Sydney FC match goes free to air

...for a day on 27th November 2007.

Ben Buckley(a.k.a. Mr Invisible) on the FFA website: “I am also very pleased to announce that Network Ten will broadcast this major event live nationally in a three hour special presentation."

He was, of course, talking about the upcoming visit by 'the team that David Beckham plays for now' (a.k.a. LA Galaxy).

Well, its a start. From lil things big things grow.

Leeding the Way

Ahhh......the good old days...


Kewell Viduka,0
Thanks to the Age


Thats what I was reminded of as I watched the Socceroos v Singapore highlights on SBS this afternoon.

Kewell takes on and skins a player on the left flank, and crosses in for Mark Viduka to nod it into the back of the net.

Not since those heady days back at Leeds Utd have we had the chance to enjoy a match when both Harry and Dukes have hit the score-sheet in the most convincing of fashion.

I'm an optimist, and whilst many have criticised the performance as being a lack lustre one, I put it down to a stiff week of intense physical training in stifling conditions. For me its more important to see the big man Viduka putting some goals away for country as per his club form, Schwarzer making some great saves and the side recovering after a dodgy first half effort.

And when you look at the quality that was sitting on the bench or not even named in the starting squad. you have to look forward to the coming month with many positive thoughts.

I will be watching some of the games live, thank goodness, thanks to Conaldo's generosity, or the local Newcastle pub. But kudo's go th the Australian FourFourTwo website - your text commentary was fantastic for us non Fox viewers.

Kewell and Viduka, thanks for bringing back the memories...
