Last night both myself and my fellow supporters finally got to see the Melbourne Victory play
football the way we had wanted them to play all season. Well, expect for me couple of people who
were sitting to my front and rear who find reason to criticise at every opportunity. Goals to
Hernandez, Ward and Patafta saw the Victory record a 3-0 win over the Wellington Phoenix.

Whilst Kevin Muscat, Rodrigo Vargas and Archie Thompson all are in camp hoping for an international
call-up against Qatar next Wednesday night, Melbourne Victory's very own Carlos Hernandez is
already on international duty with Costa Rica. Los Ticos took on a coachless Iran in an empty Azadi
Stadium (a stadium I would very much like to visit) and by all accounts the match was a rather drab
affair finishing 0-0.

With the upcoming crucial games against Gamba Osaka for Melbourne Victory in the Asian Champions
League I decided to find out more about our opposition. So thanks to Mike Tuckerman, an Australian
who lives in Japan and a mad Shimizu S-Pulse fan, who has provided some insight into Gamba Osaka.
His blog is also worth checking out if you are a fan of the J-League as well.

Mike Tuckerman, whom I asked to help out with some Gamba Osaka scouting, wrote an interesting
article titled "Gamba Osaka vs Melbourne Victory: excuses at the ready?" asking who would be coming
up with the excuses after last night's clash between the two teams as many were offered after their
first clash.

More often than not football and film do not make a good mix but with Zidane: A 21st Century
Portrait the combination is almost perfect. The film is the creation of Turner winning artist and
filmmaker Douglas Gordon and French artist Philippe Parreno and is a study of one man, Zinedine
Zidane.
This film is brilliantly executed as seventeen cameras follow the every movement that Zidane makes
during the course of a La Liga match between Real Madrid and Villareal in the Santiago Bernabeau
Stadium.

Two books that I have read recently are worthy of a joint review as they both deal with the same
subject matter, being a spectator at the FIFA World Cup. The two books being
Dancing In The
Streets: Tales from World Cup City by Don Watson and
Australia United by Tony
Wilson.
Dancing In The Streets is the story of Don Watson, a Scotsman, who follows Celtic and Leeds
and his journey to the USA to follow the fortunes of Ireland at the 1994 World Cup.

While it was disappointing to go down to Gamba Osaka in the dying minutes of what had been a
pulsating match, the reality is that on the night the better team probably won. Although Gamba
Osaka is making a habit of scoring in the penultimate minutes of matches having done so in all of
their ACL games so far this campaign.
