The Preston v South match will likely be played early next month if the previous rounds are anything to go by. All of Preston's state knockout cup games have been drawn at away grounds from what I've read...very unlucky. This is a great opportunity for Preston to show they are still capable of matching the VPL sides and are on the up and up.
Hopefully there's a healthy crowd turnout provided it isn't an only members match. Definitely a game to get down to. Haven't been to bob Jane stadium since our 2007 VPL title...been a while.

What did people think of 'terrace Australis,' the new Socceroos active supporter group?

Horrible scheduling by the FFV if true though. I hope South choose to play the game on the 17th.
Edit: The dates will be between 23rd and 31st July. I should've known better than to trust Wikipedia. I assume the FFV will take into consideration the Liverpool v Victory match.Last edited by EgejskaMakedonia; 06-11-2013, 08:24 AM.

Originally posted by EgejskaMakedonia View PostHey Momce, you know how you were hoping to catch a Preston match while down in Melbourne for the Liverpool match? Well I had a look around and apparently those in the quarter-finals of the state knockout cup will play midweek either on the 17th of July or 24th of July. Bad news is it'll be at the same time as the Liverpool match if it's on the 24th lol. Of course Preston should be your priority though

Great to see the likes of Kruse, Oar, Rogic and Vidosic playing.
Let's hope the fickle (some might argue, useless) Sydney supporters come out for the last group game next week.
Well done to all of Melbourne's Socceroo fans...you put on another great show of support.

Holman needs to play regular football in the EPL or make a move to Holland or a similar league.
Twelve months is an eternity in any sport and I fear for our central defensive pairing of Neill and Ognenovski, they're not getting any younger or faster and Spiranovic hasn't been able to step up and pressure Ognenovski for his spot.
Bresciano and Cahill, although serviceable could be found wanting on the world stage.
Our goalkeeping stocks are reasonably good but even the evergreen Schwarzer needs to be playing in a good league now that he won't be at Fulham in the new EPL season.
The next 12 months will be a mix of both excitement and dread as we hopefully watch our younger players mature and the dread of watching our mature players struggling to be relevant in the game.
Every WC campaign seems to unearth a new gem, that's what I'm looking forward to and the challenge for Osieck will be to provide the fertile conditions for the development of the next Cahill's and Kewell's and the right mix of youth and experience, not just for this campaign but a passage for the Asian Cup in 2015 and a springboard into the next WC campaign in 2018.
Osieck needs to set the foundations for the years ahead, even though he's unlikely to continue beyond the campaign in Brazil, unlike the poor succession planning of his Dutch predecessor, Verbeek.
Exciting times ahead...
