Melbourne wants its A-League crowd record back, and Victory coach Kevin Muscat says a derby date at the MCG will make it happen.Until Saturday nights blockbuster Sydney derby, which attracted 61,880 people to ANZ Stadium, it was Victory which had monopolised the big A-League crowds.The top four regular-season attendances in the first decade of the competition - and the biggest two grand finals - were packed out by Melbourne Victory fans at Etihad Stadium.The biggest club in the country isnt used to playing second fiddle, and Muscat said hed like a crack at a similar marquee fixture next year at the countrys grandest ground to see how big it could be.Im up for it, he told AAP.Strategically it would take some thought ... but whos to say if we took round one there this year how big it would have been?The MCG is no stranger to big-time soccer.Real Madrids match with Manchester City last year drew in more than 99,000, while recent visits from Greek and Italian national teams have drawn crowds around 90,000.The round-ball game and the MCG is still most closely associated with the heartbreaking 2-2 result with Iran in 1997 which saw Australia miss the 1998 World Cup on away goals, again in front of a huge crowd of 98,000.Muscat said the chief concern of any A-League matches on the ground should be the pitch, both for player safety reasons and to ensure a good spectacle.That always gets overlooked, he said.Im not saying the MCG wont be right but that should be the first priority.We shouldnt be thinking we could get an extra 20,000 in because that 20,000 that dont go to the game normally will go home disappointed and the entertainers go look what I had to work with.The product is king.You can build the best restaurant and fill it out with all kinds of entertainment - people blowing fire out of their mouths and jugglers - but if the foods bad you dont go back to see the juggler.Victory take on Melbourne City at Etihad Stadium in their first Melbourne derby of the season on Saturday, but expectations for a sellout crowd are lower than usual due to the Socceroos match at the same venue on Tuesday night.Citys emergence as an A-League force, including the arrival of Socceroo legend Tim Cahill, has only elevated the contest.Its the biggest one ever, Muscat said, until the next one.Theyre great games regardless of which players are playing in them and the rivalry is just going to grow and grow and grow.

KAZAN, Russia -- World Cup winner Germany will play South American champion Chile in the group stage of next years Confederations Cup.The Germans will also take on Australia and the African champion, to be determined in February, in Group B.Its good opportunity for some younger players but we will have a strong team, said Germany coach Joachim Loew, who is planning to rest some senior players.European champion Portugal will face hosts Russia in Group A, along with Mexico and New Zealand. Russia will play New Zealand in the opening game in St. Petersburg.I think its going to be a very difficult group with Russia, the host nation for the tournament, with a new coach and a lot of ambition, Portugal coach Fernando Santos said. We are not favorites but we are here to play to win.The tournament runs from June 17 to July 2 next year in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and Sochi, and is a warmup event for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Its a key test for some of the trickier areas of Russias preparations, including the costly and much delayed 69,000-seat St. Petersburg stadium. Russian President Vladimir Putin told FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Friday that tthe stadium would be finished by the end of next month.ddddddddddddhe Confederations Cups future after 2017 is uncertain, with Infantino saying earlier Saturday that the format could be changed and we are putting everything on the table.Thats because the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be held in November and December, meaning the Confederations Cup would cause severe disruption to the club calendar if held in its traditional slot a year before the bigger tournament.Infantino said FIFA officials are discussing questions such as Shall we play it in June? Shall we play it in November? Shall we think about the format?Last year, then-FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said the 2021 tournament would be moved from Qatar and played elsewhere in Asia.The Confederations Cup features many of the best teams in world football -- with FIFAs six continental champions, plus the World Cup holder and the following years World Cup host. But it has struggled to build a distinct identity beyond being simply a test event for a larger tournament.
