1. For all lovers of great Australian football.
2. Ange is a better National Curriculum than any document the FFA have ever handed out to Community Coaches.
3. Ange plays the Aussie Youth, more often, more forward.
4. If you like movement, skill and tactics in football the Roar must win.

If you've ever watched the Brisbane Roar play - and most Aussie's don't have Fox Sports so will never have seen them - they play to instruction, tactic and a tempo rarely, some say never, seen in Australia.
There is many elements to their game but one is critical to Australian football development at all levels.

Former Gunner gives Fozzie some help - but Fox Sports drops that pin:)

Had to laugh on Fox Sports panel last night.
Stuart Houston, former Arsenal defender, is a commentator and discusses all things English football. (Dead boring bit of the show and I normally switch off but last night I stayed for a while.)
So when asked about the merits of Arry I can't write only add up dollars Rednapp for England he basically said Arry was a manager, he can't coach.

A bloggers role, in football, is perhaps simply to call and comment on things as they see them.
Free of entrepreneur "vision" or the paymasters check I can call it as I see it. Simple as that.
For too long Australian football media has produced unscintillating football reportage.

Yesterday we saw the release of the players who will be involved in the 2012 MLS Combine. It was quite the impressive list of 52 players and one that we here at Stumptown Footy will be pouring over as we look for potential candidates for the Timbers #8 pick in the 2012 SuperDraft.

One thing to note is that this is not the full list of players that will be involved in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft.

Great weekend for the believers in young Australian football players, attacking players.
Bernie Ibini, Mustafa Amini, Demi Petratos, Mate Dugandzic just some of the young Aussies hitting the net - and three of them are Under 20.
Laugh: Robbie Slater in his column on Sunday discussed how to beat the Roar - and he mentioned how Sydney would miss THE PACE of Mark Bridge.

Tim Cahill - giving back to Aussie grassroots.....really?

Tim, let's call a spade a spade mate!
Seems having seen this stuff promoted across Australia on every media set going I'd thought I'd ask the question.
Is this Tim Cahill program really giving back to grassroots football?
Now we all know Tim is a great bloke, has great compassion for Australia causes and has been a great role model for many both on the sporting and family field, and far be it for me to criticise Tim, but does anyone else feel the, "I really want to give back to the grassroots" line is a great big Scouse mickey-take.

They missed beating the greatest team in Australian football by four minutes in the Grand Final last year - and even with a few Olyroos missing they still comfortably accounted for an in-form Sydney FC.
Bernie Ibini-Isei has lifted the Mariners. Younger than McBreen more skilled than Matt Simon he's a forward with an increasing goal threat.

The idea of community, however tangible or intangible, real or imagined, flourishes at the very core of football. Without fans, football doesn't exist. Similarly, without readers, AFR would have died a long, long time ago. Conversation is the greatest source of sustenence in the beautiful game.

After a tiring, drawn-out saga, a contract has finally been signed, the dust is beginning to settle, and the prodigal son is coming home. And no, I'm not actually talking about Cescgate.

That's right my friends, those of us living down under have had twice the transfer drama to keep us on the edge of our seats this winter.

Harry Kewell the man who so nearly won the Asian Cup for Australia, in January 2011 is expected to sign for Melbourne Victory for THREE YEARS tomorrow.
This is great news for football fans, for the A-League and Australian football.
