I see. Haven't heard of Australian league, but hey, I did follow Aussie's team last world cup. Pity that game against Italy, they were doing great games...

We were doing pretty well until Italy. General concensus over here is we were pretty much robbed. :mad:

The A-League is pretty new we are at the end of the 3rd season right now since the league was revamped and made fully professional, it was pretty bad before then.

We are getting good crowds and alot of publicity, it has risen from nowhere to be the 2nd most followed sport in the country behind Australian Rules Football.

Hehehe, yes they are exciting. Now I remember that you moved from the Oceania Confederation, right. Asia's more competitive, I'm pretty sure that you'll do alright for South Africa.

Here the qualifyings are bored. Playing against countries that doesn't even have fields on their own (and usually have to play in the U.S.), that's the second phase (U.S., Costa Rica and Mexico are automatically qualified to the second phase). Then we have a six-team group with two all-against-all round. The first three places qualify to the World Cup.



That's pretty good. Perhaps last team was just a one-generation gold team. Having a league and lots of competitions will assure that you'll get many gold generations; good decision. I remember back in 1993 that Canada had an awsome team, which couldn't qualify for the 1994 World Cup (at the time, Mexico did, and U.S. was already qualified because they were the hosts). Since then, Canada lost their gold generation and done nothing (a Gold Cup in 2003, but nothing else).

So good about that. The next step would be to make a World Cup on your own. I'd be pretty much excited and wouldn't hestitate on visitin the Southern Land (Australia in Latin, that is :)).



:O Have soccer surpassed the Cricket? That would really amaze me...
