Wow!! Didn't realize there were so many Aussies playing in Europe.  :045:

In fact, do you have any footballers left in Australia?

There's a handful Finn, amongst various South American journeymen and the odd SPL and EPL retirees. Dwight yorke, Juninho and now Robbie Fowler the three biggerst names to grace our A-League thus far. Dario Vidosci, at Duisberg was at Brisbane Roar and I really rate the kid. Might be a bit lightweight but he has the X factor and would often change a game over here. Had a good gam,e for the Socceroos recently too. Another 3 Roar youngsters have just gone over to Utrecht and 2 of them, Tommy Oar and Michael Zullo have real talent. Tommy only 18, Zullo 21 (?) now and if they keep progressing I'd love to see either of them at Fulahm one day. Adam Sarota got national youth league player of the year too but he hasn't dazzled me yet. Still pretty useful though and they'll all be sorely missed at BRFC.

I hope this translates into a good Cup run, I always pull for the aussies unless they are playing the US.  I also pull for the other concacaf teams but don't tell my fellow americans, we're supposed to hate them.

am I the only one to wonder if Dynamo Kiev had given up an early goal to Tom Tomsk, the papers would have led with "Tom Tomsk Turnaround"
