Tonight's Match


It's hard to remember that, yes, there's a game on tonight. Kickoff at Melbourne's Olympic Park is less than a minute away. After helping the socceroos come to terms with Uruguay and sharing a song and a dance with John Travolta, Archie Thompson is back for the Victory. They certainly need him to fire since they haven't scored a goal in their last three games! Meanwhile, the Mariners are missing Andre Gumprecht, another big blow to the all-important midfield engine room that has been a strength of the Mariners early success (e.g. winning the pre-season cup).

It's been a fantastic week, let's hope this round's matches cap it all off in spectacular fashion.

In the toughest market to crack, Melbourne is getting great crowds without being all that successful at home. Seems people really wanted a team to follow. Well done Melbourne-type-people. :-)
