Im going to go for Newcastle Jets as its the only team owned by a Greek: Con Constantine.

The whole team is the old Sydney Olympic from 2002 with a couple of newbies. I heard Constantine wants to make it more of a Greek team hopefully buying some of Melbournes players and Greeks from Greece:gr:

My top 2 teams Will be Newcastle Jets and Sydney FC B)

[panatha_boy]

i agree with one of your top 2 teams, as i dont agree with Newcastle Jets being up there. i think it will be either one of the following 3: Perth, Sydney or Melbourne.

[stoltidis_6]

SYDNEY AND NEWCASTLE IN THE FINAL. BEST TEO TEAMS BY FAR.

WHAT HAPPENED TO DWIGHT YORKE AND SYDNEY FC DID HE SIGN???

[panatha_boy]

yeah, yorke is in sydney and has signed with sydney f.c. well im pretty sure he has, 99% sure.

victory picked up muscat. that wasnt bad for them. :P

[Wallofsoccer88]

All I know is any one of these teams is probably going to get demolished in the world championships. Though if there is a Greek-Aussie team representing, I'll support them till the end as my other fav teams (PAO and DC United) have both been eliminated from contention :( :gr: :gr: .

Durante slams broken leg tackle

By Ray Gatt

May 9, 2005

SHATTERED Newcastle Jets defender Andrew Durante says he is finding it hard to forgive the player involved in a tackle that has left him with a broken leg for the second time in 20 months.

One of the most talented and well-liked players in Australian soccer, Durante yesterday was trying to come to grips with the setback.

The 23-year-old's world came tumbling down during a World Club Championship qualifying loss to Central Coast Mariners at ExpressAdvocate Stadium on Saturday night when his right leg buckled under the impact of striker Nick Mrdja's tackle in the 13th minute of extra-time.

It is the second time Durante has broken the leg in a tackle. Marconi's Brad Maloney was suspended for four matches after being sent off for a challenge on Durante, who was playing for Parramatta Power at the time, in an NSL match in October, 2003.

The then 21-year-old only days earlier had been selected in an Olyroos train-on squad, but the injury sidelined him for six months and ended his dreams of representing his country.

Mrdja was not sent off by referee Matthew Breeze on Saturday, but was instead issued with a yellow card.

"He collected me with both feet," said Durante, who struggled to keep his emotions in check when The Australian spoke to him at Gosford Hospital.

The youngster said he was finding it hard not to have any malice towards Mrdja.

"What I find hard is that he did not even apologise to me while I was on the ground or later," Durante said. "In fact, apart from a couple of Mariners players, no one from the club has been in touch with me to see how I am."

Despite the severity of the injury, Durante believes he can recover even quicker than last time.

"I think I'll be out for about four months," he said. "The good thing is I won't need any metal plates or screws.

"I know what is ahead of me in terms of physical and mental anguish and that is helping me a little. The fact that the start of the A-League is still three months away is also some consolation because, with some luck, I won't miss too much football."

Ahh well news isnt as bad as i thought although it still sux he made national youth team which now has set him back :tdown:

[panatha_boy]

thats pretty unlucky for your mate. i feel sorry for him. i hope he gets better quick and return playing the game we all love.

i just was wondering, whats your tip for the final XXX?

:D

really? thats the funniest thing ive heard today.

the a-league teams arent good at the moment. english clubs should do it in about 3 years time, when maybe, key word maybe, are stronger.

[au-thrylos]
