The Western Sydney Wanderers are preparing to give giants of world soccer and multimillionaires Hulk and Oscar a Campbelltown welcome.The Blacktown-based club have been drawn in Group F for the upcoming edition of the Asian Champions League, pitting them against Korean champions FC Seoul and a likely match up against Chinese giants Shanghai SIPG.Shanghai SIPG are one of three sides in contention for a playoff spot but shape as the most likely to advance to the group stage.The wealthy Chinese club are headed by former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas and boast the likes of Brazilian striker Hulk, who demands over $500,000 a week.The club is also close to reuniting Villas-Boas with former charge Oscar, who is set to join Shanghai after Chelsea reportedly accepted a record $85 million transfer fee.Its 90 per cent certain, Oscar said of the potential deal. It just depends on a few bureaucratic details.Their presence would ensure a packed house at the 20,000 capacity Campbelltown Stadium, which will host the Wanderers ACL group games.Weve proven before what an Australian club can do in the Asian Champions League regardless of who youre up against or regardless of the resources youre up against, Wanderers coach Tony Popovic said.Thats the challenge we have once again - to possibly come up against a really big team, a team that wants to do what weve done and thats win the champions league.Thats why theyre being linked to players such as Oscar and well welcome him to Campbelltown with open arms.Popovic said they had learnt a lot from their previous two ACL campaigns, in particular their 2014 win.While they were crowned champions of Asia, they failed to back up in the 2014-15 A-League season, finishing second last.I think you know what to expect by being in there a couple of times, Popovic said.It doesnt make it any easier logistically. The travel is still the same, youre still trying to play two competitions - which is tough.In the two previous occasions weve been there, weve embraced the challenge of this competition brings both on and off the field.

In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers. Greg Maddux Jersey .

BATON ROUGE, La. -- From Ed Orgerons perspective, Thursdays LSU-Florida decision was nearly as perfect as he could have hoped.LSUs interim coach and his team will now host Florida on Nov. 19 instead of playing the Gators on the road, as the Tigers would have done Saturday had Hurricane Matthew not postponed the game.?LSU (3-2, 2-1 SEC) also maintains its open date on Oct. 29 ahead of a Nov. 5 showdown with No. 1 Alabama, which was a key negotiating point to Tigers athletic director Joe Alleva as the schools worked to find a makeup date.I think its great, especially having the open date before Alabama and getting to play Florida at home, Orgeron said after Thursdays practice. I believe its a win, and I want to thank our administration, Joe Alleva. I know he worked very hard at keeping that open date and to have that home game here, so he did a tremendous job.LSU still must play three SEC games in a span of 13 days, first visiting Arkansas on Nov. 12 and then hosting Florida on Nov. 19 before closing the season with a Thanksgiving night visit to Texas A&M on Nov. 24. That will be no easy situation to manage for Orgeron and his coaching staff.Were not going to make it an issue, Orgeron said. Its the task we have at hand, and were going to face that task when we get there, one day at a time, and thats far away. Theres a lot of things that can happen between then, and weve got a couple good teams to play before them.Orgeron learned of the LSU-Florida resolution just before taking the field for practice Thursday but opted against his first impulse to tell his team that the issue had been settled. He is preparing for just his second game as Tigers coach and wanted to make sure that the teams focus was on Saturday against Southern Miss and not on a game that will be played a month from now.I thought it was the wrong time to tell them: 48 hours before game time, [while in] preparation for Southern Miss, and all I preach is one game at a time, Orgeron said.LSU, Florida and SEC officials have engaged in contentious conversations over how to handle the makeup date since they announced the postponement last Thursday. Alleva on Monday insisted that LSU would not give up a home game to travel to Florida on Nov. 19 and reiterated that he did not want to surrender an open date before the Alabama game.Finally, the SEC announced that the schools would buy out nonconference games on Nov. 19 -- Florida against Presbyterian and LSU against South Alabama -- so the Gators could visit Tiger Stadium that day. The conference also announced LSU will play at Florida in each of the next two seasons.LSU will pay $1.5 million to buy out South Alabama, and Florida will pay $500,000 to buy out Presbyterian.The 18th-ranked Gators (4-1, 2-1 SEC) will lose two home games -- about $7.8 million in projected revenue from ticket sales alone -- but likely will recoup some of that through insurance.That was a painful, but necessary, way to solve the ordeal, according to Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, who spoke at a news conference Thursday.ddddddddddddt was obvious that they were committed to that position and that it was going to be difficult to change that position, and therefore that we felt the only way to escape an even more difficult situation was to make the decision that we did, Foley said. I think it would have been a huge mistake in my opinion, my staffs position and opinion, [Florida president] Dr. [Kent] Fuchs position, for the University of Florida to draw a line in the sand, and then what would happen? And nothing good would have come out of that. At the end of the day, its time to step up and do what you think is right and go play a football game.The SEC statement also predicted that the conferences presidents and chancellors would agree to alter league bylaws to give its commissioner wider authority to solve further disputes such as the one that occurred between LSU and Florida.?Current bylaws state that only the teams that play all eight conference games are eligible for the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.It was important for us to come to a resolution, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement. Each university had its own set of concerns throughout the process; however, existing SEC regulations did not provide an avenue to resolve conflicting issues in a more timely manner. As I have repeatedly said, this game needed to be played. In the end, I want to give credit to the University of Florida for making concessions to move this years game to Baton Rouge.Foley said Sankeys authority to act was unclear in this situation and that it will surely be an issue that the leagues athletic directors address at their meetings in December. The ADs have plans to make the necessary changes at the leagues spring meetings next year in Destin, Florida.Obviously, LSU and Florida did not see eye-to-eye on this situation, but also understand the fact that theyre dealing with situations too. Its hard for me to say that right now, but I do understand that, Foley said. And so trying to move schedules around in a short period of time is extremely difficult, and I assure you that Commissioner Sankey looked at a lot of different options trying to make this work. Changing the schedule in midstream is extremely hard.I do think, obviously, unfortunately now that this situation has happened, therell be a lot of conversation on how to prevent it from happening again. I think the lines of authority will be much clearer.LSU is no stranger to having games rescheduled and moved because of natural disasters. In 2005, LSU moved a home game with Arizona State because of Hurricane Katrina and delayed a home game against Tennessee by two days in response to disruptions caused by Hurricane Rita. Last season, LSU hosted a game originally scheduled at South Carolina because of flooding in the Columbia, South Carolina, area. ' ' '
