FOOTBALL IS THE NO.1 SPORT IN AUSTRALIA (Soccer is a horrible name; please phrase it as FOOTBALL)

AND IN MOST OTHER COUNTRIES...!

We all know that, but here is where I make my point.

Why can't I watch a good A-league game on TV?

I mean surely; second rate codes like Rugby and AFL broadcast 4 matches a week and we get...ohh wait; nothing. Thats right, zip, zlich, nil, 0.

How are we supposed to get ethical about the growth of football in Australian culture, when I can't even watch a good game... and when I do, its a foriegn champions league matchup where I have to wake up at around 4:30am in the cold mornings...

Where's the fairness. All good things in life should be free.

Explain.

Move to Italy.
You haven't experienced "real football" and the atmosphere until you're there, watching the Australia V Italy match of the world cup.
it was priceless, could relive it every day

That match was Satan's pissbowl.

I saw the AUSTRALIA VS URUGUAY match man

Freaking hectic atmosphere.

I can't find how shithouse sports like AFL, NRL or Cricket that involve some form of brute strength can be pleasing to watch. They're so boring, stupid and lame.

Football on the other hand is 100% skill. They say all sports involve bruteness but greats like Pele and Marodona were smaller than most people, and look at them, freaking geniuses.

Dude, if you wanna discuss football, post in the football thread, otherwise you'll just have trolls who'll come in and post garbage. Got it...? Or is it too much for you..?

Lock and delete this fucking thread.

No, I have my reasons, namely because this might bring up heated discussion.

Hahaha, a troll with dignity, now that's something you don't see everyday.

To tell you the truth, this thread would've been deleted long ago if the mod was active in this forum. But he isn't, which is why your thread gets to live for as long as it is.

hahaha you are a joke.

soccer will never, ever ever take over footy in australia. why? because this is australia and footy is what we love. not soccer, and don't you tarnish the word football by associating it with soccer. soccer is soccer mate, not football.

how you said soccer is the no.1 sport in aust is beyond me. go to the aust bureau of stats n find out for yourself, jerkface.

grow some balls and play footy.
Umm it's been pointed out numerous times that Football (you know, the one where you actually use your feet) has more people playing it than league or union

Around 10 years ago I had nothing against anything, but I have truly the media to blame. Its at a stage where only 1 code can live at a time and these days its all about ratings. Who cares? Seriously? Ratings are for chumps!

You can go to SBS and find budget shows that have much higher ratings than others and thats how the grounds of football should come. Since the A-league is new, broadcasting rights wouldn't cost much so people can actually settle and enjoy football as it is.

Why should I have to pay for football.

I'll NEVER EVER DO such a thing. ALL GOOD THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE~!

If noone bought Foxtel we would have the A-league broadcasted on SBS anyways.

Thats the second greatest invention of them all umop 3pisdn, thanks for mentioning it.
The first is high-quality live matches :D

I don't understand why people have cable, if noone had cable EVERYONE would have exactly the same channels free of cost.
