The current table looks like this:
W D L P
1.Sydney 7 2 3 23
2.Adelaide 7 2 3 23
3.Perth 6 2 4 20
4.Newcastle 5 3 4 18
5.Melbourne 4 4 4 16
6.Queensland 4 4 4 16
7.Central Coast 4 3 5 15
8.New Zealand 1 0 11 3
As you can see, only eight teams are in the comp and that its pretty tight from 1-7. New Zealand is quickly becoming an embarassment with the FFA (Football Federation Australia) is trying to help them out. This is a bigger problem than you might think as there is no promotion/relegation system in Australia.
In general the results have been favouring the away teams which noone seems to be able to explain. Sydney of course are going well with Dwight Yorke and have signed for a short time Kazu - famed stiker from the J-League (Japan). When Sydney played last in Queensland everytime Yorke touched the ball, he was booed,
There has also been some good supporters groups from around the country, the most vocal being The Den's Roar Army and Roar Rejects, as well as the Melbourne Victory's The Union.
With Australia moving into the Asian Football Confederation from Oceania next year, the AFC and the FFA are trying to see if the top two Australian clubs can join this coming Asian Champions League. However there are some problems with the AFC planning a major overhaul of the ACL and the problem that if they do admit the Australians, they need to expand it from a 28 team comp to a 32 team comp, so then they need to work out who also gets in. The FFA are not optimistic however the AFC are trying to do all they can. The FFA is already being invited to AFC meetings even though they are not actual members as yet.
Finally, Queensland has been dominating in possession, and have the best defence in the league, while also dominating in midfield. However the fans have been frustrated by their inability to execute once in the penalty box. (Sounds like another one of my favourite teams) In fact, they have the second worst attacking record.
Anyway, I thought I'd update everyone as Liverpool fans do pride themselves on being some of the most knowledgable in the footballing community.
Cheers from Australia.
