We don't really celebrate the history of the game enough. Some of the champions from the past should be household names. I wonder how much more gold there is in the archives:

So far so good with the matchups, I like the A-League clubs going up against each other, more chance for the underdogs to get through to the latter stages.

Loving the Cup commencing tonight. Football feast, local heroes, goals galore.

 

[Andonis1997]

The Bentleigh V Broadmeadows match was quality all the way through the 120mins.

Also heck yes Modbury! Definitely going into NPL next season, been a great year for them.

The Bentleigh V Broadmeadows match was quality all the way through the 120mins.

Also heck yes Modbury! Definitely going into NPL next season, been a great year for them.

Reserve keeper comes on and smashes 14 odd saves and probably man of the match. Suspicions of offside with the winner, but the better team definitely got through.
All my tips got up, pretty stoked. Excited for a second div too. A national second division would just be awesome, but I don't know how they could afford all these flights across the country?

Still can't find a venue anywhere for Western United V Melbourne Victory match. This is ridiculous by WU two weeks out. The F.A should force them to find a venue ASAP or risk the fixture being reversed.

 

[giggler99]

Well finally Venue confirmed at the home of Western.. sorry Victory. Might as well just reverse the fixture

Some smashing goals this week. I really can't wait for the second division, there's some real quality and potential waiting to be tapped.

What's the go with Gianluca Iannucci? Is he still at Victory? He had some quality touches for Green Gully.
