At least minnows like Italy and Holland will have a chance to show their wares on the world stage.

Fantastic atmosphere at the stadium... great game. France full of individual brilliance but we played as the better team perhaps. We have avoided the opening round thrashing of the last two

Spurs. Unreal.

Pretty much every European game we play is completely whack.

13 minutes in against Inter: 3-0 down with our keeper sent off. 35 minutes in: 4-0 down.

Bale scores a second half hat-trick (including one of the best of the season) and we finish 4-3 losers having played over 80 minutes with 10 men.

happy to watch it on tv at the pub from some other country.

i agree totally with your summation of elle and joolia. very embarrassing to listen to i thought

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I agree , WYL, I don't want it,either.

But the reason I'm opposed is because I see Soccer as a threat to our home-grown, superior game, Australian Football

Having the World Cup here will not only badly disrupt the season of the Footy I'm interested in, but it will concentrate attention on the inferior sport.

Many young kids will follow soccer instead of Australian football. Especially the kids of recently arrived Australians. I love the idea of migrants embracing the Australian way of life, and in my opinion, that includes Aust. Football, not European football, or "mobile wrestling"(rugby...also not native Australian).

I like the idea of us Australians distinguishing ourselves sportwise by having a very strong League of our very different game.

I see the World Cup in Australia(Sydney), as a threat to that.

Well done Hammers....4 nil v. Manchester U. in he Carling Cup!!!

The EPL Football i do really like, attacking. But the European Brand of Soccer is just dull most of the time as it all hinges on defence.

I do enjoy the WC for that one month, but i do not want it in my backyard-i see no gain & nobody will be able to hail a cab for weeks. Stuff that!!

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
