Sounds like the author is the type of guy to cheer against Australia because he doesn’t like the sport. Shame that this only happens in Australia.
The Socceroos: Big-time moral victors
Potential fans, please. The usual I would rather “count the sesame seeds on my big mac than watch the A-League” are the type of comments you get from them. They’re a waste and offer nothing. Can only be excused if they have historical/family links to their overseas club they support if not, they’re gloryhunters plain and simple.
What is the football family?
Good asian players won’t come here because they can get better coin elsewhere. Also, forcing to embrace to the AFC way is not way to go. Should be signing players on merit if they’re good enough.
Asian visa proposal inhibits A-League clubs
Mel should come back to Fox Sports.
Should Mel Mclaughlin replace Mark Nicholas at Channel Nine?
Let’s make a 20/20 version of football where the goals are x3 bigger, have LED lights attached to them and keepers can’t user their hands. Goals galore. Watch people flood through the gates. While we’re at it, lets have an E-Grade celebrity in the crowd for the “Million dollar shot”, so every time Zadkovich hits one into row Z if that person catches someone at home wins $1million!!.
What football can learn from the summer of cricket
It’s so rather cringeworthy, how mainstream Anglo commentators adore and support the fanatics at the tennis, yet fear foreign-style support in other sports. I.E A-League active support.
Sporting hooligans don't match the hype
He’s Australian when he wins, but he’s Croatian when he loses. That’s what I got from this article and some comments.
The big question mark over Tomic's ticker
Highly doubt they’ll get rid of Basheer. I tweeted SBS twg asking to not have Basheer commentate the games next season and this was the response:
“@TheWorldGame: We do value your feedback, but that’s (getting rid of Basheer) not the majority view of our viewers”. What a load of rubbish, I don’t know anyone who likes Basheer’s commentary…
SBS need to lift their game on A-League coverage
50 million people watched the home leg in Gosford of the Central Coast Mariners vs Guangzhou Evergrande in the Asian Champions League round of 16 in May last year.

What is Australia's biggest sporting event?
Last time at checked it was spelt ‘soccEr’ not ‘soccor’ like you’ve typed 4 times in your past 5 posts. I’m not sure if you’re deliberately trying to be antagonistic or you just can’t spell.
Faux media outrage is driven by prejudice, not hooliganism
Maybe because it’s a prerequisite of the elitist sport that is rugby union for the fans to have an annual income of over $150,000 per year? Too posh to cause any trouble.
Wanderers fans tarnish otherwise thrilling encounter
Imagine the hysteria from the media if we actually had a hooliganism problem…..

“The BBL will finish-off the A-League. There just isn’t a critical mass of support in Australia for soccer…it’s plateaued and it’s all down from here”
WOW, huge call there. So you’re saying that the A-League will cease to exist at the end of the current season due to the BBL? If that happens I will give every the roar member $5million. Talk about being delusional……
Test cricket is still Australia's summer game
My favorite xenophobic comment on the article is comment 167 from ‘Euros suck’:
“once again, greeks, italians and other euros are over populating out country, get easily offended when we bag their sport and claim we are mono cultural. umm no, you are the ones being mono cultural, you hate everything australian. if aussies started taking over the pathetic countries you originate from youd all be complaining. get lost you loser greasos”
How on earth did that pass moderation and be published in the article?
Mainstream A-League coverage is not always what it seems
Oh god. That’s the FOURTH tier of the English football pyramid. You do realize the championship is the 2nd division?
Is there room for cricket in crowded Aussie sporting landscape?
Some go watch the English second division and so on?
Step out of your insular bubble champ and take a look mate.

Hey ash (tenash),
Since when was Victory vs Brisbane a marquee game?
Also go back to twitter with you anti A-League cadre thanks. Oh and, use something else other than TV ratings to denigrate the A-League for a change, it’s getting boring.

300,000 the Grand Final got last season.
So-called football fans' treatment of A-League disgraceful
Lighting flares is way more serious and deserves more media attention than some larrakins lighting’ some bloke up IMO.
Lighting people on fire? Not normal!
Melbourne will turn up. It’s just up to the Sydney theatre goes if they want to
Fair result, but will Socceroos fans still turn up?
I’m assuming you didn’t write an article similar to this in Victory’s last ACL campaign…
A-League clubs must make their mark in Asia
I don’t think Kalik will be coming back next season.
Mariners’ on-field circus must match off-field progress
