Carlos! Champion!

But seriously, Muscat's Plan A is as good as Ange's (because it's the same), but his Plan B doesn't seem to exist all that much. Archie was knackered after 60 min but played out the game, and he took off Troisi who was on a hat-trick.

Hearts fan spotted.

I agree that this year is looking exciting tho, there seems to be enough drama every other week to make a lot of games 6-pointers.

And how long have sen been doing live commentary? I've quite literally just found them on the radio and its amazing, just a shame that my car radio makes it sound like one of those spooky Russian number stations

Seasons been off to a typical start - plenty of bloopers for the season highlight reel but the drama llama seems to be bigger than normal this year. Which is awesome, even though the football might not quite be yet.

SEN been doing it for a while for the Melbourne matches IIRC, but all matches are played (and streamed) on ABC Local Radio in that particular teams town, or on Grandstand Digital and Online if your not in town. How this goes for fans overseas I'm not sure. CoastFM for those on the Central Goats are also still broadcasting matches, so I suspect all the old hometown broadcasters are still doing it.

Adds up to some pretty significant exposure. Might be enough to cement the code as number 3 in this country, and everyone's "B" League, much like cricket is to the AFL/Rugby/League hordes.

It obviously has surpassed state-level cricket as the summer sport of choice but if Australia keeps sucking in internationals it'll be the summer sport. In fact, some commentators are already saying it is (Victorian ones at that!)

This week Hyundai A-League game of the week on Fox Sports 2 (which is showing the world championship of Ping Pong from Las Vegas) is on a day earlier because Fox loves showing replays of UFC fights from brazil that aired a hour or two before on the main Fox Sports 1. Anyway in another three hour the Melbourne Victory will be taking on Sydney FC starting at 4:30 am est/3:30 am cst/1:30 am pst.

If you have unlimited internet that could be okay. Like everything it's set up so you have to pay 50 a month to get the 25 you want but still, it's a start.

I can't wait till the day we get online streaming services like the NBA/MLB/NFL in the states. :smith:

At the moment I'm really getting in to the SEN coverage, I recommend it heartily if you need your fix and can't get to the games - they do a good job mic-ing up the crowd so the atmosphere pipes through pretty well.

Please note that this makes us enemies every 4 - 6 weeks for 90 or so minutes. Not really your fault, just general Collingwoodesque evil empire stuff all the non-victory plebs get. You understand.

If Clive Palmer ever went through with his mad scheme of a rival league I would have jumped ship so loving hard they'd still be talking about the children who choked to death in the wake of my cloud of dust.

Could you imagine being on the ground floor of all that insanity? "Oh yeah I was totally there when Mad Clive began the Palmer Australian Football Soccer United Football Association of Australia - I'm a foundation member of the Woollongong Triceratops :black101:"

Clive Palmer revolutionising football World Series Cricket style would be a hell of a thing. But then again, considering how one day cricket is faring these days it's probably for the best that he didn't.

Also, I should shut up about cricket in the A-League thread.
