ASIAN CUP WRAP - Coming Australian FOOTBALL Season

THE ASIAN CUP WRAP UPMy tip on Iraq to win paid off and my Japan favoritism to make the final did not all in all I had a great time fllowing this competition. A lot of unknowns in the mix. Not just the teams but the addition of Drawn results as a viable bet gained me some valuable experience.
AUSTRALIA-where to nextInterestingly enough the satisfaction with the teams performance given the so called early exit has been widely seen as not so bad. Sure it is about winning but there is the reality of Australia's standing in the World of International Football and the lack of experience told in the results. A better planned preparation has been discussed by the players in the media. Along the lines that playing warm up games is more important than a training camp sceneario. Match fitness and team preparation in that area is high on the list for the future events. The MEDIA FLIM FLAMThis was my biggest irritant through the series. I want to be informed of the games and the players not the gossip. So there was a feeling of satisfaction when some current and recently retired Australian players covered this issue after the tournament in their colums and interviews. One past player went as far to hint in my eyes that the regular 'ANONOMOUS' leaks from "INSIDE" the team who always seem to be mouthing off about dissent etc among the players and management should just stop with their lies. I think this was a vieled warning that if it happens again these people are going to be named publicly. This should also include a direct correlation to the reporters who have been including the lies in their reports on the Australian team as well.
THE COMING AUSTRALIAN SEASONFootball is the only sport in Australia whose championship season is actually played duringthe same time as the European equivilant. at the minute it is the pre season competition to finish the various teams match practice as a prelude to the real games.
