While in Australia I had the opportunity to see an A-League soccer game.On November 1, 2008, me and three friends walked to the Sydney Football Stadium and watched Sydney FC and the Central Coast Mariners play to an energetic 2-2 draw.
The A-League has a very distinct style of play. Owing to Australia's emphasis on "manly" sports such as Aussie Rules Football and both league and union rugby, Australian soccer has a very rough air to it.
In terms of technique, I'd have to say it was on par with the MLS on its best days.
All in all, it was an experience I'll never forget and will take every opportunity to replicate.
