It's hard to believe a controversial penalty was all that sat between the Socceroos and eventual champions Italy at the 2006 World Cup. Incredible,…
As a proud round-ball game enthusiast, being at the MCG on Thursday night to see 70,000 fill the stands made me ponder many things…
Personally it makes more sense to put teams in urban populations that are over 4.5 million compared to a Wollongong for example, which has 289 000. In the future I would love to see places like Wollongong, Canberra and Geelong represented but what our game needs is more people invested and to do so, expanding in Melbourne and Sydney make sense
Addressing football's Australian cultural problem
The states are very similar to aus, football has to compete against a number of codes for popularity in both countries.
football purists all hate the MLS conference style set-up, but the way the MLS has been able to rise from where it was in 2000 should provide inspiration for our battling league down here.

The idea behind football at the MCG is from a crowd number and atmosphere point of view. The MCG is the biggest stadium in terms of capacity and my contention was that if we fixed the cultural issues, then even the biggest stadiums in the country could be filled and have an atmosphere to behold.
In terms of participation, it seems like the fact is too good to be true, but I assure you that it’s more fact than fiction

Addressing football's Australian cultural problem
Shows how important the Mariners are to our comp. Let’s not forget previous players like the Imperious Mile Jedinak. Every club is so important to the Al-league and the future of our socceroos, especially clubs like the Mariners, the Jets and even… sigh.. Western United, so ensuring they stay afloat is critical.
