Football fans were reminded that anything is possible in 2016 - a year when Adelaide United and Leicester City won their first top-level titles, Tim Cahill came home and Melbourne City put together the best womens side in Australian history.REDS RISEOn Christmas Day 2015, Adelaide United sat in second-last position and the clubs board pondered whether to give their coach - Barcelona legend Guillermo Amor - his marching orders. What followed was the greatest recovery in A-League history. Amor turned his young and unloved squad into A-League champions, losing just once in 20 games on the way to the grand final. In front of 50,119 at Adelaide Oval, United were title-winners for the first time with a 3-1 defeat of Western Sydney.CAHILLS CITY CLIMBMelbourne City achieved what no Australian club had been able to do in two decades by bringing Tim Cahill home. The mega-rich A-League expansion side hoped the talismanic Socceroo might change their on-field fortunes and he has. Cahills Melbourne derby golazo announced his arrival and a trademark header brought the club its first trophy - the FFA Cup.SOCCEROO STRUGGLEAfter cruising through their preliminary group on the road to Russia, Ange Postecoglous Socceroos made short work of their first two qualifying assignments - at home to Iraq and away to the United Arab Emirates. Tom Rogic, Aaron Mooy and Tomi Juric had come of age and a 2018 World Cup place looked assured.Then the momentum stalled.Draws in Saudi Arabia, at home to Japan and away to Thailand have Australia sitting outside the direct qualification places and at risk of missing a first World Cup in 16 years. The highest-stakes challenge of his coaching career awaits Postecoglou in 2017, including a Confederations Cup group with Germany, Chile and the African champions. No pressure then.The news was considerably worse at youth level; the under-19s and under-16s both failed miserably in Asian championship campaigns, giving Football Federation Australia plenty to think about.MATILDAS PIPPEDThe Matildas took centre stage at the Rio Olympics when drawn against host nation Brazil in the quarter-finals. After 120 minutes, neither side had broken the stalemate and the dreaded penalty shootout brought heartbreak for Alen Stajcics side, beaten 7-6 in front of 52,660 screaming locals. Later in the year, winger Caitlin Foord was recognised as the best player in Asia.CITY DOMINATE W-LEAGUEMelbourne City certainly made a splash. In their first season, Joe Montemurros all-stars ripped through the season with 12 straight wins, overcame nerves in a semi-final penalty shootout and lifted the trophy with a 4-1 grand final demolition of Sydney FC.LEGENDARY LEICESTER CITY2016 had plenty of underdog stories; Cleveland Cavaliers. Chicago Cubs. Cronulla. Western Bulldogs.But for sheer improbability, look no further than Leicester City. Given 5000-1 odds of winning the title before the season and out-spent by English Premier League heavyweights from Manchester, London and everywhere in between, City did the unthinkable by claiming a first top-level title in their 132-year history and celebrating with an Andrea Bocelli concert before their last match.Australian Mark Schwarzer had the best seat in the house for the incredible ride, watching on from the bench as Citys reserve goalkeeper.
