Country isn't up to scratch, but the football is?Originally posted by Fernandinho View PostBanditos put it perfectly. In Aus people tend to be brought up on the EPL probably due to the influx of people in England who realised their entire country wasn't up to scratch
.
The A-League at least for me and my mates come second to the EPL because of the quality of football and the stars on show. At uni the day after the Chelsea game I barely moved the whole day and still saw at least 5 Liverpool jerseys, there is just something about the club in Aus. I rarely see a jersey which isn't liverpool at uni, maybe the odd scum jersey.
We make a lot of effort to see the club play including flying around the world, but it would be nice if they could take a game which wouldn't even fill Anfield and that nobody really cares about (carling/fa cup) and bring it here. If you are really against it moving away then how come English based people don't take up the advantage we would kill for and fill the stadium for these games. You have absolutely no idea how blessed you are in this regard. I would literally bang my head against the wall to watch them live. Along with any other mate who follows football here I would be willing to watch any EPL game, just the chance to watch it live would be amazing. Some people over there take it for granted how lucky they are. Even if it is about the money for the FA I wouldn't care because it would be a huge benefit for someone like me and thousands of other Aussies.
If liverpool played here in a match vs Sydney FC they would still get 80,000 odd people.
Yaaawwwwwnn.Oh I don't know.
