BOXING legend Jeff Fenech is - with Socceroo Tim Cahill - an ambassador for the South Coast A-League bid but the Marrickville Mauler's support for a Wollongong team is not just talk. Fenech prowled the Sydney Football Stadium car park before a recent A-League match recruiting membership pledges - even inviting Sydney FC midfielder Terry McFlynn to sign on as a future South Coast member (He declined). Fenech told Parrot he didn't know McFlynn but, "I tell everyone that looks like they play football that they should join South Coast FC!" Kossie goes off line Sydney FC coach John Kosmina dismissed a press conference question from a reporter for an FFA-accredited website after last weekend's 2-1 loss to Wellington Phoenix, suggesting online "lunatics run the asylum". Maybe so but, unfortunately for Kossie, these so-called lunatics are the same laptop-leaning, internet-savvy, Googling generation the A-League considers to be its core demographic. Email to FFA: Oops. Salma given brush-off David Beckham has fled Los Angeles for Milan, leaving Mexican actress Salma Hayek , star of Frida and Desperado , wondering when she'll finally get one-on-one instruction on how to juggle a ball. Hayek paid $US350,000 at a charity auction this year for a private one-hour lesson with Beckham, who has yet to find time to meet. Full boar pitch invasion Last weekend's clash between English teams Soudley and Charfield was postponed after wild boars ran on to the pitch and dug holes with their snouts. "It will take several months to get the pitch up to scratch," a club spokesman said. Obama a cup factor Australia's bid for the 2018 World Cup may have received a setback from Barack Obama 's election win. An unnamed "high-placed" FIFA source has been reported claiming Obama's popularity will benefit a US bid. "If the US bid stacks up in terms of infrastructure and organisation, then Obama could be a huge factor." >BECKS A WAG KEEPER RAGE FIFA's campaign to respect referees has taken the slow boat to Bolivia, where last weekend riot police had to escort a player from the pitch who ignored a red card. Cue an all-in brawl when Aurora players, including their corner flag-swinging goalkeeper, attacked cops. >SOOKY LEHMANN MARADONA-MANIA Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez has revealed details of Diego Maradona's recent visit to awestruck Anfield. "I was having a discussion with Maradona in my office but it was very difficult," Benitez said. "There was a constant stream of our biggest players wanting to meet him." JENS LEHMANN , the sooky former Arsenal goalkeeper now with Stuttgart, claims he'll quit football if opponents continue to fake injury. "A Frankfurt player feigned an injury so we could not launch a counter-attack," Lehmann blubbed. "The referee said he had to stop play for the injury and then the man stands up and doesn't even leave the field to be treated." FORMER US international and ex-LA Galaxy bigwig Alexi Lalas, revealing who's the boss in California: "David Beckham's going to do whatever it takes to play with [England]. I mean, hello, a courtesy telephone call, a little bit of respect to call the coach so that he knows what's going on, knows that you're being shopped around [to AC Milan]. But sometimes the tail wags the dog."
