What are everyone's thoughts on the qualifying format for the world cup? Many people say that it includes too many 'crap' countries like australia, but in my opinion if you let all the best teams qualify it would just become the euro with a few south american teams. It is the WORLD cup after all. So i support the current format, its important for football as a sport to have smaller footballing countries to be represented in the WC.

Dont get me wrong, I WANT them to put it on, but in reality its not gonna happen soon as the main target audience of these tv stations is NRL/AFL fans i.e. true blue aussies
Which is why we see so much junk on the tv

Hasn't the NRL and AFL season already finished though?

IIRC, the A-League and the NRL/AFL seasons aren't run simultaneously.

Hmm, well i dont think enough people watch it for it to be put up on those channels... Ive watched a couple of australia/a-league games at the actual stadium, but never a-league since i dont have fox sports. If people start supporting it, the league will grow in reputation and then better overseas players will start coming in and eventually our own aussie players will get better.
