Sydney FC are furious at Football Federation Australias decision to hold the FFA Cup final at Melbourne Citys home ground, labelling it a slap in the face to their fans.Melbourne City scored a 2-0 win over cross-town rivals Victory on Tuesday night to book their place in the decider against the Sky Blues on November 30 at AAMI Park.FFA boss David Gallop cited scheduling and maximising attendance for the call to hand home ground advantage to City, a call that was made before the semi-finals.AAMI Park was selected to host the final to maximise attendance and broadcast numbers while ensuring the cup final is played in a venue that embodies the unique spirit of the competition, Gallop said in a statement.Hosting the final in the Harbour City would have given Sydneysiders their first chance to witness Socceroos star Tim Cahill in action for City.That could have tipped the attendance scales in Sydney FCs favour with home venue Allianz Stadium - a venue that can hold 45,000 - holding a 15,000 capacity advantage over AAMI Park.Instead, the two in-form A-League teams will have to wait until December 9 to face off in Sydney.Sydney FC believe they had a stronger case to host the final, with their fans not being granted one home game during the clubs run to the trophy decider this season.Of the Sky Blues four FFA Cup ties, theyve played in Wollongong, Perth, at Edensor Park in western Sydney and Canberra.The FFA has got this decision completely wrong. Its a slap in the face to all Sydney FC fans, chairman Scott Barlow said.It was made purely to maximise the profit the FFA will make from the game.Barlow said Melbourne hosting the 2015 final - when Melbourne Victory downed Perth Glory at AAMI Park in front of 15,000 people - meant it was Sydneys turn.The fact that last years grand final was also held in Melbourne was completely ignored, he said.The fact that we have the best record coming into this final was completely ignored.The fact that all five of our FFA Cup games will be away games was completely ignored - despite Melbourne City having three home games.Make no mistake, this decision was made by the FFA purely for commercial reasons. It is an unfair decision to our club. Charles Woodson Womens Jersey . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals are both looking to steady the ship going into a four-game series that opens Thursday night at Globe Life Park.The American League West-leading Rangers (58-44) have seen what was once a 10-game division lead dwindle to 2 1/2 games thanks to a 7-17 stretch.The defending World Series champion Royals (49-51) are in fourth place in the AL Central.The pitching matchup in the opener is a repeat of last Saturdays duel in Kansas City, which the Rangers won 7-4. Texas would love to get a repeat performance out of ace Cole Hamels, who picked up the win after allowing one run (none earned) and five hits in 5 1/3 innings.The 32-year-old lefty, 11-2 with a 2.87 ERA, is among the league leaders in several major categories, including wins, ERA and strikeouts.Hamels is facing Yordano Ventura (6-8, 4.99 ERA) again. The right-hander set down the first nine hitters he faced before a walk and a two-run homer by Jurickson Profar started the fourth. Ventura took the loss after being charged with three runs and three hits in five innings with four walks and five strikeouts.Hamels owns the last three and five of the last six wins by a Texas starting pitcher. Thats why the Rangers made the first of what could be several trades to upgrade the pitching staff with Wednesdays deal to land starter Lucas Harrell and reliever Dario Alvarez from Atlanta.You look at both pitchers we acquired, they can help our ballclub, fill a role and add depth, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. With Lucas, he is a guy who is throwing the ball well. He has been around a little bit, had some experience and he has been on a little bit of a roll.Harrell, 31, fills an immediate need in the rotation, with his turn coming up Sunday against the Royals. Harrell has gone 2-2 with a 3.38 ERA in five starts ffor the Braves this season.dddddddddddde has the capability of keeping us in the ballgame, manager Jeff Banister said.Alvarez is a hard-throwing lefty with 3.00 ERA with 28 strikeouts and five walks in 15 innings. He has held opponents to a .200 batting average.The Rangers did give up highly-regarded power prospect Travis Demeritte. The 21-year-old infielder was hitting .272 with 25 home runs in 88 games for High-Class A High Desert.Daniels added the Rangers arent necessarily done with the trade deadline looming Monday. While the search for arms tops the list, upgrading other facets of the club could be on the table.I wouldnt rule anything out, Daniels said, but pitching is our priority.Texas took the last two of three last weekend in Kansas City and it 6-4 against the Royals since the start of 2015. The teams split four games in Arlington in 2015, but the Rangers are just 5-7 against Kansas City at Globe Life Park since start of 2012.Royals manager Ned Yost held a team meeting before Wednesdays 7-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels to try to ease concerns for a club thats fading in the standings and is inundated with trade rumors.The get-together was quick -- Yost said about two minutes -- and to the point.We know what we have ahead of us, weve known the trials that weve been through in the past and weve known that weve had our backs against the wall before, he told MLB.com. You know that you always come out of it. Just go out, enjoy your teammates and play the game like you did when you were 12 years old. Thats what we do so well when were successful, is we just go out and play hard and have fun doing it. So sometimes you just take a step back and relax a little bit and inch your way out. ' ' '
