FOOTBALL Federation Australia boss Ben Buckley has the chance to sell the nation's bid for the 2022 World Cup to movers and shakers in Zurich overnight. The FFA chief executive will address a gathering of influential figures at the International Football Arena (IFA) conference in the Swiss city. The hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups are set to be announced on December 2 in Zurich.

Australia's chances of hosting the 2022 World Cup have improved over time with the US viewed as the major rival ahead of the likes of Qatar, Japan and South Korea.

Early reports suggest his presentation is all about making soccer the number 1 sport in Australia compared to NRL or AFL.

Nothing about national pride, or the long term benefits to Australia. It is all about FFA's position on the sporting landscape in Australia. At my expense. As we all expected.

So? What do you expect him to do, kowtow to the AFL?

Dumb post.
In a 30 minute presentation you can absolutely be sure that he was pushing our barrow and what it would do for the nation overall
