With these premises, and under the wise eyes, I discovered a few weeks ago the Hyundai A-League , football tournament which takes place in Australia. I opted to only make comments to the faithful followers of football in our Antipodes. Yesterday morning was the day. I decided to see a clash of the Hyundai A-League , namely the Sydney FC - North Queensland FC Fury. As the match wore on I dedicated myself to dive for the network in order to soak in the players (known to a handful), angles and details of a competition that lay before me.
The first reaction was surprise to see that Sydney FC were defending champions and took the last place in the table after eight rounds, which has resulted in four draws and as many defeats. In the Sydney Football Stadium (seating for 45,500 spectators) were barely visible heads rather, umbrellas, because the game was played in pouring rain. The duel had taken a more dramatic if the dyes Hyundai A-League counted declines. The Australian Championship is a closed league, MLS style, so it loses a lot of emotion there are no ups and downs. A failure should have the Hyundai A-League .
In this first post on football in Australia did not look at the ongoing competition. The aim is to lay the foundation for a league distant from the spotlight, but has very desirable schedules for its uniqueness: in the mornings during the week and the same weekend. In the Hyundai A-League involving 11 clubs, an increase over the 2009/2010 season. Melbourne now has two clubs (Melbourne Victory, second last year, and the Melbourne Heart, which began its work), while the other teams representing eight other major cities of Australia: Adelaide, Brisbane, Central Coast ( New South Wales), Perth, Gold Coast, Newcastle City Council, Townsville, and Wellington, New Zealand is the only city that has hole in the Hyundai A-League .
With these 11 teams, the competition system of the Australian championship is played with three laps, so there are 30 matches. The first six classified opt to take the title of the Hyundai A-League . The third of the regular season crosses the sixth, while the fourth with the fifth, a game that decides who gets to the semifinals. Meanwhile, the first and second place competing for a playoff over two legs to decide who can directly go to the Grand Final and what the square should be played in the finals with the winner of the semifinal and final between the joint located between the third and sixth. The Grand Final is also a single match settles champion Hyundai A-League at the end of March.
The Hyundai A-League is not a championship very normal since last year's champion, Sydney FC, will last after eight days, while the last three League 2009/2010 Regular commanding the competition is underway. In next post disaggregated players contesting the Hyundai A-League , trivia and the dominant clubs in the championship.
