MELBOURNE, Australia — Melbourne Victory captain Manny Muscat will likely end his career in
Australian football's A-League under suspension after being banned for eight weeks for a dangerous
tackle. Muscat, a Malta international, was handed the ban for a tackle on the Melbourne Heart's
Adrian Zahra during a heated derby last weekend.
The first round of matches of the new year have featured a few Argentine-inspired flashpoints, as
well as the news that Gonzalo Higuaín's season is officially over; an operation on a hernia will
sideline him for six months. Carlos Tevez ... Continue reading →
Not sure of the value but it took three seconds to make the Nearpost Newspaper - beat that SMH!
WELLINGTON, New Zealand The Wellington Phoenix will play their postponed match against the Brisbane
Roar on the Gold Coast it was announced today. The match which was set to take place last Sunday
night at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium was postponed and moved to January 26 due to flooding in the
Brisbane area.
Heard the one about the A-League club struggling for crowds and funds?
Yep at seasons end Gold Coast United bring in Shane Smeltz, Korean import Sung-Kil Kim and
Bundesliga player Peter Perchtold. That's expensive, less expensive and probably expensive.
But on 2500 fans and trying to engage the community Chris Harald, Youth Team Captain Stephen
Lustica and others miss out.
DOHA, Qatar Socceroos midfielder Jason Culina will miss the rest of Australia's Asian Cup campaign
because of a serious knee injury that has forced him home early from Qatar. A shattered Culina was
released from Socceroos camp just hours before Australia's 1-0 quarter-final win over Iraq at

Finals for the first time.
Sure it was close but Matt McKay, Sas Ognenovski, David Carney, Mile Jedinak and Nathan Burns were
a few of the A-League made players who are not comfortable in the Green and Gold.
Harry did it in the last minute but for most of us followers of Aussie football it was Matt McKay

Now we know the coverage the tennis gets, even the cricket on Free-To-Air but it was the hidden
A-League that gets the biggest crowd in Melbourne last night.
What would we get if we could increase the media coverage, fta coverage etc etc.
A-League Melbourne Victory Vs Melbourne Heart Crowd: 32,231
Twenty/20 Big Bash Victoria Vs New South Wales Crowd: 17,118
Australia Open Rod Laver Arena night session Crowd 26,000 (approx according to Channel Seven)
And I reckon the 20/20 Big Bash will soar - then die - as crowds reject the novelty.
