Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold has suggested the FFA Cup final venue be decided before the tournament begins to prevent conflict and disappointment for clubs and their fans.Immediately after Melbourne City beat Melbourne Victory in Tuesday nights second semi-final, Football Federation Australia (FFA) announced next months decider would be held at AAMI Park instead of Sydneys home ground Allianz Stadium.FFA chief executive David Gallop cited scheduling and a desire to maximise attendance.But the decision left Sky Blues chairman Scott Barlow furious, labelling the call a slap in the face given the club had not played a single home game.I agree with the chairmans statement, Arnold said.But the statement has come from the club and, as players and coaches, weve been dealt the cards and well get on with it.Arnold thought the best solution might be to establish the venue before the competition even started.Maybe it takes a non-football person to make that decision, he said.I saw last night Tadhg Kennelly came up with a good idea that - before the tournament starts - the ground is already announced where the final will be no matter who plays in it. That might be good.Before then, Sydney have five A-League games to focus on, starting with Newcastle at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday when the Sky Blues attempt to build on their best start to a season.Nine points and just as many goals from three games shape as a formidable proposition for the Jets, who havent managed to score against Sydney in eight of their past nine meetings.But the Hunter-based club are also undefeated under new coach Mark Jones, most recently closing a two-goal deficit to draw with Western Sydney.While the absence of in-form winger Andrew Nabbout (groin) will leave Jones without a key attacking outlet, Arnold tipped Finnish striker Aleksandr Kokko to prove a menace on return from injury.Captain Alex Brosque is an unlikely starter as he continues a cautious return following his first 90-minute run in last weeks Cup semi-final win.But Arnold said the 32-year-old was simply too talented to sit on the bench the whole season.Just at the moment, while were building his fitness and making sure theres no slip-ups with what happened to his hamstring, he said.What Im seeing is that after 60 minutes, when I bring Alex or Matty Simon on, the opposition struggle to contain them.Out of the nine goals weve scored so far, five of them have come in the last 20 minutes when our fitness kicks in and we bring on the impact players.Bernie Ibini, who scored in his long-awaited return against Canberra Olympic, is under consideration although Arnold hinted he might prefer the winger to play a full match with the youth team or an in-house friendly first.Wholesale NFL Jerseys .

Barcelona hosts third-division side Cartagena in the return leg of their round-of-32 tie after winning their first meeting 4-1.SAN DIEGO -- Bobby Hurley let his Arizona State Sun Devils have it after their 97-64 loss Wednesday to No. 18 Purdue in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.He called them soft, and then ran them ragged in practice.They paid attention, not wanting it to get any worse.Tra Holder scored 17 points and Shannon Evans II had 16, including a 3-pointer that started a 13-3 run at the start of the second half, to lead Arizona State to a 74-63 victory against San Diego State on Saturday.Obinna Oleka had 15 points and 12 rebounds, and Torian Graham scored 15 for the Sun Devils (6-4), who didnt get their first lead until three minutes into the second half.Hurley was happy with pretty much everything except 13 turnovers in the first half.Hopefully this was a turning point for us, Hurley said.

We did a lot of running. I dont know if we shot the ball at all but we did do a lot of running. It felt like we were a track team at one point.With ASU on break, the players knew practices could be rougher if they didnt step up against SDSU.We know theres no time limit when youre on break so we have that in the back of our mind like, `Man, if we dont listen, were going to be in for a long one. Preaching that mentality, play for each other and play hard, we came out on top.San Diego State twice led by 10 points in the first half, the second time at 32-22 after Hoetzel hit a 3-pointer with just more than a minute left before hallftime.dddddddddddd Evans hit a 3-pointer for ASU on the next possession.This is not what Im used to, this is not what Trey is used to, this is not what our program is used to, SDSU coach Steve Fisher said. Weve had a program thats played with toughness and pride and success. And were still capable of doing that, but you have to do it for 40 minutes. You have to do it together. You cant let one end dictate the other.Were going have to, all of us, circle the wagons, self-analyze, try to help one another, not fragment, fight together, and get one win that will give you a good taste when you leave the locker room and give you a chance to get two wins, Fisher said.BIG PICTUREArizona State: This was the Sun Devils final road trip of non-conference play. They have three home games before opening Pac-12 action at Stanford on Dec. 30. Theyve already made cross-country trips to Orlando, the Bahamas and New York.San Diego State: The Aztecs were coming off consecutive road losses to Loyola of Chicago and Grand Canyon, which will certainly hurt their NCAA Tournament chances unless they win the Mountain West Conference tournament championship and with it an automatic bid.BOOSThe Aztecs were booed by the crowd during a rough stretch in the second half.To me personally, I dont pay attention to it, but its not something you want to hear being the home team, hearing your home crowd boo you, Kell said. But at the end of the day, the fans dont control how we play. Thats on us. Weve got to look at each other, start with ourselves and go from there.AN UPSETIn 1992, Hurley and a team of other college players stunned the Dream Team in a closed scrimmage at UC San Diego before the Barcelona Olympics.
