That’s quite shit that if they finish third on the evening of Friday the 26th, they play the R32 in Boston on Monday morning. That would be a disaster. I appear to have snagged a not crazy expensive ticket (and it’s Canadian dollars not USD which helps a lot) to Australia v Turkey in Vancouver...

Wow! He’s a movie star now!

Tuckerman is a great writer (he writes for Football360 now). Can you please post his article? Thanks

Don’t disagree with any of that. I’m curious, let’s say Greece are playing Australia like the friendly at the MCG 20 years ago. What are your feelings/thoughts? Not having a go, just don’t personally have that experience as my background is a whole bunch of different countries/regions.

Yiqiyi springs to mind, but I’m sure there are others.

Got nothing against any of that. Also hope NPL and Australian Championship crowds grow. I’m an Aus football fan. Understand the hate for the A-League and that we are all not supposed to support it, but Aus football needs a successful top flight league. Unfortunately NPL ain’t that.

Asking for a friend?

It’s like the Chinese equivalent of the free to air ABC/SBS tv channels but with 12 (15? More?) channels.

To be fair CCTV is free to air not cable.

Not gloating at all. Context and facts right? No it’s not 61,000 but even a “shit crowd” of 16,000 it’s still 4 times what is considered a good NPL crowd right? The road is long………..

Don’t bother. Boring as. No reason to go there unless you’re collecting passport stamps.

Apart from Johor (JDT), the standard of the Malaysian League is worse than Singapore I would say.

I’ve been to Brunei many times. The airport only has 8 gates in an octagon shape. Has to be one of the smallest international airports in the world. Royal Brunei Air used to have flights from a few cities in Australia, now I think only Melbourne. I used to fly down to Sabah cheaply from China...

I’m all for supporting the rise of women’s football but what I don’t understand is how there’s a Home of the Matildas and a Sam Kerr Centre, but there still isn’t a Home of the Socceroos or a Tim Cahill Centre? How has that come about? The Socceroos have now qualified for 7 World Cups and the...

Multiply that by 4 and you’d have the same crowd as at the poorly attended match between Western Sydney Wanderers and Sydney FC…………

Only 40% more people and you’d have a bigger crowd than Perth! Keep up the good work!

First saw Younis playing in the Australia Cup in 2024 against Brisbane Lions. He scored and was impressive. Still impressed every time I see him play. Definitely a future Socceroo, but this WC probably too soon.

I’ve heard most away trips to Asia can cost the club up to $100K (Japan/Korea/China obviously more expensive than SE Asia), so how can Bergers realistically afford that?

You were only off by 10k or 266%, LOL
