    Foreign league matches have only been available on regular cable channels for the last two years-and espn just started regular weekly broadcasts this year.

    Because it's low maintenance, and the plethora of soccer moms don't want their little darlings getting hurt.

    To the OP, what are "ethnics"? Sounds racist to me. But I have no idea since Im not Aussie.

    Everyone hates soccer here, let's not kid ourselves.
    The only people that like it are ethnics and a small minority of anglos Aussies.

    What a ridiculous statement! :roll:

    I love my league but I love world cup time. Australia's a sporting nation and loves it when we get on the world stage and compete. We sucked last night and all those comments are sour grapes and close minded AFL fools.

    Bahahahahahaha way to go. Go the Maroons wednesday night!!!

    Ethnics are people like me, non-Anglo Aussie.
    Ethics/Wogs in Australia are Greeks, Italians, Croatians, Maltese, Lebs, etc etc.
    Ethnic is not a racist term, the media use it, Wog can be seen as offensive.

    Whoops...sorry... ;) Ethinic is ok that way they aren't singling out any particular cultural background. Gotta be careful now as even the rangas are starting to get all sensitive (JK)! Joking people, joking.

    was that better TA?? :)

    Oh and I am your all day everyday mongrel bred aussie, decendant from convicts on the 2nd fleet with an injection of irish and slovenian blood! :lol:
