You argue for the sake or arguing funny the first few times, after the next few hundred it does get slightly annoying the word 'troll' does come to mind
Strange considering I said this
Did they? Don't remember that but I'll take your word for it.
Facts are simple really, adelaide game was a one off and it has been some time since the last game (5 years apparently) and another one is not planned.

Comparing it with sydney which has regular games is pretty funny really.
Another fact is that you're also comparing it with a city that has 4 times more people where the game was played venue with a rectangular configuration making it more attractive to attend. Considering you can't even recall the last time the Socceroos played in Adelaide your knowledge or interest in the topic is clearly very limited.

4 times the population and 10 times the games. I nearly forgot, not going because the didn't like stadium :lol:

Still waiting for the stats from bandwagon boy.

I know you have to pretend it's good but I imagine really you know the crowd was poor.

Adelaide slammed Sydney on per capita basis, just as AU have to SFC over the journey.

Can you provide these stats. I don't think they care about per capita when deciding on international venues. If they did then you'd probably find that all games would be played in some small little country town.

What you imagine and what is reality are two vastly different things you have shown.

Apologies, my imagination gave you too much credit then.
