Not sure whether to look back at the Socceroos glorious night on Wednesday or forward to a nail-biting weekend of A-League semi-finals... Ahhhhhh! It's all too good at this time of year.And it'll be a big weekend in the Premiership, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga... (Liverpool vs Chelsea; United vs City!!). Gee it's a big, busy football world.

In the Mag
Get your March issue of FourFourTwo now! The World Cup campaign has started so we sat down with Mark Bresciano and Scott McDonald for a chat. Yeah McDonald - he's the one who's scoring all those goals for Celtic. It's also heating up in the Premier League so we just had to interview the major players - Rooney, Adebayor, Lampard and Carragher stopped by to talk.
But football's not all about watching - it's time to strap on the boots and get down to the park for the new season, so this month's FourFourTwo has all the best new kit covered in our 30-page Kit Guide.
