It's that time of year again. ( ...Time

A redoubtable Houston Dynamo fan named Marty, who
runs an informative blog dedicated to his MLS side,
has kindly offered to provide some information on the Houston team, which faces Sydney FC in their opening encounter in this week's Pan-Pacific ...

It was hardly the opening to the competition
that neutrals would have been hoping for, but there
were a few hopeful signs. From a Mariners point of view, it was good to see Nik Mrdja back in action and looking fairly sharp. In tandem with Saso ...

Last night's Queensland v. Adelaide match had all
the features that the competition opener didn't: real intensity,
good interplay, some fine goals, and a number of impressive performances from younger players. Although the game was played at a frantic ...

Ladies and gentlemen, the youth league has landed
. For the first time in Australia's football history,
we will have a nationwide youth league, and the FFA are to be commended for the initiative. Having said that, plenty of questions remain; not only ...

The more one looks at the new youth
league setup, the more it seems geared towards 16-18-year-olds
rather than the higher end of the age range. Rob Baan's additional comments, reported here , certainly suggest as much. In fairness, the title of the ...

I closed my last post with observation that
Australia needed to show its opponents respect in this
tournament, but had no need to approach their group games with any fear. In tonight's match against an admirable Oman side, Graham Arnold's men did not ...

The FIFA altitude saga has finally descended into
high farce, with FIFA now allowing Bolivia to play
its international matches in La Paz, regardless of the revised 3,000 metre limit. Hard cases make bad law, they say. And you could get few better ...

Perhaps Mark Shield felt that, given the physicality
of the A-League so far, he needed to impose
his authority on last night's game from the outset. The result, however, was not a well-behaved game, but a spiteful and dissent-ridden match, due to ...

First of all, congratulations to the Central Coast
Mariners for securing the most sought-after signature in Australian
football...that of John "Citizenship Test" Aloisi. Now to the point. Should they have been able to sign him, given the presence of a ...

So the grand Australian football plan is finally
here ...weighing in at about 3.5MB, for those with
download limits to keep an eye on. And there's plenty to like about it, although there isn't much there that wasn't expected. One would assume that the ...

So Sydney FC are out of the finals
series at the first hurdle once again...and there were
plenty of echoes of last season's debacle in Newcastle last night. There was the first-half sendoff; unlike Alex Brosque a year ago, who was simply foolish, ...

Congratulations to Gary van Egmond and the Newcastle
Jets. On the balance of play they were the
better side this evening, although it's probably fair to say that both teams were playing well below their best. Spare a thought, if you will, for Tony ...

Spot what’s wrong with this picture. In Round
7 of this year’s A-League, Joel Griffiths – top-scorer
for the eventual champions, and everyone’s choice for player of the season – punches an unsuspecting linesman in the groin, in the third ...

Well, the 2008/09 season of the A-League has
landed , with the first round featuring a grand
final replay and a Sydney-Melbourne grudge match (or perhaps, on the basis of last season's encounters between the two teams, drudge match is a more ...

I've never been very good at farewells, but...
TFT will be shutting up shop for the foreseeable
future due to changing work and family commitments. Just in time for the Socceroos' mad month of qualifiers (my sense of timing has never been good). ...
