Pirlo would have been hoping to get Riera's jersey
A-League All Stars: Part Deux
Yip our long haired superstar got the jersey of his Juve counterpart.

People I know who aren't total muppets reckon Riera was the man of the match.
Should sign him up for another couple of years. I'd imagine that Gombau at least would be after him.
If he gets injured again as a result of people wearing the Rieralucion Ts, I will personally beat them around the ears with a soggy Fritz Weiner.
You're going to hit me in the face with a sausage?
Not again...
many made the run of the match:
"It wasn't to be, but since when did Manny Muscat make 60m breakaways? His break midway through the first half was the All-Stars' best chance at streaking ahead by two goals until Berisha's excellent strike in the right corner was deflected by the wily old fox that Buffon is. "

One of the two All Stars to play the full 90.
This is a great thing for him and to a certain degree a bad thing for the Phoenix.
He may well get offers and kick on to something else. One thing is for sure is that his value has gone up a fair bit one would suspect. It also means that he is no longer a surprise and with that, comes assholes that target him. I would hope that the Phoenix start looking at contract extension talks sooner rather than later.
No surprise that Manny is back in form at RB.
Riera must like New Zealand quite a lot to come and stay here. I'm guessing he would feel a good sense of loyalty to us as we have given him his chance. You can also see how at age 30 he would want to make as much money as possible though. I wouldn't be surprised if an A-League team offered him a marquee spot.
Riera was superb, I thought. It's a damn shame he wasn't picked up earlier in his career.

This is awesome - you can watch the whole match here on You Tube:
Italian commentary, but who cares:
Anyone got a decent highlights package link?

Again? I feel like I've missed out on something special here.
To the best of my knowledge I have not hit anyone in the face with a sausage (yet).
Previous link I posted above to the full game has been deleted from You Tube but there is now a better version of the full game on You Tube here - with English commentary. Surprised at how good the A-League boys did. Riera superb.

Riera had a good game and even had a shot on goal at one point - but check out Manny Muscat between the 22nd and 23rd minutes when he brilliantly intercepts a Juve pass on the edge of his box, takes the ball the length of the field to the edge of the Juve box and nicely feeds Berisha who sets up a chance for ADP.
Another great Manny moment is between the 26th and 27th minutes when he neatly dispossesses Pogba.
Manny really did have a fantastic game!!!
A draw would have been a fairer result on the balance of play. No one in the All Stars really had a bad game.

An eye-catching performance against Barcelona could help Piscopo secure a move overseas, with the former Inter Milan youth product keen on a return to Europe now that his three-year deal with the Phoenix is due to expire.

Could it be another Devlin scenario indeed, where Reno doesn't play a game for Jets, VIC or whoever he's signed for, and is off to Euroland for a nice fee for that club?! Annoying if history repeats

That would seriously fudge me off. It still grates that happened with Devlin. Even worse that he went to farts.
Anyone seen Big Pete recently?
And yeah, you'd think we've got the keeper spot sown up already, at least one mid and maybe a defender or two too.
