Nothing it would seem tiga.

I admit I am not a soccer fan. Find it a boring game not enough scoring for me - though some team team scored 8 goals against A-rsenal this monring I heard  ;D.

I can sit through the odd EPL game but the A-League is just a boring spectacle to me

Im with you WP. I watch the world cups and the occasional EPL but can't stand A-League. Im not sure if thats because there's no marquee players that draw me in or just the standard of play.

"Standard of play"

Thanks tiger101

I was trying to think of the right phrase to use but the brain isn't functioning to well today with these new super strength anti-biotics I am on and couldn't think fo the right words

But that's it "Standard of play"

That's what I find boring - there just isn't any flare in the games

I'd rather watch EPL La Liga or VPL than watch the A League.

Manchester Utd are the team to beat again this year.

If you are expecting the australia domestic football league to be of equal standard of benchmark Germany, Spain, England then you will not be pleased.

But it is natural for our
most talented to be drawn to the everton, ac Milan of the world.

If the aleague can turn out a good b grade league then millions of Aussies will be happy In ten, plus Years. No one is asking you to like it wp but why the hate? Mr dusty martin Is a Mvfc
fan.

Poor Harry must have felt like Benny Cousins arriving at Tullamarine today with that media scrum around him.

He played in Europe champions league finals. World cups.  He wouldn't be too worried.

40k turned up to see Harry tonight.  He played fairly well over the whole 90mins considering he hasn't played or even trained much with the rest of the team.

Both keepers played out of their skin to keep it somehow nil all. Emerton (who was average) missed a penalty in the first half while Victory just couldn't get it past Reddy despite peppering the goals. Rojas, Foschini, Fabio and Covic were probably best for Melbourne.

Full house at Hindmarsh but a 10-man Victory were ordinary and lost 0-1 to Adelaide Utd.
