It was great to see New Zealnd qualify ...Hi Walter.<br />It was great to see New Zealnd qualify for the World Cup. It was a bit strange supporting them in this game though. Just seemed a bit "Un-Australian". haha.<br />It is a real shame though that reading through the Mercury today it hardly gets a mention. As you pointed out it's great for the region. Lets hope the Mercury gets on board the game and gives the sport the coverage it deserves/people want.<br />I am very surprised though that the Australian game gets a colour picture. I was in shock.<br /><br />I saw in interview with a Rugby leage boofhead in relation to the new Sydney AFL team that is heading out West into Rugby leage teritory. He said they were not worried as the two sports will compliment each other and the community will support both. They would both have a share of members as kids will either play NRL or AFL. No mention of the soccer or the new A-League side that will also be out there. AFL & NRL really don't rate Football (soccer) and it's time that FFA & A-League clubs really started to work together and Market the hell out of the brand. Now that we look like making the Asian Cup (already qualified for the World Cup) and New Zealand have just made the World Cup, now is the best time to do this as long as they don't expect the media to help out to much. Well the Mercury & Sydney papers. FFT should be doing the same thing down here (also a big referee push) but I doubt that will happen. Wishful thinking I know.R U Serious Refhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906916870843498646noreply@blogger.com
