A bit old but when you think about it he was the Brazilian golden boot winner last year and he scored an international goal for Brazil last year so he's still got it. Massive name anyway. I'd love to know what he's earning at Miami but I have a feeling it's enough to buy him a beachfront mansion and many sportscars.Adelaide United Website said:

The guy's a freak. Dwight who? Considering Sydney were playing Dwight in midfield they can't go wrong with Carbone there. Firstly, he was offside about 9 times ridiculously. But anyway it took him a while to settle but he had a couple of nice touches early on. Then in the 37th or so minute he gets a ball on the edge of the 18 yard box, and dinks it through with a sort of sandwich/chip between two defenders the space of about 5 metres absolutely perfectly to pick out Zadkovich's run who slotted home past the keeper 1 on 1. His second setup was a 1-2 with Petrovski. Petrovski (out wide left) looked up, Carbone on the edge of the 18 yard again, played it into his feet Carbone facing backwarsd and slightly to the left backheel flicked it between 2 defenders to send Petrovski oin 1 on 1 who slotted easily. His goal was made from a good run (where he wasn't offside for a change) that was beautifully picked out by Milligan (he was huge, great game) with the outside of his foot from behind halfway (Carbone just in front) that sent him on his way with an Adelaide defender trackign him. He was in front on the edge of the 18 yard on a clear break but the defender was about to tackle. He just smashed a shot from the 18 low and right into the corner of the net past the outstretched Bajic. Then at the end of the game he proceeded to run down the click with ridiculously awesome tricks and touches. Throughout the game he was always active, always running and always getting touches on the ball and produced a number of nice tricks. The offsides were always close (bar about 5
) and all showed to me that he was hungry as he made so many runs all night but got so many touches. There was a quote, "Dwight was here to party off the field. Benito's here to party on the field" and he certainly played like it. Bobby Petta, who I was also excited about, also really impressed me towards the end after a shaky start. He MUST be in the Adelaide starting team next week and again he's certainly got pedigree. Hopefully he contineus to hit soem form because he's a classy player who loves running at people.
Anyway both the Adelaide v Sydney and Victory v Roar games were brilliant. The standard was just exceptional, better than anything weve ever seen before in Australia (Except John Spagnuolo's misses
). Was certainly great watching and the standard of football played in those two games was far better than the Ipswich v Colchester championship match I watched over the weekend.I'm not sure who Queensland's marquee player is but I definitely think we need one better than we have now as we certainly have the ability to lure a very good player. I can't wait for Romario though

Nah i didn't watch it but by the sounds of all the reports im hearing he could end up being the best footballer we had in Australia. Everyone being telling me that he fits perfectly into our side and once we get our backroom sorted he should get a season loan. I think the big difference between him and Dwight Yorke is that he wants to be here. Dwight really just wanted to keep fit, so he could play in the World Cup.
Also does anyone know when Romario actually coming?

December. Comes for Adelaide's away game then 3 home games in a row I think. Check out www.foxsports.com.au for his goal assists and goal. But there were alot of great touches, tricks and offsides you can't see obviously

Trust a former Interista to do well, so good on him.
Who do people predict to be the next big name Australian to come back? I think it will be Craig Moore and/or Kalac, probably one after each other.
Would love to see Moore captaining the Queensland Roar (assuming he would get the armband and he probably would) if he chosse them, but hopefully not Sydney like that turncoat Brosque.

Chippers probably, i think the Moore still feels he has something to prove in England and Kalac will stay in Europe until some big club gives him a starting spot.Craig said:

Its only friendly so it doesn't really matter.
I thought the performance was very good especially the midfield, they really did dominate most of the match. Up front Aloisi seemed the struggle for the that final touch, but i guess that will come if he every gets playing time in Spain. The defence look quite strong, but considering three guys are retiring there going to be a lot of questions asked of that defence in the next couple months.
Still haven't decide whether i will go and watch a Socceroos play on Wednesday, still couple thousand tickets left from what i've been hearing. Might just stay home have couple beers and watch it at home, so lazy these days.
