The best thing about The Roar is that they take submissions from everyone.
I’d love to read your piece about ‘Australia’s’ Top 10.
But, like I said in the first sentence of this piece, I was aiming at events and trends that impacted on the ‘world’ of football.
Whether you liked, or disliked it, thanks for taking the time to read it.
Peace.
This year's top ten in football
It’s interesting that you bring up Sevilla’s game dismorning; it’s just another case of an English club coming up short against a continental competitor. It’s no secret that English teams are struggling in Europe at the moment. Don’t get me wrong, every part of me wants to see Leicester succeed in CL (everyone does), but the ambition of this article was to point out a couple of variables that are going to influence that dream.
The paragraph about their performance against big clubs in England, was only meant to point out the fact that there season was mainly built around winning against every opponent outside the top 6; inside the top six, there results were inconsistent. Take from that what you will…
Hope this helped.
Thanks for the comment and I’m open to rebuttals.
Can Leicester City compete in the Champions League?
Everything you’ve mentioned are fantastic examples of how the game in Australia is progressing. But it’s pretty audacious to think that 3 or 4 of the spots on the ‘world’ list should be taken up by events from the A-League. While those crowd and participation numbers are great, they are only great in the scope of Australian Football- not the world.
Had I included those events, it would be plain old bias. It’s the hallmark of bad journalism that you introduce bias, simply to satisfy the people reading. I hope that wasn’t what you were asking for…
I love the A-League and fully support it’s growth. But this article just wasn’t about the A-League.
Love the passion though.
