Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici has pledged his immediate future to the Royals after reports linked him with a move to Liverpool.
The Australian goalkeeper impressed in both FA Cup games against the Premier League side but Federici is adamant his future lies at Madejski Stadium.
"I have worked so hard to be number one, why would I want to go up there, sit on the bench and start over?

Steven Gerrard rescued Liverpool again with an equaliser at the Madejski Stadium to earn an FA Cup third-round replay against Reading and avoid an embarrassing defeat.
It was hardly the most influential performance from Gerrard but the Liverpool skipper produced a goal when his side needed it most, as he does so often, meaning the two clubs will meet again at Anfield.

We have a new entry into the rumours of interest from Liverpool today as Adam Federici is thrown into the hat.
The Reading goalkeeper is believed to have impressed Rafa during the recent FA Cup match at the Madejski Stadium with the Reds Boss ready to watch him again in the replay at Anfield next week.

Reading insist they have had no contact from Liverpool over Adam Federici despite reports last week linking the keeper with a £2million move to Anfield.
Royals' caretaker manager Brian McDermott said that his 24-year-old keeper won't be affected by the speculation when the two teams meet in an FA Cup third-round replay tonight.

UPDATE: According to Anthony Smith at The Reading Chronicle, Liverpool have not made any contact with Federici. Federici said,

"It's been quite interesting to read about the stuff but I've had no contact from anyone ...But he obviously knew what he was doing and I've had no contact from any club .

Liverpool interested in Reading keeper Adam Federici.

As Emile Heskey raced through for a one-on-one with Adam Federici I did wonder if the bed-ridden Gabby Agbonglahor had as much chance scoring. I didn't fancy the big lump finding the back of the net, and by the looks of it neither did he. His tame effort was saved and in that instant Heskey's season was encapsulated.

Nic Townsend of Doing Goals examines Allsvenskan's contribution to the World Cup.

A friend of mine recently remarked that he didn't know why since he couldn't think of a single player currently playing for an Allsvenskan club who was likely to play in the World Cup.

O técnico interino Han Berger convocou a seleção da Austrália que irá enfrentar a Eslovênia, em amistoso do próximo dia 11 de agosto. Berger deixou o atacante Harry Kewell, umdos nomes mais famosos do time, fora da lista.
Kewell sofreu uma lesão e declarou-se indisponível para a lista de Berger para se recuperar de lesão.
