Record crowds, star players, entertaining games: A glimmer of hope for the 'basket case' that is Australian domestic football

Record crowds, star players, entertaining games: A glimmer of hope for the 'basket case' that is Australian domestic football
Yeah the nfl do care about their international profile. They host 5 games every season in Europe in London and Munich and sometimes Mexico .
The nfl is big bikkies , so thry are not going to ignore the potential for making money internationally, as well as international player development projects all around the world. Probably 15 years of ground work has been done so far .
No, they don’t care about a World Cup or country v country. They are setting up the ground work to have a European city join the nfl , so they can make more moola .

The jets don’t get a home women’s game until week 3. No chance to build early momentum with crowds. Has happened so often Re scheduling.
Every club should have a home game by week 2. How hard is it .
The men’s away at Perth week 1 also.

What rugby club mate ?

Pretty much agree with your rugby league comment. The rugby league World Cup is not a genuine competition unfortunately.
Definitely a shame that test cricket is not recognised as important by other countries. The best team ever came from tiny nations like Antigua Barbados Jamaica . Still at the moment, the top 3 nations are playing at a very good level. Will that continue in time , who knows.

I coach lots of kids sports in recent years , nrl isn’t cutting through like it used to either despite huge coverage. Most nrl players are anonymous, kids don’t care about nrl clubs . I don’t see nrl jerseys very often even in a city like Newcastle.
IT’s European soccer by a mile the biggest game that kids love .

Grem. You love soccer , so do I , but it’s gets boring hearing you say other sports are not elite because soccer has 200 teams. Sports can be elite with less competition than soccer. The fact that you class countries with small populations like new zealand as unworthy if winning a rugby union is ridiculous. You’re better than that
Do you realise that France is a rugby union nation traditionally, only the recent migration has seen it trend towards soccer. Should we congratulate France for being good at 2 sports or belittle them for loving rugby as their national game. Reasonable people can see elite players in any sport and not have to fact check that 200 countries play soccer as you do every week

No doubt that English team would beat 80 percent of national teams.

I’m talking about Kane Bellingham Saka foden stones .
Absolutely Elite players
There was no one on the field at their level on Friday
Both Maddison and Grealish could be if they keep up their impressive performances.
Whatever we think of England a or b team , it doesn’t matter, we all just want the Australians to get to a higher level.

How did Ireland choke. Both teams were equal price to win the World Cup and n x won by narrow margin. Both teams were outstanding and someone had to lose .

He made a decent point about the weekend sucking for Australian sport . It did
As for top end of world rugby is elite level sport .8-10 genuine teams , so what . You can look into any World Cup or Olympics in most sports and pick at it and say only such and such are any good. For instance the World Cup soccer has only been one by 8 countries and no new teams look any closer to breaking through that barrier either . Look at club soccer around the world and it’s only 2 good teams in most competitions.
Australia celebrates our swimming team despite only American university trained being the only huge opposition most of the time. It is what it is .
We all want the Socceroos to be better, reality checks like losing to second string England teams should make us humble and hungrier to improve. Reality is that we are not there yet .

Bellingham ( best player at Real Madrid ) saka Foden stones Kane Rice , Shaw ( injured). Rashford ..
Great football minds the coaches of Real Madrid msn city , Arsenal Bayern Munich think these are elite players.
Please refrain from your personal insults towards me, if you reply.
Cheers

Good summary.

The difference was that great try saving tackle by Barrett. Ireland made if hard for themselves having to chase the game.
Interesting to see if New Zealand can back up this performance as it would have sucked a lot of emotional and physical energy

Love your optimism, but we are nowhere near good enough. That was an English second team with debutants and if we getting much better we should have beaten them . Honestly would we beat Englands third strength team, which would be full of epl players
I can’t see it . We have players in mainly second or third teir leagues .
Those World Cup wins were based on good organisation and resilience with some nice finishing, but we beat teams of comparable quality to us.

Melbourne ruined their own spring carnival by making it so easy for European to qualify and win. It’s not interesting anymore. Also Australia has never regularly produced consistently great stayers anyway , it was New Zealand or euro Breds that won most cups in the last 50 years. Zabeel was a New Zealand stallion
The slipper is what it is.
Todays Everest winner was by so you think . Cox plate winner who has produced winners from 1200-2409 at group 1.

England without the best players were too good. We are still miles away from the top nations unfortunately.

Interesting first month of the season so far . Christian Mc Caffrey is such an amazing player, just makes tacklers miss so often . What about my Chicago bears , yikes they are a mess .
Problems for the Pats, Stroud's statement and are the busted Bengals buried? NFL week 4 wrap
Peyton Manning at colts and broncos was in the AFC. As were the ravens and Steelers who were top drawer over a long period . Brady also beat mahomes to get to a Super Bowl .
Which worldwide club has the greatest story?
Packers are a great story, but there not handicapped financially by their owners in the rich salary cap competition .
Which worldwide club has the greatest story?
Beautiful pass and finish

I’ve often thought this idea had potential, probably 20 years ago when buying a championship club was far cheaper than now , stacking with Australians kids and a talented mix of other nations players and recruiting the best coaches they could afford. Obviously since the a league inception, this idea is probably redundant now .
