This happens to be my first post on the A-League. One might ask how it came about ? To be honest, I was doing a bit of research on FIFA World Cup qualifying. As I was doing the 2006 edition, I saw that John Aloisi was the man whose penalty kick sent the Socceroos into the World Cup. Aloisi as a footballer is not a new name- he has after all played for Coventry and Portsmouth in the Premiership, and Osasuna in the La Liga.
