Just to mess with your head, Sydney Olympic at currently playing and losing to the Bentleigh Greens, it's Brisbane Olympic who are playing the Mariners. Both Olympics had NPL finals this week, I think both lost so they're probably hosed body and soul

I like him because he once came to my local clubs 5-a-side tournie about 3 million years ago when he played for Carlton. They made it seem like a big deal and I had no idea who he was but mum has loved him ever since

Up to that point he was their MOM. And probably still is.

But the ground started slippery, and then got worse as the dew formed. Good tactic by the home side up to that goal.

Here is my lovely abortive start of an op, take it and run wild young man

The Hyundai A League is a villainous hive of scum and iniquity. There are 10 teams full of terrible players nobody including the people who go every week have ever heard of and David Villa. The reffing is poor but kicking people who are too tricky is generally allowed and you are guaranteed at least one hilarious defensive fuckup leading to a goal every game. The games are played in the Australian summer to cash in on people being excited that actual football is happening in somebody else’s winter. Last Season the Brisbane Roar won both the regular season and the playoffs after beating the scummiest team in the world the Western Sydney Wanderers in the grand final. In the lead up to the final the entire sporting media spent pages and pages explaining why it was best for football that Sydney won, then they lost and the next weekend on Offsiders they didn’t even mention who won. In short, gently caress the press and gently caress everyone south of the Tweed.

The Teams

Brisbane Roar

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/ea/Brisbane_Roar_FC_%282014%E2%80%93%29.jpg/200px-Brisbane_Roar_FC_%282014%E2%80%93%29.jpg

Best team in the A League. Only team to win the grand final 3 times, only team to win the grand final twice in a row. The manager is one of the few coaches in world football to have won the top flight of both the Women’s and the Men’s competition. The coach who won back to back titles is now the coach of the Australian team who played exciting yet sad matches at the world cup.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/BroichTh.jpg

The best player is Thomas Broich, a German midfielder who controls all the attacking play and gets kicked a lot. He has been the most fouled player in the league every season he has played for the Roar. Best known for his absolute refusal to take a shot on goal.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Liam_Miller.jpg/220px-Liam_Miller.jpg

The worst player is Liam Miller which is hilarious because last season he got an in form card in FUT.

???

Scummiest player I have no clue about because the clear favourite is now in Melbourne.




edit: Please at least do a scummiest player at each team because I badly want to see Jarrod Polenz described as 'the only thing dirtier than his play is his hair'

Lol I completely forgot about the Roar's new crest, it looks like a badge on the front of my hand assembled fixie.

I wrote a thing about Victory if you like because 1) I don't actually pay attention the the rest of the league enough to write a funny op, and 2) I'm gay

Melbourne Victory



Really good, the best team, the only team with endless mdt posting from known shitposters such as myself. Biggest team in the league, with the best fans 5 years running, and deservedly favourites for the upcoming season. Managed by paragon of sporting fairness, Kevin 'don't go past me or I will break your legs' Muscat




The actual best player in the league is Leigh Broxham, a versatile and inventive central midfielder, who despite being 5 ft 6 can capably fill in at central defense to shut down Emile Heskey, can smash in long range volleys from midfield, and was the first player to come through from the terraces to the pitch, having volunteered as the kit man at the club before winning a trial and then going on to be the current vice-captain.



Closely following DJ Beat Brox is Gui Finkler, a Brazilian wizard who has an eye for a pass, a great shot from a dead ball, and will be providing the balls through to last season's top scorer Besart Berisha.


The worst player at Victory is this lad, Jason Geria. Despite having a lots of pace and energy, and being pretty strong along with having a great wingspan, he's absolute gash.


Scummiest player is easily the known Serbian, Big Bes Berisha. He's not dirty, he's just tenacious and wants to win.

I think we got rid of the albanian axe murderer at the right time because his kicking people in the face antics are finally starting to catch up with him. But know how sport governing bodies work in this country they will stop punishing him now he plays south of the tweed.

You guys are doing way better than I was going to do, work has been destroying me lately and I don't think I could really have done anything.


Would have been ASCII and poo poo.


Melbourne Victory to win the league this year, we are the evil empire and frankly no one likes it when the good guys win all the time. gently caress em. gently caress me.

I can't wait, I'm gonna get rowdy and rambunctious both online and in the stadium and throw up on the train home/pass out in the toilet and get kicked out by the conductor. Best fuckin game.
