A match in Australia briefly turned into ice hockey early this morning when Adelaide United's Taylor Regan checked Melbourne Victory's Mitchell Austin nearly out of his boots. I thought Australia was a desert. How did they find out about ice hockey?

My favorite part is the announcers being completely nonplussed. "For me there wasn't much in it." Really? Did you watch it? Maybe you should watch it again.
Regen somehow escaped a card, so the announcers had at least one person who agreed with them: the referee.
The lesson here is that everything in Australia is dangerous and you should keep your head on a swivel at all times in case you are trucked into the dirt by a roving central defender.
