There was a time under the soon to be booted nicest man in football when Sydney won 1-0 - boring
but they won.
Then in season 2, they lost 1-0. More boring and more frustrating.
Now in Season 3 they lose, by 3, 4 or 5 and that's at home.
Mr Lavicka might be nice - but he's a pretty ordinary coach.
Viteslea Lavicka is leaving!
Well is he leaving or was he dumped? Guess it doesn't matter.
Has a manager in Australia, in Sydney, ever been given such an easy ride.
The media in Australia all write and tweet about the guy being a lovely bloke but what about his
coaching, how will he remembered?

Hearty congrats to the USWNT who are currently storming their way through the CONCACAF Olympic
Qualifying tournament with so much ease that they're actually attracting criticism.

The U.S. team has proved quite popular with the Canadian media so far (and thanks also to the
several American journalists in town!). Of course, the U.S. playes obliged with many interviews
which of course serve to promote the game, the team and the tournament. Above, Becky Sauerbrunn
gives her thoughts on various soccer topics.
Fantastic the football on the weekend.
Tucked into two games. Victory and Adelaide and Brisbane v Sydney.
What treats.
Harry Kewell turned back the clock with a wonderful performance, again. If Archie or Danny could
have finished one or two of their Harry inspired chances Victory would have won.
Brisbane thrashed Perth Glory with a stunning display against arguably the most inept visitors
since....well Adelaide United.
How good do Wellington look compared to these two teams. And this a Perth team that did so well in
Melbourne just last week. What does that tell us about Melbourne?
It was once the home of one of Australia's finest teams based in Sydney's southern suburbs, St.
George Budapest (who later became St. George Saints), playing in Australia's then-leading
professional division, the National Soccer League (they won the league in 1983). The club had a
rich history, having supplied almost half of Australia's 1974 World Cup team.
Canberra United are top of the league. By some margin.
Sally Shipard and Caitlin Munoz are in outstanding form and with Ashleigh Sykes scoring freely now
- Michelle Heyman always scores, and US import Taryn Hemmings belting it home on the weekend, the
good folk from the Capital are starting to get cocky!
Nicky Carle created the match winner and Mark Bridge scored his first goal for ages - won't do his
confidence any harm - and Carle if he ain't scoring the match decider he's setting them up.
Brett Emerton to return and Sydney FC already in Second place - winning away from home, winning at
the death, coming back from behind.
Any midfield that has Terry Antonis, Nicky Carle, Brett Emerton and Karol Kisel in it's line-up is
going to entertain.
Terry Antonis is all energy and all skill. And can only get better. His performances this season
have been outstanding and Sydney FC obviously realise this kids abilities.
Adelaide has the strongest squad in the A-League, Brisbane has the best team, system and coach.
The turn-up, oops didn't turn up, nature of the Adelaide team has been their greatest challenge.
Then there is the over-reliance on a single goalscorer (Van Dijk).
Despite not turning up against Perth, turning up big time against Melbourne and then not turning up
against Sydney last night, I think they will turn up against Brisbane.
Sydney are stronger this season - both in defence crucial to their Championship winning year under
Vitaslev and in attack.
Last year they lacked the mobility, pace and craft to hurt any team and always conceded-
eventually.
This year, anyone who saw their Brisbane performance will know that they were able to dominate the
Roar and should have been in the lead by half-time.
Good evening. Its been a week full of excitement as the first Melbourne Derby of the season draws
ever closer. I always look forward to the big games against Sydney and Adelaide but the derby is
quickly becoming just as passionate. The stakes are raised even higher this time as both teams have
started the
You know the competition is crap when you can pick most if not all of the winners every week.
The expanded AFL enables most fans to easily pick 6, 7 or sometimes 8 from 8. Don't believe me -
ask any AFL fan. Their problem. The EPL not so easy, but most fans know United, City, Chelsea,
Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs will be winners.
Three Melbourne Victory players in Adrian Leijer, Archie Thompson and Jimmy Jeggo have been named
in a 31-player Australia squad for a training camp in Sydney next week. Socceroos coach Holger
Osiek is staying true to his word on giving A-League based players a chance to impress and will use
the two day camp to
Melbourne 2 Sydney 2 Semi Final, 2nd Leg March 7, 2010 Its not long now until the new season kicks
off as the countdown reaches number 2! Todays classic match was one that had me on the edge of my
seat. After defeating Sydney 2-1 in the first leg, Melbourne were in a strong position
Good afternoon Victory fans! Well, another match day is upon us and what a game its set to be
tonight, away to Adelaide with a sell-out crowd confirmed. With us drawing with Sydney last week
and United going down to Perth 1-0, both teams will be desperate for the three points. Adelaide may
have lost
Sydney were value in the first half, pushing hard mainly via Emerton on the left. The ground was
wet and at times it seemed to be raining, leading to spectacles like 2 Roar foul throws in a row.
However, in the second half Brisbane kept the ball clear of Emerton, and Sydney ran out of steam.
The last 30 minutes of the game were not even close as Roar's possession pushed up to 80%.
Top group:Favourite - Adelaide - amazing recruitment
Victory (Kewell factor?)Roar
Bottom group:Perth, Wellington, Heart, Newcastle (great start guys:) )
Question marks:Sydney (will Emmo make the difference), CCM (will their Roar style no marquee
approach pay dividends?), Gold Coast (will their Dutchmen payoff?

