    Swans aim for LA visit every year

    Also, you've got a couple of things at work here. Paul Roos has spent a fair amount of time in LA. He has links to the USAFL - former American Revolution head coach. California has a somewhat decent juniors program going, although I do think that is in the Bay Area and not LA - some Cali boys...

    2005 Asian Championships

    Khmer Roos?!? That's terrible...I love it. :D Here's one from the US, not footy, but a horribly great name. There's a city in Georgia named "Macon". They had a minor league hockey team with the nickname of "Whoopie". "Macon Whoopie" Not quite as educated a reference as the Khmer...

    Rugby Union to spend big in South Pacific

    How'd we get on Rugby league anyway? The topic of the thread was rugby union's big push in Pacific. Can't we all just get along?

    Where to post-IC2005?

    Great questions! Good discussion. Being overseas with no local players on my national side (maybe next time), it is hard for me to have an understanding on just how good a success this IC was. From what I've read it was far and away better promoted by the AFL and better attended by the...

    Does SEN webcast? What is their website?

    IC Attendence

    Hey, guys! It's great to see all of the press that the International Cup is getting. It's miles ahead of what happened last time. What about crowds? Are there any at the games? About how many people are at these games and does anyone recall how many were at the matches in 2002? Any...

    International Cup Day 1

    Is there a central site where we can get updates on scores? Japan winning that one over Spain wasn't a surprise, but the margin was. I thought El Toros would have given them more of a match. Perhaps Japan is, as some have said, greatly improved.

    Draw for International Cup

    Nauru pulled out late - after the AFL had printed an enormous amount of copies of the schedule. So, there are going to be four rounds, semi-finals, and then the Grand Final. And to answer your question from another thread, this is the 2nd International Cup. The first was in 2002. The next...

    Does International Football Pay?

    With the new Aussie-US Free Trade agreement there are now a bunch more visas available strictly to Aussies wanting to work in the US. Washington DC, May 11, 2005 In a first for Australia, the United States has created a separate visa category (E-3 visa) specifically for 10,500 Australian...

    Sweden v Denmark: A first in international footy?

    Ouch! Saw the reason why the ambulance was called. That was one pretty well messed up leg! Yeah, it also doesn't help that the "Swedish lagkaptain " says that "that kind of thing happens all the time" with a pronounced Aussie accent.

    Canadian competiton...

    I took a look at the pictures of the ovals in Winnipeg. One thing that you can do is have the footy oval(s) between the pitches. Often times cricket clubs balk at having their grounds used for footy because they don't want their pitches all torn up. It looks like you can get around that on...

    Japan: Surely That Is A Good Effort?

    Peter, Yes, the US was all ready to send an U23 team in 2003, but the entire Arafura Games were cancelled due to the SARS scare. If memory serves me correctly, it was thought that sending a senior team to the IC and an U23 team to the Arafura Games in the same year would be too much to...

    An unmatched opportunity?

    Some clubs are already doing this, aren't they? I know that Essendon has had a US player train with them for each of the last 4 (5 ?) years. This year the player has stayed around and is playing amateur football in Melbourne someplace. You can find his journal at http://www.usfooty.com...
