Gary Van Egmond is still the best, but Aurelio Vidmar is on the move...and quick.
Van Egmond's side were a goal down to Adelaide and having used their three subs and when Jason
Hoffman got injured they were down to ten.
But Van Egmond did what few coaches ever do even when they have a full complement.
For quite a while now, I've been getting questions and comments about the WCR
Weekly Top 25. Some weeks, I try to go into a little detail regarding the purpose and
reasoning of the rankings, but it becomes cumbersome to try to give explanations and principles on
a weekly basis.
This weekend sees teams all over Europe start their journey towards South Africa. In Asia however,
we have been at it for almost a year and over 30 nations have seen dreams of 2010 already

matches.
Brisbane boy and Australia's best ever ref Mark Shields will end his refereeing career in Round 8
of the current A-League season, in 3 weeks. Last year Mark was named Asia's top ref and he put in a
stand out performance in the 2006 World Cup.
Mark said today that he was spending too much time away from his young family.
It's been an emotional couple of weeks of Adelaide's Robbie Cornthwaite.
The club's foundation defender has not only found himself unwittingly dragged into a spitting storm
but he's also been the target of abuse from his own supporters for scoring a horror own goal in the
away leg of the AFC Champions League quarter-final against Kashima Antlers

goal which secured a 2-1 aggregate win over the 10-time Japanese champions and a passage into the
final four.
