I managed to fit in my second football match of the trip by going to watch Sydney FC v Gold Coast Mariners play in the A-League (Australia's version of The Premier League) today.
The game finished 2-0 to Sydney and I got to see ex-Premier League player Brett Emerton and Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero play for the home team but they are coming to the end of their career and the quality of football from both teams was not great (The teams would probably be lower Championship/League One in England) but it was football so I was more than happy to be there.
Did You Know?: The Allianz Arena, the stadium where the match was played, is also home to Sydney's rugby league and rugby union teams.
