Wow, the FFA has really kicked into gear. A youth league AND a women's league! And all this next season! I thought it would take a little longer than that.Now all we need is for the FFA to put their efforts into the competition that every football fan must want, even if they don't know it yet - a Masters League.
Come on, I want to see Bosnich back on the pitch with Craig Foster bearing down on him. And Graham Arnold's not doing as much at the moment, is he? Damian Mori could become the first player to play in the A-League and Masters League at the same time. I'm sure he'd play in the youth league too if they'd let him. Do it Lowy!
