As much as I hope the New Zealand Knights will perform well, I can't see it happening. No idea what the strength of the Australian sides are like at the moment, Perth was fairly good in the NSL so I'll go with them.

NZ knights? did they change it from the Kingz?

 

[membersstand]

Although I'll be strongly supporting Sydney, Melbourne seem to have by far the best players on the books

Yes, don't really know why but that's New Zealand soccer for you.

Come on the ROAR!! Really looking forward to this starting. I'm expecting big things from the A League and I'll definitely watch as many games as I can thanks to Optus and Fox Sports

bit early to tell imo...

Gotta think that Sydney is the frontrunner. They have a really nice balanced & experienced squad, not to mention Zdrillic & Corica. If they can secure Dwight Yorke & he plays well they'll be hard to stop.

Melbourne will be a top team with Archie Thompson & Andy Vlahos, but I worry about public support. There doesn't seem to be nearly as much public excitement about Melbourne as, say, Sydney Perth or Adelaide.

"QLD Roar"?? Stuck between aa rock & a hard place. They've been around since the 1950's so it must have been hard for them to have to change their name. They wanted to originally change it to "Pride" because of its connotation to a group of Lions, but there's a gay association in QLD called "the pride" so they didn't want to go there, considering that so many Rugby League neanderthals still call Soccer players "poofters".

Sydney FC for me, They have everything going for them....

Who cares?

I went to a couple of Glory matches last year, but that had more of a "sing when your winning" feel to it rather than actually paying to watch soccer.
So I voted for them, cos they won last year (and the year before IIRC?)

i havent even chosen a team support yet, i dont really like any of the old sides, could go for the central coast i guess...

 

[Mister Wright]

I might go for the side that plays an interesting & exciting match, oh wait...we're talking about soccer, that's impossible.

i use to be like u kyle, up to 4 or 5 years ago, but then i saw the light and love the game...
i dont think u can fully appreciate football until you get an idea of just how technical the game is on and off the field...

What's there to understand? The ball goes back and forth, then nothing happens in the game for about 20 mins, then there's a riot because one team scores...

and theres your lack of understanding right there...
it doesnt bother me that people dont like football because i can see how people would see the sport exactly as you do...
