Message: [QUOTE="dukey, post: 2257975, member: 2046"] I honestly would love for the World Cup comes to Australia. But not at the expense of local sports. Let the NRL and AFL continue to run during the WC. The soccer will still get huge crowds of people from overseas and curious locals who want to have a look, while the fans of the AFL and NRL still get to see what they want. The alternative of shutting down the local codes is really just breeding discontent and resentment amongst footy fans. Look at it this way - if I have to go eight weeks without footy as a direct result of Soccer, I'm going to hate soccer as a result. But if the footy is still running, I'm happy, and when my team has a bye I may just saunter on down to the closest WC match for a look. Everybody wins. [/QUOTE]
