Is there any stopping Bresh and Timmy?

With the former pin-up boy of Australian Soccer, Harry Kewell, touring NSW warning kids to go easy on the pies, Marco Bresciano and Timmy Cahill seem to be playing a game of one-up-manship in their bids to take the celebrity crown.

Last night Timmy Cahill’s Everton put in a dogged display to earn a draw against Arsenal after the man “with a face you’d like to punch” (according to Noel Gallagher) smashed home his 5th Premiership goal for the season from three yards- his seventh for the season in all competition. The kid is on fire for the sixth-placed side in the English Premier League.

Similarly Bresciano is in cracking form with his new side Palermo who sit second in Serie A with a game in hand on leaders Inter Milan (Palermo play Fiorentina tonight). Bresciano’s three goals in seven Serie A games isn’t half good. Palermo, pink tops and all, are the surprise packet this year and by all reports Bresh is a major factor. Let’s hope he can keep up the good work and become the first Australian player - not counting our Christian Vieri – to win the Scudetto.

In any case loyal reader(s), we ask you who you think is more deserving of the Socceroo “Top Roo” title, Bresh or Timmy?

It's Bresciano all the way for me. Serie A takes more defensive nous, which Bresh has over Super Tim who is often playing as a second or third striker so his game requires less defensive work. Fulol credit to both though.

I'd have to say Cahill. The English Premier League is far stronger than the Serie A at the moment due to the exodus of players after the Italian match fixing. Not to underestimate Bresh who has done a sterling job moving a smallish club like Palermo up to the top of Serie A. Timmy has also been nominated for the Ballon d'Or, the top 50 European players. Fair achievement by the young gun.

Cahill for me although i do think Breciano has a better all-round midfield game. In terms of gaining popularity there's no better way than banging them in consistently in the Premier League.

Cahill is a star - but you never really know if he is going to explode and get himself sent off.
