Sydney FC finished fourth in this years A-league and now have a trip to Hawaii to look forward to… thats pretty sweet considering they played like crap for most of last year. An all-expenses-paid sojourn at a luxury hotel close to Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, two matches at the all-seater, 50,000-capacity Aloha Stadium and no [...]
With one match remaining in Sydney and no chance of making the top four, Melbourne will be reviewing their season and asking themselves how they got it so wrong. Their recruiting at the end of last season and even before this one kicked off was getting praise from pundits far and wide cause they weren’t [...]
So we’re down to the business end of the A-league season and all top 4 teams are locked on 31 points heading into the final game day of the season. At stake a place in the Asian Champions League, potentially worth US$600,000 and a place in the World Club Championships.This has been the closest finish [...]
An ‘out of sorts’ LA Galaxy were outclassed by a fit and rejuvenated Sydney FC tonight in front of 83,000 fans… most of whom were there to see 1 man and the class that he brought to the field. And all it took was one moment of inspiration to delight the inner-skeptic among us all. [...]
David Beckham, the global phenomenon, landed in Sydney on the weekend and unless you’ve had your head up your arse you’d know that this man has pulling power. Women get hot and flustered at the site of him, young boys and girls wanna grow up to be just like him and men just wanna role [...]
So is the number 13 really unlucky, or is it just a myth? Decide for yourself. Both Kristian Sarkies and Kaz Patafta, talented attacking midfielders in their own right, have donned the number at Melbourne Victory yet never really showed their full potential. We know they’re talented, they were both invited by Guss Hiddink to [...]
Another mediocre round of matches saw Queensland’s young guns shine in a confidence boosting first win at Suncorp since December last year, while Melbourne kept up their unbeaten start to the season with a win in Sydney. The Mariner’s came from behind to earn a valuable point in the derby match of the round, where [...]
Watching the Melbourne vs Queensland match on Friday was more painful than sticking pins in my eyes or even watching under 10′s run around a field aimlessly for that matter. In all fairness to under 10′s though, even they’d be trying to impress their adoring parents standing on the side line barking out commands by [...]
5 games, 5 draws and 5 points. The Victory are currently sitting in fourth and are 1 of 3 teams not to have lost yet, even though they came very to close to it last night. In what was a lackluster first half, Newcastle dominated almost all areas of the match and were generally quicker [...]
Recently I discovered some little applications that rocked my world. Apparently, they’ve been a round for a while, but there was never a need for me to have to use them until the recent Euro 2008 qualifiers. Basically, you can watch live football matches from anywhere in the world, as long as they’re being televised [...]
OK, so I’ve had some time off and now I’m back with a fresh new outlook on the up and coming Asian Cup and football seasons. I’ll be taking a closer look at the teams, their preparations and tracking their movements in the transfer market. Speaking of which; Its fairly old news now in the [...]
We reported a couple of weeks ago that Fred, of Melbourne Victory… well formerly of Melb. Victory has now signed on with DC United of the MLS, just in time to face CD Guadalajara in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup. Details of the move have been kept private and pretty low key as [...]
I heard a rumour earlier today, that the flamboyant Brazillian attacking mid-fielder for Melbourne Victory, was bought by DC United (USA). I don’t know much more about this as i researched it on various sites and found nothing. Does anyone know anything more about this!? I’d be very interested in knowing the finer details, seeing [...]
Benito Carbone, the 35-year-old Italian, who enjoyed spells in England with Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford City, Aston Villa, Derby and Middlesbrough, joined Sydney on a four-game contract last year, is considering a move to A-League club Adelaide United. He claims that he enjoyed his limited time in Adelaide last year and he would like to negotiate [...]
Is this not one of the funniest things you’ve seen in sports!? When else would you ever get the chance to kiss the Prime Minister of Australia on the forehead like this, (without being tackled to the ground and pummeled by security)?Shit I’m full of questions this morning! Anyway, full creds to Kristian Sarkies for [...]
