Before I criticise the dark side of the Grand final, I would like to congratulate the Newcastle Jets on a deserved victory. It was a pleasure to watch their unique stylish football, the only one of its kind in the league. The Australian public was amazing as well, especially all the fans who came down [...]

John Kosmina has been rewarded for his revival of Sydney FC, and has been handed a two year extension to his contract with an option of a third year. Right from the start he has set high aspirations for the glamour club of the A-League, and after signing his new deal he continued his ambitious [...]

The Sydney FC fans have made the hilarious claim that Pim Verbeek looks like “Goldmember” from the 2002 Austin Powers movie! You be the judge, but personally I think there is [...]

Disclaimer: I’m really just biding my time, waiting for Dick Advocaat’s big special splendiferous announcement and the preparations for the Nigeria friendly to kick into gear, so I apologize ahead of time for the fluff…
Ok, I’m focusing on MLS for a minute but *I swear* what I’m writing about is related to this blog’s [...]

For the first time ever an Australian League will feature in the EA Sports range of FIFA games. FIFA 08 will have the league in its game. Archie Thompson will be the face of the region in the game interface. This will give the league invaluable exposure around the world, and yet another sign that [...]

The A-League is now into its third year. Considering the state of Australian football only five years ago, it has been an incredible success so far. This year has a lot to live up to. Can you believe there were 40,000 people at Telstra Dome for a match that wasn’t even a finals match? The [...]
