Graham Arnold has some selection headaches ahead of Australia’s Asian Cup opener against Jordan on Sunday night.

The Socceroos have been rocked by key injuries, the latest to new Roo Martin Boyle, which have threatened Arnold’s plans for the tournament.
Already without Aaron Mooy and, for the group games at least, Mathew Leckie, the Socceroos coach has had to reshuffle his attack.
But the squad remains upbeat, with no evidence the players have been rattled by so many injuries leading into the tournament.

So who will get the nod against Jordan?
Chris Ikonomidis stood out against Oman in last week’s training match and by all accounts the Perth Glory forward has continued to impress Arnold during the training.
There’s every chance of him retaining his place in the starting line-up, with Andrew Nabbout once again preferred to lead the line over Jamie Maclaren.
The sentiment is that Arnold will also go with the experience of Robbie Kruse out wide, with Awer Mabil likely to remain on the bench.
Will Mark Milligan stay in the midfield, or be shifted back to the defence?

It’s in defence where Arnold will also have to make a big call. He opted to move Mark Milligan to the midfield against Oman, with Trent Sainsbury partnered by Milos Degenek at the back.
If that continues for the match against Jordan, it’s likely to be Jackson Irvine who misses out, but if Milligan is shifted back to defence, that will cost Degenek his place.

Serie A TIM Prediction | Juventus vs Lazio

Atletico Madrid 2-0 Juventus Video Highlight

The match had appeared to be heading for a goalless draw at the Wanda Metropolitano, before Atleti defenders Gimenez (78) and Godin (83) gave Diego Simeone's side a huge advantage heading into the second leg in Turin on March 12. That will come as a big relief to the home team, who had earlier seen substitute Alvaro Morata's 70th-minute header ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee for a push on Giorgio Chiellini. Video highlight: Cristiano Ronaldo, with only one goal in his last eight Champions League games, tested Jan Oblak with an early long-range free kick which the Atletico goalkeeper did well to tip over. It was Atleti, though, who thought they had the best chance to open the scoring before half-time when referee Felix Zwayer decided that Mattia De Sciglio had tripped Diego Costa just inside the box. However, after consultation with the VAR, the correct decision was made with the Juve right-back having clearly caught Costa just outside the area, with Woj...

SysAdmin 101

This book explores system administrator fundamentals. These days, DevOps has made even the job title “system administrator” seem a bit archaic, much like the “systems analyst” title it replaced. These DevOps positions are rather different from typical sysadmin jobs in the past in that they have a much larger emphasis on software development far beyond basic shell scripting. As a result, they often are filled with people with software development backgrounds without much prior sys- admin experience. In the past, sysadmins would enter the role at a junior level and be mentored by a senior sysadmin on the team, but in many cases currently, companies go quite a while with cloud outsourcing before their first DevOps hire. As a result, DevOps engineers might be thrust into the role at a junior level with no mentor around apart from search engines and Stack Overflow posts. In this book, I expound on some of the lessons I’ve learned through the years that might be obvious to longtime sysadmin...
