale has been going well and Sydney will have a couple of their new boys on show, should be an interesting match. It will be on BT Sports again, so streams should be pretty easy to find.

Sydney wheeling out the big guns tonight. How many sausage rolls is ALF gonna get tonight?

Still find Babbel playing Roly out wide strange. WSW fans don't rate Nizic in goal at all, guess Snakes isn't at full fitness yet?

Jeff Fleming on the bench :(

This Kamsoba for Avondale is singlehandedly costing the NPL side their chances.. Has the pace but has the first touch of a dog with a balloon.

He has a trial with the Victory coming up.

City 1 WSW 2

Avondale 2 Sydney 4 after extra time.

City pushed to extra time by a NPL team ( waiting for Huge headlines in Ozz)

I don't know how he'll get into the team, he just looks so clumsy and gets the ball stuck between his legs.
