Quote: Barry_McKenzie "www.footballaustralia.com.au/ Soccer is more popular in Oz than you would think. And the Socceroos beat England 3-1 last time they played each other Barrie McKenzie talks 5h1t again shocker!! www.soccermastermind.com/2009/01 ... an-soccer/ Soccer is practically on its death bed in aussie - yeah promising starts and gates of 10-15k when there was the initial hype and interest, but now the games been found out for what it is and the hypes gone the game is on its @r5e just like ice hocky and basketball are here after promising starts. Soccer is not a good enough game to survive without hype.....if it lost the media attention and hype in this country it would no doubt die as well as the product just isnt interesting enough.....aussie at least have had the sence to see it for what it is after a few years of hype....sadly however that is never going to happen in the uk

Apologies for the Australians not hosting their rep matches in sub 25k stadia then...

Course it would Andy.
I know teams full of football lads who spend their evenings watching the League on sky yet when it comes to doing their chosen form of exercise they're all playing in the Warry sat/sun league soccer.
Simply its an easy game to pick up and simple to play anywhere added to that you dont get hurt for the most part like you do in amateur rugby and there's, for me, the biggest reason why soccer will always be massive.
Probably why leagues big in the TV ratings, plenty find it entertaining, not many fancy playing

The simplicity of wendyball is what makes it popular in the first place, then the media go ga-ga over disreputable dummies like Dwayne Looney and it sounds glamorous, then you can get paid £5k a week for being mediocre at best. Not going to be easy to dislodge is soccer, depite the fact, clear to the more intellifgent among us, that it's corrupt and crap.

back on topic please

Attendance for England v New zealand

22k ?

The answer will be "not enough".

Can you pay on the gate tomorrow ?

I find it strange that Huddersfield Town were playing at home tonight.

The pitch should be "fun" if they've had the weather in Huddersfield that we have had here.
