SYDNEY'S iconic Harbour Bridge was covered with 11,000 square metres of real grass so 7,500 people could enjoy a picnic breakfast 50 metres above Sydney Harbour in support of Australia's bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022. And as a symbol of the nation's support a four metre high giant ‘Come Play!' football was rolled down the centre of the Australian landmark by Football Federation Australia chairman Frank Lowy, FFA CEO Ben Buckley along with a selection of players from the Qantas Socceroos and Westfield Matildas.

Players from Football United, a football program for refugees, and local club the Granville Rage Super Youth League U15s also took part in the festivities. "Breakfast on the Bridge is a wonderful example of what Sydney and our nation has to offer - just look at this magnificent harbour landscape. It is picture perfect," Lowy said. "It is an honour that this year Breakfast on the Bridge has a football theme. "I am delighted to see so many football supporters here today to send a strong message around the world - we want to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Bit like the UCI in Geelong last week
157,000 there on the final day and a global audience of 400 million but many wouldn't even know it was on(or what sport it even was),such are the entrenched vested interests here in oz-but thats life

Carry on

This is the first I've heard of this - and I watch Foxsports News quite a bit! Certainly haven't seen it mentioned on any of the other channels.

Well, good luck to them. They'll need it.

The whole World Cup bid has completely dropped off the radar over this side of the country. So much so I forgot all about this section on Bigfooty. Haven't been in here for ages.

Clearly you don't watch it enough. It's been on foxsports, channel 7, sbs, abc, channel 9, channel 10 and on a multitude of channels globally.

Well - maybe I actually have a life. I am out most nights mate, better things to do than sit at home watching TV. Such as actually playing sport and interacting with people at bars/restaurants/cafes etc.
