Soccer

[NA XR6]

I am not a big fan of it
I was just wondering what you guys think
Will the A-league catch on to a level like NRL and AFL

[BA GT-HO]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh..

I dare say it is already pretty successful.

Full house @ Telstra Dome for the Grand Final last season is pretty good as far as I am concerned.

[au^dude]

Yea i think it will build up more in years to come.

Soccer is homo

Maybe if they stopped sacking managers everytime a team has a bad season and trying to import every off shore player available.

Basically what I'm saying is they shouldn't be trying to imitate the Euro clubs.

[BA GT-HO]

There is actually a rule put in place that each team can only have 4 (from memory) foreign players in the squad. So to say they are trying to import all the overseas players is a bit rough. A lot of ex europe players coming back are actually Aussies. Aloisi for CCM, Agostino for Adelaide United and Craig Moore are just a few.

In time the code will have a bigger following than the others, it had been slow in my youth days but the momentum really got going since making the World Cup and importantly as more and more migrants come into our country which know Football the Real way Soccer as known here Will rule :

[fordel]

I went, was half ****ed and still board....I voted dont care. If it gets up, cool if it doesn't not really gonna lose sleep over it.

[Racecraft]

the quality has to improve imho..

[GK351]

Soccer australia is always going to be up to no good,
Soccer aus should have a quality incentive to keep quality youngsters home.
Then the game will be better, the crowds will pack in even more.

Not leave at 16 and try out for O/S teams.

[MethodX]

if it takes off then good.

Doesnt really interest me, much prefer Euro leagues and the Champions League.
(Sans the EPL)
lol

[JTFG]

Yes it will be, but not as big as the AFL I reakon, the A-League is good to watch off season!

[fmc351]

Is this the game where only one player has the co-ordination to catch a ball? The same game where drama classes are a pre-requisite? The same game where despite being out there for 80 minutes, often ends with only one player skillful enough to score, often enough none of them?

No, Ive never been to the Special Olympics.


Seriously, I dont care one way or the other. Its like any game, you either like it enough to be a fan, or you dont. If they get the support, good on em.

It might be more accepted if they still called it soccer
not football.we arent in europe, its called soccer here.

[RG]

The only reason anyone gets into playing soccer is because they are too much of a pussy to play AFL or NRL.

[MethodX]

You dont have to insult Football fans.
sheesh.

Talk about bogans.

[GK351]

On a worldwide scale, soccer is the leading sport.

Where is NRL or AFL in this regard? WTF is aussie rules anyway, i would rather watch grass grow than watch a bunch of men wearing mini skirts piggy backing teammates
all to cop their mates birdie on their back of thier necks. talk about homo.

[AU2PWR]

Soccer and AFL AND NRL are all top sports , cant be too biased ..

Russ , your too much of a pussy to play either , WTF are you on about ? CRICKET BOY!

[T-BOOST]

If it does the fans better start leaving that rioting s h i t to the europeans or the game should be banned entirely. I've never seen such a bunch of sore losers.

[MethodX]

Its not cos they lose, its rivalries due to culture.

Anyway players and fans of other sports here have done some not so great things too.
