With the NSW Championship title in the pocket, my first season in Australia is over.
Now I’m glad to represent once more Timor-Leste national team.
I am flying to Dili in a couple of days to join my mates in the National Team training camp.
Next month we will play in Cambodia, the 2008 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification.
We will face the national teams from Cambodia, Laos, Brunei and Philippines.
Each team will play 4 games and the first 2 teams will qualify to play the main tournament in December, alongside Asean powerhouses Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam
Last October (2007) we played the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup, but didn’t passed to the next round, as we played against Hong Kong, losing both games.
There are good news, as we will have joining the national team, 2 overseas players, Nahuel Arrarte that plays for Marconi Stallions in the NSW Premier League and Jose Vide that play for Yarmouth FC in England.
I believe both will bring added value to our team. Both play in good leagues and have experience of games at a higher level.
Well, let’s keep positive and try to get Timor-Leste into the main tournament.
Will keep you guys posted with more news and photos … live from Timor!

Timor- Leste will win one game. as a fan of timor- leste football, i have nickname for the team ''O Sol Nascente (The Raising Sun)''.
It a cool nicknames. Futhermore, timor - leste should wear white jersey with yellow stripes, black lines on the sleeve, red short, white socks as their awy kit.
Hope Timor Leste win the game in Cambodia, best luck from a Cambodian People with love;
Maybe football make us friendship.....
