The FFA might not want a team in the A-League from Canberra but Canberra will host up to seven
games in the 2015 Asia Cup.
Fantastic.
Now show us how the FFA, Capital Football, ACT Government has any plan to use this huge and

and a legacy for the kids who play the game in Canberra.
While the Aussies played a 0-0 draw with UAE last night as they start their Asian Cup 2011 bid on
the weekend it was announced by AFC President and Qatari Bin Hamman that Australia has won the

Is David Luiz destined to be a pillar of the defence and a leader of men for club and country? With
their latest Brazilian acquisition, have Chelsea signed the new Lucio?

defending with disciplinary problems.
Having players and coaches around you that you can trust is critical for a team's success. Ben

key piece in that equation is Josh Wolff.
Josh Wolff and Ben Olsen had been teammates on the youth
national scene, at the 2000 Olympics and 2006 World Cup.
