Message: [QUOTE="mal, post: 2263084, member: 1762"] Give it time, football will grow in Australia, everyone seems to expect it to happen over night. Another world cup or two and even the hosting of one will go a long way to doing so. When stars like Kewell, Cahill, Viduka and the likes were being shown on screen living the dream and portrayed as Australia's heroes, little kids who currently play look up to them. It's how most sports grow, everyone wants to be that guy. They stick with it at a young age, form a passion for the game. The only thing stopping football in Australia atm IMO is the our party culture we have far outweighs our passion for the game, and I have seen this first hand. Playing football all my life I see guys who have all the promise in the wolrd, most notably a mate of mine who played for Glasgow reserves, and was doing extremely well... he just wanted to come home, see his mates and party. As an example, others who were just as talented found booze, or weed, or whatever. The more passion for the game, the more people stick through it.. It will happen eventually, slowly but surely.
