| ^^ what do you guys mean about the \'ignorance of the new found aussie supporters\'? the only thing i really noticed was the boos when someone passed back to the keeper (which i admit annoyed me a tad hehe). |

MEANING PEOPLE WITH GREEK BACKGROUNDS SHOULDNT BE SUPPORTING GREECE.
I think many Greeks were supporting Oz as well, obviously, however why the shouldnt they support the Greeks.
ITS IGNORANT ILL-MINDED, UNEDUCATED FUKFACES LIKE THAT, THAT MAKE ME WANNA GO OUT AND REALLY BUY A SHOTGUN!
HELLO, ITS NOT THAT THE PARENTS ARE 'RAMMING' IT DOWN THEIR CHILDRENS THROAT, ITS WHO THEY ARE. ITS A PART OF THEIR IDENTITY, KNOWING ONES HISTORY & CULTURE SHAPES A PERSONS IDENTITY.
HOW ING PATHETIC.
OH SO IF WE TOOK EVERYONES CULTURE AWAY FROM THEM, WHAT WOULD YOU BE LEFT WITH?
MUTHAFUKER. |

It's not like an AFL side can compete at any world event?! |
Fortunately we don't have to put up with AFL in NSW and Soccer is the most played sport by youths and adults up here of every culture (I had 9 different nationalities in one of my soccer teams). It really suprised me when someone in melbourne told me Football is called "wog ball" in melbourne because only 'ethnics' play it, i think it's a pretty sad indictment actually :( |

I'm quite happy to debate this one with you Chris.
I think both sports are excellent, last night was one of the best nights i have had at the 'g', and they will ultimately co-exist really well, but that's such an ignorant comment you've made. I'll give you a few reasons why...
1. How often can Australia (or any other team) compete in a world event? Every four years, meaning that in the interim there's a hell of a lot of downtime isn't there ;) You've just dissed the "new found aussie supporters" and their "ignorance" but ultimately if Australia doesn't have them then it has nothing, so maybe it's attitudes like that that keep the general population from following soccer on a regular basis?
2. So you're saying that Greece came here on a Holiday? And that people should understand that? And that international clubs take precident (which is understandable). Well that's another reason why this won't be the beginning of AFL's decline because if the players are not taking it seriously then why should anyone else?
It's divisive attitudes like yours Chris which will ultimately only mean that soccer stays where it is at the moment on a local level, which is well and truly in the background - and that would be a real shame.
PS. did anyone see the pitch intruders at the end getting paraded handcuffed in front of the press for photographs?
