Club level:- With the World Cup in full swing, very little action at club level. Will take this opportunity to highlight the Aussies that may feature in the upcoming European Champions League and Europa Leagues. Starting with the Europa league; Andrew Bazi (Fylkir), Nathan Burns (AEK Athens), Ante Covic (IF Elfsborg), Chris Herd (Aston Villa), James Holland (AZ Alkmaar), Brett Holman (AZ Alkmaar), Harry Kewell (Galatasaray), Mitch Langerak (Borussia Dortmund), Shane Lowry (Aston Villa), Brent McGrath (Brondby IF), Lucas Neill (Galatasaray), Tommy Oar (FC Utrecht), Adam Sarota (FC Utrecht), Michael Zullo (FC Utrecht). Then in European Champions League; David Carney (FC Twente), Scott Chipperfield (FC Basel), Chris O'Connor (Bohemians). Best wishes to our Aussies Abroad.

National level :- The pinnacle of World Cup football is over for our Socceroos. Like the Germany 2006 experience, our players continued to mature over the time we spent in South Africa. Between the pre-tournament friendlies, and then the fixtures against Germany, Ghana and Serbia, we saw many faces, numerous formations and best of all, much to be excited about coming into the Asian Cup in January. The World Cup saw the coming of age of Brett Holman, Carl Valeri and Richie Garcia. The much maligned Holman has an impressive club record, but has never really produced at national level, the WC saw that change with some critical goals, great runs and decisive positioning. Carl Valeri seems to have stepped out of the shadow of Vinnie Grella and stamped himself as an adequate replacement when called on. Garcia has an EPL pedigree but now has seen some good minutes in SA, proving that he could can be a part of the set-up going forward. With Craig Moore retiring, Michael Beauchamp proved that he too can play at centre-back but he has a host of others keen to get the gig. A chance now to introduce some new blood, I will throw out a few names to watch get introduced to the national set-up shortly - Nathan Burns, Jason Davidson, Brad Inman and Aaron Mooy. Not much rest for our boys with fixtures scheduled for as soon as August. Would like to acknowledge Pim for his contribution to Australian football. Although opinions are divided, he leaves us having achieved World Cup and Asian Cup qualification, a solid win-loss record and a respectable team performance in South Africa. Thank you. Looking forward to our new era.

Transfers :- The transfer window is now open so plenty of movement going on. Returning to the HAL continues as the local league continues to be strengthened. A good number of players are currently searching for clubs overseas, expect a wave over transfers over the coming weeks.
