You're Foul Noel




















Hollywood soccer nut Anthony LaPaglia has put the boot into jaded Oasis gibberer Noel Gallagher for bagging the Socceroos.

Back to watch his beloved Sydney FC in their grudge match against Melbourne Victory at Aussie Stadium tonight, the LA-based Australian actor ripped into the British rock star, who this week called the Socceroos "sh**'' and said he would like to kick Tim Cahill in the "b******s''.

"Was he sober when he said that,'' LaPaglia said.

"When was the last time he had a No. 1 hit anyway?''

The Without A Trace star went into bat for the Australian game, just hours after arriving on what is a shotgun two-day trip here to catch tonight's game.

"(Gallagher) obviously didn't watch too much of the World Cup because I thought the Australians including Tim Cahill were tremendous,'' LaPaglia said.

"They certainly earned the respect of the football world and the people who count. Comments by people like him should be treated with contempt.''

A Sydney FC shareholder, LaPaglia's flying visit back to Australia is the seventh he has made simply to watch his team go around since the A-League kicked off last year.

Having turned up to training yesterday where he chatted with players including Sasho Petrovski and Alex Brosque, he will watch tonight's match from the chairman's box alongside Brazilian great Romario before having a few beers with the boys at the post-match function at Star City.

LaPaglia flies back to LA first thing tomorrow morning.
