Will Harry Souttar make the Socceroos World Cup squad plus the craziest finish to the end of the A-League Men's regular season

Guess who’s back… back again. Harry’s back—tell a friend.

But the big question: is he on the plane to the World Cup?

We’ve got Aussies firing overseas—Mo Touré scoring rockets, Mat Ryan keeping hope alive, and plenty caught in relegation drama.

Back home, the A-League Men season wrapped with chaos, goals, and some serious spice ahead of finals.

Plus, A-League Women finals kicked off in style with dominant wins setting up blockbuster semis.

And of course—we’ll wrap it all up with our Team of the Week.

Big Story – Harry Souttar Returns

He’s back—and what a return.

Harry Souttar starts, scores, and plays a full game in a 1-1 draw with Millwall. Huge performance.

Midweek twist though—his club confirms relegation to League One after a 2-2 draw with Hull.

Now the focus shifts: what’s next for Souttar as he rebuilds toward top-level football?
