All congratulations must go to the Brisbane Roar for breaking the 74 year old record and now going 36 games undefeated. This is an amazing achievement and is a deserved record for a team that plays the best club football ever seen in this country. And to do it in the style they did against Perth Glory was a credit to the team and coaching staff.
It is unfortunate though that there are a lot of negative comments going around on twitter, news sites and other social media forums. It seems that many people cannot understand the term "undefeated". The Roar have not broken a winning streak, they have broken a streak of going the longest without being defeated. Many wish to suggest that the record should not count as the Roar have drawn games along the way. How hard is it to understand that a draw is not a loss. Maybe it is from the same people that cannot understand that a game can finish in a draw after ninety minutes. The great thing about football is that is about who is the best team of a season, not just the weekend.
Enough of the negatives though and time to look at some of the statistics that have occurred in the streak.
Started: 18 September 2010
Match Record: 23 Wins 13 Draws
Scoring Record: 84 For - 32 Against.
Scored in every game and held opposition scoreless 11 times
27 Players used and three have played every game: Michael Theoklitos, Erik Paartalu and Matt Smith
There are more and more statistics to get but the one I am concentrating on how many more games can the Roar add to this tally.
