A British jury has taken just over four hours to find soccer player Sam Kerr not guity on a charge of racially harassing a police officer. The captain of Australia’s national women’s team did not address the media outside the Kingston Crown Court, but subsequently issued a statement in which she apologised for her behaviour. Kerr acknowledged that she had expressed herself poorly on a "traumatic evening", adding that she had always maintained that she did not intend to insult or harm anyone. Kerr was charged after calling a male police constable "stupid and white".

A number of young soccer players in the Australian national squad are tipped to sign contracts with new clubs before the start of the European season in late August 2014 or the domestic A-League in October. Mathew Leckie, who played in both matches by the Socceroos at the World Cup so far, is switching from FSV Frankfurt to another German second division team, FC Ingolstadt 04, for a transfer fee of $A1m. However heightened interest after his appearances in Brazil may trigger a release clause. Others potentially on the market are Jason Davidson, Bailey Wright, Mark Milligan and Adam Taggart