It's brilliant the lads have got us through the whole of the off-season and now they are starting
to fire. Harry, Holger, Socceroos, Olyroos, they are all over it - and the W-League as well.

By Gina Baldassarre, writing from Sydney
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.
I was sad when Mr Flores left for China, he has so much skill - and then Bernie said Harry wasn't
coming. Harry has a fair bit of skill too - although he may yet turn up.
I'm a Celtic fan and although Liam Miller (not so much skill) signed for former Rangers player
Fergusons' Perth Glory I wasn't that happy about the stars of the new A-League season - albeit a
long long way off.

We've got Aussie football covered. Sydney FC - the new AGE team of the East? Matildas, FIFA and
more. We've got all the news, and how many football poddies only cover Aussie football?
We are clearly Australia's number one football poddie, apart from all the others, We discuss all
the news from Australian football.
There will be less money for the A-League. Fox Sports has upper the ante for the AFL and will show
every game, every week (except the Final), live.
AFL has cemented its place with Gridiron, as the most profitable sport in the world. Built on a
solid monopoly that ensures clubs and players, ultimately, do as they are told.

Lindsay Tarpley has some fun with the Chinese saleswomenThe U.S. team has been quite busy in China with training, a game, meetings, video and/or weights
every day since the team arrived. Still, when you're on the U.S. WNT, there's always time for
shopping, especially when there are some great deals to be had.
U.S. players get a good warm-up in the chilly climes of Chongqing
The U.S. team finished a busy day of training (which also included a post-dinner meeting) at a
different field from the one it had been training on. The trip into the foothills was a bit odd
(some small fields of vegatables, broken down brick structures, what looked to be an old damn, a
road that definitely needed a guard rail where there was none, a few stray chickens, and some
amazing art work upon entering the school where college was well), but after the team got there,
they found another excellent field on which to train.
Caroline Wozniacki llegó a lo más alto del ránking WTA alcanzando los cuartos de final del
torneo de Pekín. Y sin haber ganado aún un Grand Slam fue nombrada la numero uno del mundo en el
tenis femenil, que no tiene nada de malo pero este puesto está impostado porque Serena Williams no
estuvo presente desde octubre del 2010 hasta fin de año.
Heather O'Reilly goes airborn to volley past Nicole Barnhart
Today was best described as "yuchy" in Chongqing as the U.S. team actually trained under
snowflakes. It wasn't sticking on the ground, but for part of the practice, it was in fact snowing
on a cold, dark and wet day in central China.
How come all the organisers of football, the media, the FFA, the whole lot of em run everything out
of Sydney...or so it seems.
So tonights plan to "Save the Game" or some other such football fanfest, while of course an
interesting intiative - but we hold it in Sydney.
Reckon Adelaide would have been better - at least they'd get a few fans!
Is that Brittany Taylor or Flo Jo?
The U.S. Women's National Team has traditionally undergone fitness testing during the
first training camp of a new year and 2011 is no different. The only difference was that the
players who were in Cancun, Mexico for Women's World Cup qualifying were exempt.

MELBOURNE, Australia - Melburnians might think they live in Australia's sporting capital but the

The Asian Football Confederation has announced that Australia will host the AFC Asian Cup 2015,

Territory.
