Aussies on the rise in football - just to help you Phil get past the atmosphere etc:)

Adam Sarota and Tommy Oar were named in the Eredivsie team of the week. And that's no mean feat is it?

And I couldn't help seeing a remarkable performance, again, from Trent Sainsbury at the heart of the Mariners defence. And he's fast.

James Virgili did some magical work to beat the Mariners experienced defence and lay a goal on a plate for Heskey. I want to see more of Virgili. Simply marvellous.

With Craig Goodwin displaying wonderful arrogance and Ben Halloran tearing it up for the Roar Aussie football is starting to get some wonderful young talent appearing on the scene.

Tom Rogic had his best game to date.

They all have a long way to go but isn't it great, each year, to see the next wannabees all over the A-League. And there seems to be more of them each year and they are coming through more prepared.

Han Berger program and focus taking shape at an individual level?

Pity Perth Glory can't find two or three - I might even watch them then.
