    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (4)

    World Cup First Winner from outside Europe or S.America?

    It'll be CONCACAF or CAF Algeria. Top ranked African team. Lots of N African players in Europe (especially France) that can qualify for Algeria. Mexico. USA.

    Would Australia be a power if football/soccer was the no 1 game here?

    No. The harder, faster, stronger mentality of Aussie coaches and sports fans doesn't work well in soccer (eg. in Rugby Union, great back line plays but we suck at the slower more intricate parts). The best Australia could hope for is something comparable to Eastern European teams.

    2012 Australian Open: Part 2

    Some questions about Rugby.

    No interchanges only substitutions. Temporary changes are allowed for injuries Just etiquette with the ref and capt to keep everyone in line. You get penalised for back-chatting and questioning calls - refs have no qualms about enforcing it.

    Some questions about Rugby.

    Best crossover is probably Brad Thorn. Starting for the All Blacks spent a few successful years in league with the Broncos, some Origin and Kangaroos experience. Extremely rare for forwards to crossover.

    Some questions about Rugby.

    Greater opportunities to earn a living playing league than union in Australia. Its still the case that you get union schoolboys turning to play league professionally.
