I thought rugby was referred as football before Association football was formed.
Some people tell me that we professional players are soccer slaves. Well, if this is slavery, give me a life sentence.

TV promotion of the biggest International Football sport in the world coming to Adelaide let alone promotion on National TV (seen nothing).

This is so much a weakness at all levels on “main stream TV”
what does "biggest International Football sport in the world" mean?
Another Key Board clown, come on "get with the programe"

Football - Soccer number 1 sport internationally and FFA and Adelaide could not promote on any medium the opportinity, I might add a do or die game also.
Football - Rugby
Football -Union

Football - AFL (China) lol "what a joke" but a classic in promotion. It just goes to show how bad the FFA marketing is....
Question - MAGNET what does "biggest International Football sport in the world" mean?
Answer - MAGNET "There's only one football. Soccer is a term used by the simpletons"

The only simpleton is you, me having to break down the obvious, you have answered you own question. Thought the FFA "Football" Federation Australia, was a give away clue...

Depends on your definition of rugby. Rugby moved away from football, some may argue though that rugby is closer to what football was then though.

Let's be realistic. If the Wallabies came to town with no promotion, you'd probably find 10,000 at the game.

When the Socceroos come to town with no promotion, you'd still get 20-30,000 easily. Advertising will get us an extra 15-20,000. I'm sure there will be a bunch of people on Thursday saying "oh look, Advertiser says the Sokkaroos are in town, shall we go to our exquisite stadium across the world-class footbridge and watch Timmy Cahill header a few disposals?"

From wiki..........Adelaide Oval hosted two games of the 2003 Rugby World Cup. On 25 October, The Wallabies played their first international game in Adelaide when they defeated Namibia 142–0 in front of 28,196 fans. The next day Ireland defeated Argentina 16–15 in front of 30,203 fans.

Pretty sure grosso is referring to the saudis

Good thing to, as we wouldn't want to be seen as bigots or racists if we don't support the visiting team. Going to support Australia at AO would be downright redneck :lol:
