The A-League Mid-Season Review

We are just past half way of the current A-League season, the most competitive in its short history. Besides the clear leader Brisbane Roar, just seven points separates 2nd to 8th place and even bottom placed Melbourne Heart still hope to make the finals. For the first time ever it seems that any team can truly beat anyone else on any given day, with Brisbane, Western Sydney and the Victory strangely suffering heavy losses at home. As we begin the run towards the finals it is time to have a look at how each team have progressed in the first half of the season.

Season 9 of the A-League Kicks Off !

The A-League has truly come a long way since its humble beginnings in 2005. I remember attending a Sydney FC pre-season match in early 2006, when football had finally come to the fore of the Australian sporting landscape. A journalist for the Sydney Morning Herald was at the match writing an article about the rise of the A-League and interviewed my friends and I. The article, found here http://www.smh.com.au/news/football/sydney-draw-friendly-coves-to-share-beer-and-pizza/2006/02/24/1140670269013.html, comments on how surprising it was to see fans travel so far to watch their team and how amazing it was to get 300 people to turn up and watch a training session. Fast forward six years, thousands of people showed up at the SFS last year to welcome Alessandro Del Piero and watch him train.
