sooo...many caps

+1 for Bosnich in the early hours, he was the sane voice of reason.

England finished 4th of 4 bids for 2018.

watching the live fox coverage: evidently this time around we'll get the vote breakdowns for the first time ever Russia up - 2018 Qatar - 2022 GRats to all I suppose. Was it just me or did i see the russians cheer before the name was even read out. Australia will not be able to...

With the voting tonight I figured what the hell, lets have a look back at how we got to where we are. Note: this was originally a spreadsheet, whcih contains a link to all the relevant articles. You can find that here i have not included any analysis in the OP 2007 - FIFA ends rotation...

Why yes he did. Couldnt quite believe that myself.

The key word wasnt really leagues. It was "decades of failed"

Really? you dont think the arguments will continue if we win the world cup? Thats when it really starts to heat up. If we lose the world cup it continues as well...from the other side no doubt claiming we sabotaged it or something

Some codes are more culturally significant than others. Especially in melbourne. Dont like it. I suggest you check the figures on crowd attendances and tv viewing. Those are called facts. Also the FFA didnt have any say over the availability of Aami Park. They loved the heart v victory clash...

Its an odd legacy given it seats 100,000 right now.

We'll get over it when you get over the belief that you can just waltz in and ride the governments coat-tails to success in the australian sporting market, and when you get over this fixation that its the AFL to blame. It wasnt the state government showing FIFa through docklands, its was the...

for 12 weeks? 2 years running? not to mention the ground modifications to rectangularise it to fifa standards would have it out of commission longer. Thats 2/3rds of a season gone. Extra fans going to AFL matches wont make up for the loss of capacity at the G when you have to play matches at...

3.5 million people a season at the MCG this year. 134,000 a week. 44000 per crowd average assuming 3 games a week at the G.

And FFA's contribution to this is? - Federally funded grants for the bid (48 million) - federal/state funds in the billions for stadium upgrades and builds. (more than 2 billion est) - federal government compensation to the AFL/NRL in the tens of millions of dollars. Just what are the FFA...

Why? The MCG will be be upgraded regardless. Stadium Australia is big enough as is the Gabba. The SCG remains unaffected by Soccer. Docklands is out of the picture anyway. Cararra is almost done and will suffice for a number of years anyway world cup or no world cup. The only Australian rules...

Havent we always done the pre season at that time of the year? Arent they almost always at night on fridays and saturdays? This is the entire problem with the world cup bid and soccer. they expect the AFL to shut up shop while they they promote themselves and their sport. And this is twelve...

If one entirely manufactured out of thin air AFL team can decimate a zone with four long standing traditional NRL teams in the NRL heartland, then the AFL isnt the NRLs biggest worry.
