This is a list of things the Football Federation of Australia must do to have a chance of winning the World Cup
1. Remind FIFA that the 2006 World Cup was played at an Oval Stadium, so the MCG is fine.
2. Do a deal with a European country to deliver the 2018 World Cup to them in order to get the 2022 World Cup (We have no chance of 2018 due to the fat cats at FIFA and TV power of Europe. From what I can gather, we have five votes)
3. Use the “No Worries World Cup” slogan at any given time (it will work, trust me)
4. Make the knockout stages of the 2010 World Cup (if not, FIFA will look elsewhere)
5. Be honest and frank with the AFL, ARU and NRL (whatever you think of their stalling tactics, they do need to be heard as it’s their infrastructure the FFA will use. If they fail to do this, don’t expect any help from AFL and FFA)
6. Get the Socceroos on Free-To-Air TV. (Fox Sports have been good to football but it needs exposure to a mass market to gain support. The old guard of support cannot be relied on to carry the bid)
If this is done, there is no doubt that the World Cup is coming to Australia.

Even though St.Pauli ultimately lost a high-scoring affair, Jackson Irvine was a standout, as well as scoring a late goal.
What if we celebrated all of the achievements big and small, and weeded out those hell-bent on bringing down a game that is doing a hell of a lot right?
A good performance from Michael Ruhs, scoring twice to beat Macarthur and doubling his season goal tally in the process.
