New Melbourne Victory interim coach Jim Magilton isn't just a football manager. He was also quite a
decent player in his day and at 42 years of age he's still got the skills. Here he is wipping in
some nice free kicks that even Carlos Hernandez would be proud of in the Hyundai Football
Challenge last year.
Rocky Visconte was the man of this match. Not because he was the best player, but because he played
so much better than he has before. Ange starting him over Issy added new Broich like movement to
the Roar on attack. For the first time in 5 games, Brisbane had a midfield that was always
searching forward, looking to beat the first defender and so drawing the second across and creating

older players but fans of the game know that partnership is little threat.
Harry Kewell and Carlos Hernandez have been called up for Australia and Costa Rica respectively,
for matches in November. Australia face Oman on the 11th and Thailand on the 15th in crucial World
Cup Qualifiers. Australia coach Holger Osieck says he knows what Kewell can bring to the team but
that he will need to
21,000 rocked the Adelaide Oval last night as United beat Melbourne Victory 2-1.
Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful players on show. Too many to mention but Marvin Angulo for Victory
continues to catch the eye.
As did Travis Dodd with his winner - what was Michael Petkovic doing - make that all season.
