What are you more excited about - the A-League Finals or the Socceroos first World Cup qualifying match next week? If you're a Melbourne Victory fan I guess that's an easy one... Either way February is a massive football month.For the A-League players in Pim's gigantic Socceroos squad, do you think they'd prefer to be preparing for their finals matches or taking the opportunity to get in good with the Dutchman. You wouldn't want to piss Kossie off, but... World Cup glory...
Oh well, the more football the better.
