A-League Mens 24/25 - Round 2

Early good results for Auckland are important.

Nicely done by Borrello. Versatility for the national team so he's putting his hand up.

No, apparently a hamstring issue, or a good day out for a beer in Bondi. Take your pick.

I am praying it's the beer one, because he looks a great player so I'd be very happy if he's already causing issues lol
 
Saw the highlights of the syd v auckland game..sydney got some afc style reffing!

Worse than the behich letoff
 
Auckland are definitely a Corica coached team. They may be winning now but when they don't and the fans see how painful his teams are to watch then they'll turn on him like Sydney fans did.

Bit of a symptom of the ridiculously long off-season. See it every season. Opening rounds are usually pretty lacklustre unfortunately. Problem is that by the time the players are properly match fit and the teams are in good form, then the summer temps come into effect and the game slows right down. Best football in the A-League is the last 25% of rounds and the finals series. Problem is half the clubs aren't playing for anything by then so it's not as great as it could be (ie: if there was relegation battles happening the dynamic completely changes). Summer for football is just a bad idea all round. In a winter comp we'd still have the lacklustre starts from the long off-season, but the form would be increasing just as the temperature is decreasing. That means you get good form and high pace all at once. It's why the NPL feels better than it is. The lack of experience and fully-pro players is counteracted by a higher paced game. Then you have the risk of relegation thrown into the mix and you get some great viewing even for the neutral viewer.

good summary of how unfulfulling the comp is in one paragraph someguyfc.
 
What I learned from this weekend is that Victory are going to be challengers. It’s not just the way we beat City, but because there doesn’t seem to be a lot of competition out there. I’m expecting Sydney to be the main rivals. Possibly Wellington.

Why?

They are here to stay. You need to learn to live with it.

Both the NRL and NBL have Kiwi teams. Why shouldn't football.

And baseball until recently. I'm surprised they don't have a team in the BBL.
