Great Aussie footy week ahead.

Melbourne Heart host Melbourne Victory in the first A-League Derby on Friday, and while it's not Celtic v Rangers, at least let's hope it's not off the field, it should be a belter on it.

Big crowd at that stadium and the tackles should fly....sorry to the Purist!

and then the very next day, Saturday in Sydney, we get to see Australia take on Paraguay, new Coach, a few new players and we're into generational change, just a few games out from the Asian Cup.

With the Young Socceroos in the Asian Cup this week, World Cup Qualification on the line in China, it's going to be quite a week for football.
