Eagle-eyed Australian coach Ange Postecoglou sees everything in the A-League.But most of his attention on Sunday will probably be focused on one particular flank of Suncorp Stadium, where two aspiring Socceroos are set for a direct battle.Brisbane winger Tommy Oar and Perth full-back Josh Risdon will go head-to-head as they audition for a spot on the plane to Bangkok for next months World Cup qualifier.Oar and the Glorys Risdon have been picked in an extended 30-man squad for the Group B clash against Thailand on November 15 but need to impress Postecoglou enough this weekend to survive a seven-player cull to be made in coming days.A timely performance from Oar could not only spark the Roars misfiring attack but, with Postecoglou keen to build Australias depth out wide, it might also jolt him back into the Socceroos reckoning nearly a year on from his last international appearance.Its great for Tommy Oar - it actually shows how much Ange rates him as a player, Roar coach John Aloisi said.He had a little bit of an interrupted pre-season towards the end but, otherwise, hes only going to get stronger.Weve got quite a few new players in the starting 11 and, the better they get, their understandings going to get better, and Tommy Oar last week already showed a lot of glimpses that hes going to be a handful for any defender.Risdon will need to work both ways to catch Postecoglous eye.Right-back remains a problem position for the Socceroos but not because of defensive reasons - no player with the requisite attacking qualities to help carry out the teams high-intensity game plan has yet emerged.Another intriguing sub-plot is up front, where Aloisi hopes Roar striker Jamie Maclaren - who hasnt scored three rounds into the new season - can do as Perths Andy Keogh did last week and break his duck with a rain of goals.Kenny Lowe mentioned Keogh; he said he wasnt lacking in confidence or form - he had his chances in the first few games but it didnt go in and then he scores a hat-trick. I see Jamie Maclaren exactly the same, Aloisi said.STATS THAT MATTER:* The Glory have only come away with three points once in their past 10 attempts in Brisbane (drawn two, lost seven)* Perth have attempted 1004 passes this season - a league-low number* The Glory have been shown more cards than any other side this campaign (12 yellows) Wholesale Nike NHL Jerseys . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Scott Frost wasnt sure what he was walking into upon taking over at UCF last December.What he has found out in the last 11 months is he inherited a gritty group of players willing to accept coaching and do whatever it takes to return to respectability. The Knights (6-4, 4-2 American Athletic) took a major step Saturday, beating Cincinnati 24-3 to become bowl-eligible after going 0-12 last season.Im happy for our players, said Frost, who was still dripping wet after receiving a Gatorade bath prior to the games end. I told them you dont get much in this life you dont earn and theyve earned the success they have.While Frost, who was the former Oregon offensive coordinator, is known for his higher-powered offense, the Knights turn-around this season has had everything to with their defense. And that was certainly the case Saturday as UCF swarmed the Bearcats.Linebackers Errol Clarke and Shaquem Griffin combined for five sacks on UC quarterback Hayden Mooree and then defensive end Seyvon Lowry came up with a game-sealing interception in the third quarter that set up running back Jawon Hamiltons 25-yard touchdown run.dddddddddddd The Bearcats (4-6, 1-5) were able to move the ball but were kept out of the end zone and did not score in the second half.UCF coach Tommy Tuberville, whose team has now lost five of its last six, said his quarterbacks faced constant pressure because of the offenses inability to establish the run against the Knights.It was huge, Tuberville said of the five sacks. What happens is when you cant run the ball, the other team tees off on you.For the Knights, it was a fitting ending to comeback season.It was crazy, Griffin said. I came in the locker room last and to just see everybody turning up, it was crazy.From 0-12 to a bowl game, they said we couldnt do it but we did it. ' ' '
