OT: Association Football

[Dark Corner]

And the ARL are still struggling to sell out the jewel in the crown on Wednesday night.
It's a cracking game tonight.

Matildas v China 76,798
NSW v QLD 77,214.

I think revenue is what matters. The Super Bowl only got around 60k

With A-league... mostly, since there seems so much controversy, inversely proportionate to the level of play.

But with international level, all my posts are about the game/s.

I don't buy the "so much controversy" line.

People like you who seem to have an issue with the A League are the ones driving the controversy.

Ok, you're entitled to your opinion.

I thought it would be the media - who write and publish the articles rather than a single poster on a message board sharing the link to said articles - that might be in the driving seat around A-League controversies. Or dare I suggest, it might even be the A-League players and fans involved in the controversies themselves?

or, dare I suggest another option ?

people on fan forums who only post articles about the controversy rather than the game ?

Sounds familiar

You have suggested it. I respectfully disagree with the diagnosis of what is driving the A-League's problems.

Good read imo.

*Awaits accusations of having agenda etc*

With Australia's national teams riding high, why is the A-League on the brink of collapse?

The A-League owners pushed for the split away from Football Australia, but they left the sport's governing body with the three biggest money-spinners: the Matildas, Socceroos and grassroots football. Now the professional league is at risk of collapse.

Anyone seen any of the Euros so far.

It would be great if @Avenger Serbia can do some damage to the Poms in the morning and have them on tilt early on in the tournament.

Unlikely however I have money on Serbia and am predicting a 2-1 come from behind win.

First up England may be a bit edgy. Always a tonne of pressure on them at World Cup and Euros.

And f**k England anyway its never coming home no matter what those pricks over there think.
