Australian Football Thread

[.::Stevo::.]

Well I though i'd create this thread since theres a thread on every league but ours.

Should be an interesting second season for the "A-League". Good to see the Melbourne Victory signing a few brazilian players!

What? Are they Brazilian 6th division players or something.

Isnt Yorke playing for one of the Australian clubs? Any other big name players?

 

[Mr. Kurns]

melbourne victory picked up Cluadinho and Allesandro if im right, im not sure on the spelling ro if im correct

 

[IloveGilly]

Yorke is probably the most famous player which the A-League had. Certainly adding more teams and recruiting better players to promote our game will start to be big.

True, plays for Sydney FC.

I know the "David Beckham of Korea" or something like that played a few games for Sydney FC. Wouldnt know of any other players, as I am not an avid fan.

Yorke is the only decent player their imo unless i've missed someone out.. alll australia national players are mostly based in europe and if not i think they'll get snapped up by a european team after a good performance at the World Cup.

Yeah, that was Miura, and he's actually Japanese...
He was on loan- used to be one of Asia's finest, I believe- and only played a few matches as you said. Neverthless, he was sorta past it, which is understandable seeing as he's nigh on forty years old...

Corica's with FC- he's by no means in the league of a star like Yorke, but he's still a former Socceroos player, meaning he's up there in a rather modest side. David Carney's, well, a young talent...
Anyway, the sport'll never really kick off until FTA t.v. gain partial broadcasting rights or something, in my opinion anyway. Still, it's been a decent success- anything'll look good in the face of that rubbish we used to call NSL, though.

Moved to the sports forum

 

[James219]

Why was this moved? It's not an AFL thread, just in case that was the mistake...

 

[Kev]

ooops, sorry I misread the title.

 

[sachin]

Lost!Can't believe it!With our team(some sixth division Brazilian players!),we should put up a better fight than our performance today!

Cheers for that.And just to clarify;one of the Brazilian players was playing for Internacional!Wow!He left them for us?!Must be the Melbourne weather!

 

[BigCrickNan]

Must be because he didn't play in the WC and came over to play in australia for the summer. Similar to Langer coming over to somerset in cricket.
