It’s been a threat for a looong time Daniel. We should be leading with it in the news no doubt, but it’s nowhere near as popular in Oz and never will be.

The entire team are foreign imports

I’m glad, Braden. Ask Michael Atkinson for his morning report today….World event, national team playing, my opinion - you lead with that story, not the local derby. Enjoy the win and hopefully some better coverage tomorrow! 💚💛

😂😂😂😂 if you really cared about the national soccer team you’d follow the A League but there you go you bandwagon jumping simpleton, dont come here acting as if soccer is an important part of our national sporting identity when ppl here dont take it seriously

That reminds me, how did Australia go in that glorious international cup? Must have been massive

That's 9 for you, no AFL also.

I don’t even follow soccer, I follow our national teams in any major event. Like the majority of the country does, except miserable pricks

Socceroos have their first @FIFAWorldCup match this morning and @Channel9 morning sports report serves me State of Origin, NRL, AFL & swimming news and NO @Socceroos news. Wow. WOW. Wow. Actually no wow, just yuck.

What the fuck are you even talking about you fat cunt? Nobody watches the horse shit A league because it’s garbage. This thread is about the World Cup. Try to keep up big boy

Huh? If you’re not going to add anything intelligent to a discussion just say quiet. As the saying goes: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

🙄🙄🙄🙄

But,but it's the world game🤭

You bogan

I said “arguably and “in many metrics”. I didn’t declare it 100% unequivocally the largest event. E.g. the World Cup has more viewership worldwide than the olympics does both measuring them as whole events and singular matches/events. Whereas the olympics includes more nations.

That'll change now, just watch.

We just beat a national team whose value is 6x the entire socceroos squad. Keep talking

👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

Enjoy following a sport that isnt even recognised as football here in the summer time where the national comp has to be played because its to scared to compete with the other codes here
