A-League: Is everything ready for the start of tenth jubilee season
Some new stars have arrived in the league, some have left a large footprint behind. A step forward for the A-League will be the next season which starts on 10th October
We can say that the Brisbane Roar last season won quite convincingly. Except as during the regular season, won first position with 10 points ahead of the first companion, so in the Final Series managed to overcome all opponents.
Grand Finals are offered a huge spectacle in which the two best teams from the regular season admeasured forces, and the home team after extra time managed to win the title at home (Suncorp Stadium) in front of 52,500 spectators in the stadium and several million viewers in front of the small screen (This was the first A-League season to be broadcast on free-to-air television).

What can we expect this season: uncertain season, good game, beautiful goals, full stadiums...
No more Alessandro Del Piero, Gallas, Ono, Taggart... but there's David Villa, Damien Duff, Alex Rodriguez...
Some clubs are strengthened and they can expect good results this season, while some first stars of the team to try to compensatewith team play or some new stars - we'll see.
