Two weeks into the season, Matildas coach Alen Stajcic is delighting in the impact of the W-Leagues foreign legion on the womens domestic football competition. Cheap Air Max Plus All Red .A total of 30 internationals spread across the league has, to the national team bosss eyes, lifted standards across the board.That means more players pushing into national team calculations for next years international program, but Stajcic is welcoming the challenge of fitting everyone in.The harder it is the better. Im happier when the job is hard, he told AAP.I want to see players coming through, pushing the players that are already established in the Matildas team.The really, really pleasing part has been the performances of some of the Matildas.Katrina Gorry was outstanding last week for Brisbane Roar as was Mackenzie Arnold and Clare Polkinghorne; Caitlin Foord similarly for Sydney FC.At Melbourne City, players who are already at that level are performing at a high level again. Theyll all drag the league standard up.Punters are liking what they see as well, with crowds up around the country, except Melbourne.Four curtain-raisers played so far have attracted at least 2,000 people each while the stand-alone opener to the season in Brisbane attracted over 3,000.And unlike last season, the winner doesnt appear to be a lay-down misere.City - who won the double last year after a perfect campaign - might top the table after two rounds but didnt carry a championship-winning swagger in either of two tight wins.Stajcic believes the rich depth of foreign talent - capped at four per team - across the league has broadened the list of potential title-winners.They adds quality; quality at training, experience and extra competition for places, he said.Its everything you want in an elite environment.We want our domestic players pushed and players that they can learn from and play against because we want the best possible competition we can get.The big question is always the balance of how many foreigners do you want in a team and at the moment weve got the balance right.Hopefully down the track we can progress and not rely on foreigners as much and give more of our youth a go, but now the league is in a position where a lot of youth players have their opportunities and the internationals add a lot of value. Cheap Air Max Plus Pink.com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. Cheap Air Max Plus Black .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. http://www.cheapairmaxplusshoes.com/cheap-air-max-plus-all-white/ .
