sammynb 3365 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Might be going if I can get a project based around one of the Australian players off the ground. First person hired is a local armed driver! Sweden is also missing Certain numbers of their supporters will really be missed.... It will be winter in South Africa so their presences would be less dramatic anyway. No excuse for the European nations and the heat next WC.

Guest Stevie Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Australia, NZ, SA and USA at a World Cup oh dear. You might as well call it the Commonwealth Games. Too many non football countries there for my liking, they'll take 10,000 between them, them three. I will copy and paste this in July, and am never normally this confident, but England will win the World Cup, there I've said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the most played sport in Australia? Yeah see you were wrong - again. Most played and most watched are two seperate things. When Australia or NZ score the sound, I mean it's like Mick Jagger's just come on stage, rather than a proper football roar. They'll never be football countries.

sammynb 3365 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Cricket, Rugby (Both codes) and Ozzie rules will be the most watched over football man. No, see you are so fucking wrong. Football actually is the biggest sport in this god forsaken sporting hole. All the others have free to air tv deals, football doesn't but there are over 400,000 registered footballers in Australia, the other sorts don't even come close. And it's the only sport not subsidised by either the sporting body or government so fees are twice the price of other codes. By the way, the last world cup, which was at fuck off 3 and 5 o'clock in the morning kickoff times, actually rated higher than the grand finals of both the league and aerial ping pong grand finals for the same year. Don't believe the mainstream Australian media, their vested interest is in all other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20216 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Aerial Ping pong Ive just done a google search and ALL of them rank cricket, RL, RU and OR above soccer, even swimming does.

Guest alex Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Aerial Ping pong Ive just done a google search and ALL of them rank cricket, RL, RU and OR above soccer, even swimming does. I know google isnt the be all and end all but surley some of its true? For most watched? He did say most played though. Also in Oz you have a lot of people from the Balkans, Italy, Greece etc. who are 1st / 2nd generation immigrants and football is very popular amongst them (probably no. 1 at a guess). Did you never watch 'Heartbreak High'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know google isnt the be all and end all but surley some of its true? Again I point you to the fact that all of the sports you have listed are protected by the free to air charter, football isn't although that has changed as of 2012. Anyway as Alex pointed out, I did state most played, not most watched, best funded or biggest load of wank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck off, don't you have to go somewhere so you can be mistreated by a girlfriend? Seriously I know because of both work related stats and being involved with an amateur football club that the most participated "organised competitive" sport in convict land is football with a round fucking ball and egg sports get more exposure, along with cricket golf, tennis, swimming, even motor racing gets better coverage than futbol does in this country.

JonTheMag 4 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Getting back on topic, who do you think/hope England will get drawn against for the group stages? I would love it if it was: England France New Zealand Honduras But whatever the pools are, it shouldn't be massively hard being as we'll be fairly high-seeded.
