The Science of Set Moves
There's more to football than just speed, strength and skill. Adrian Deans takes a look at the science of football, with apologies to Einstein and Monty Python...

An Arsenal fans' message to Alexis Sanchez
Heading into the new EPL season there’s something Adrian Deans desperately needs to get off his chest.

Conversation with the Eurosnobs
Adrian Deans, a lifelong Arsenal fan but also passionate Mariners supporter, goes undercover to talk with a bunch of Eurosnobs about the merits of the A-League and the Socceroos.

Death to John the Pragmatist!
So, we’re out of the Confederations Cup. Two draws and a one goal loss against Germany, Chile and Cameroon rated three, four and 32 respectively against our plucky 48.

Ange and the art of the possible
They say that trying the same experiment multiple times and expecting different results is a form of madness. What then does this suggest about our national coach and his patently ineffective three at the back system?

Life After Ange
The Socceroos coach has announced his departure at the end of the 2018 World Cup campaign. Without doing any research at all, I can’t think of any previous Australia coach who has announced his departure in advance (maybe Terry Venables?). But, with Ange’s announcement comes the inevitable question: who should be next?

Who is the A-League's best team ever?
The sun is yet to set on this season but the comparisons are already coming thick and fast. Which is the best team ever?

Coach-ural Cringe?
Let me start by saying I am a big fan of Ange Postecoglou as Socceroos coach. I’ve read his book (written by Andy Harper) and my main takeaway was that we absolutely have the right man in charge of the national team.

If I Was Ange...
It’s a strange squad that Ange has picked for the games against Iraq and UAE. Strange if you want to score goals, that is…

The Semi-Beautiful Game
You know, I watch every Socceroos game and just about every A-League game, and the thing that most frustrates me about Australian football is the lack of strategic thinking.

Women on the Frontline
So the women’s professional AFL league kicks off tonight… I won’t be watching it – not because I’m sexist, I simply don’t like the game. I used to be completely indifferent to it until they went so far out of their way to prevent Australia getting the World Cup. Obviously, we weren’t going to get it anyway but what the AFL did to undermine our bid still rankles.

Striking (Green and) Gold...
To be talked about as a potential Socceroo these days, all you have to do is play two good games in a row and the “good judges” are singing your praises.

Offside Marco!
Marco Van Basten, FIFA Chief Technical Officer, has foreshadowed further changes to the World Cup Finals, including the possibility of replacing decider spot kicks with the old NASL method where a player started with the ball 25 metres out and had 8 seconds to score.
