The A-League – much like Craig Foster’s commentary – doesn’t make sense.
As any proper football fan will tell you, playing a grand final to decide the best team over the season is illogical, as is playing some teams three times instead of two. This is also the league that, until three years ago, considered the Mariners v Sydney FC a “local derby” and where Terry McFlynn – who played for Morecombe before moving to Australia – can be captain of a Sky Blues side containing Italian legend Alessandro del Piero. Madness.
And one man who epitomises the A-League’s nonsense is Central Coast striker Daniel McBreen.
McBreen’s penalty in the grand final sealed the Mariners 2-0 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers, and cemented his place as this season’s golden boot winner with 20 goals.
This is odd for several reasons, not least because his last “European” club was York City, where he scored a whopping five goals in 35 appearances. It’s even stranger when you consider McBreen didn’t even hit double figures last season, is currently 36 and, despite his netbusting heroics, still doesn’t have a contract for next year.
“I’m not sure yet what’s happening next season,” he said.
“I love it here. I love the place, I love the people, I love the team, the coaching staff, living near the beach – everything. Hopefully we can work something out.”
It’s no surprise he wants to stay, but what did his coach, Graham Arnold, have to say after the veteran’s dream season and man of the match performance in the grand final?
“He’s a pain in the arse, as always,” said Arnold. Told you this league didn’t make sense.
