This thread shouldn't be an AFL V Soccer one but if Foster is concerned about AFL practice matches interfering with the bid for the World Cup how paranoid are the Australian World Cup bid and how organised are they?. Serious question.

The A League is worried about NAB cup matches interfering with their showcase games. I mean think about it, there bloody practice matches. It shows exactly where soccer fits with the population.

Villa getting very frustrated now. Could easily have been a card for the foul on Routledge

Yes yes and yes. He was top notch in the game last night indeed.

Cmon Kiwi's hit the front. Make it very hard for the diving scum in blue shirts. Cmon God do your job and defend New Zealand so their midfielders can get up front.

And all I can say is Karma for the turds.

Never have I been so happy for a New Zealand sporting. they can justifiably hang as much s**t on us as they want now we deserve it but thank you New Zealand for keeping the biggest disgrace to world Football a draw.

Loved the add. Please show in Italia.

Oh wow.. Your defending these players. These players of yours are either pansies or cheats. I'd say both. Nothing there to love.

I know going to ground is a tradition but the theatrics of these Iti's . Seriously I would be ashamed to have these guys representing my country.

OK after the dive 4 years ago, the ref last night and the dive tonight I have lost all respect for Italian football. You might be world champions but you are cheats and a disgrace to world sport. There is nothing to be proud of the Italian football team regardless of results.

If I knew where to riot I probably would.

That is not entirely out of the question with this keeper but were not going to find out unless we start forcing him to make some saves. It's time to start peppering the goals.

A -4 goal difference grim needing Ghana to win against Germany. Yep a Draw is the end of the road.

Branko retired and the rest of them are in disgrace and should be inside. This guy should be shot.

You truly are a dick head.

I cant belive after the huge match fixing scandals that Italian referees are allowed so early back at the world cup. And aftetr that BS you have to ask really you do.

Another generation of true believers who will soon lean the disappointments of following an Australian soccer team.

Forgetting the bias of two camps trying to score points over each for irrelevancy. Title of thread is true. 9 Million has been wasted on a manager out of his depth. Perhaps rather than focusing a world cup bid FFA should be spending money on a manager who could achieve something with this team.

OK Im an AFL who can get enjoyment out of Australia in soccer and there is a lot of s**t spoken on both sides of this debate on here. However while Pim is coach of the Australian soccer team darts is far more entertaining than the Socceroos.

I don't think they want him.

Brad Green was considered premier league potential

Now Now Stat, don't go annoying the nice folk in the Championship thread.... come August you'll be talking to them a lot more often. :p

Good than, that's fair enough. But don't go bitching that Soccer is being dissed off by the AFL / NRL because they haven't being informed them of what they are expected to do. Its a choice to leave them in the dark the AFL and NRL have every right to say they are being kept in the dark and...

These threads are becoming worse than AFL V NRL. So many threads all discussing the exact same bloody thing and it has nothing to do with the facts. Fact 1: No one knows what the FFA want the AFL to do during any proposed world cup. If Soccer fans can disagree please show evidence that the...

This may be true but it's time the AFL, NRL and whoever else where given direct guidance of what they need to do. It would possibly stop the scaremongering,

As I said the FFA seem to be a little behind in their orginisation of this bid. A lot of people seem to support it without anyone having a detailed plan of what we need to do. at the very least 2018 seems to far fetched on the current performance of the FFA bid so far. Though it seems...

And afl fans are the ones being accused of being scared and insular. If soccer were so big they would be able to handle this so called minor sports in the background. The AFL will continue through any world cup played in the middle of the Australian winter.

I tipped uninterrupted able to use Ethiad. I can well imagine the week of the final as being a bye round for the AFL. Any more than that and the AFL is sacrificing itself and it should not be required to do that.

China have had a major issue with gambling corruption in their domestic soccer league. Despite it's authoritarian rule it has not been able to totally come to grips with controlling this. It's a look FIFA don't wont to be associated with,.
