tragicaussie Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I agree with most of this. I would class top A league teams as low Championship standard. Perth Glory (finished bottom of the league) and the like are run of the mill league 1 (please note Mr Wesolowski). I expect Melbourne Heart to be better next season, so I expect Heart to be stiff opposition. I can imagine the newspaper quotes of the game, such as "Heart attack" Just changed their name to Melbourne City - so hope we see headlines as "Latics down City" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) It looks like this match 'could' end up with a bit of a crowd. David Villa's just signed for them and it looks like other New York players will do the same in advance of the 2015 MLS season.

perfectOzblue Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 David Villa won't be playing but Damien Duff may. He has signed a one-year deal with Melbourne City. They are making some good signings- should be worth going along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Spain are going home after their Monday game against Australia. Any chance David Villa will link up with Melbourne City in time to play us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I see Melbourne City won their first friendly 7-0. Steaua Bucharest lost their first friendly 2-1 yesterday, it says at the moment its not known if the Latics match on July 5th will be televised.

Also, Melbourne City will need practice before playing their first match of the season (a new cup competition - the league itself doesn't start until October) so they'll probably be taking the matches seriously.
