Nick's Collingwood Bulletin Board

If they were playing the soccer match in the park next to my house I'd close the curtains. I have zero interest in it as a sport or a spectacle.

tomorrow i will go to the footy but disappointed i will miss the soccer.

Even if it involves the scum the first AFL game of the H&A season is a must watch.

I think if you polled even people on a soccer site they would struggle identifying where in the world the other team comes from

Collingwood ahead of any soccer match - some big world cup games might get my attention over a footy game involving other clubs - so that is not very often. Local soccer is too low a standard to even consider.

Is soccer even a real game?

I'll watch Australia and still have enough time to laugh at Carlton in the last quarter.

Socceroos all the way.

A Timmy hat trick and a Carlton 100 point loss would do nicely.

It's up there with Curling or badminton for mine.

Easy enough to watch both. Neither is likely to be interesting enough for 100% of the game. AFL takes preference though, not a huge game for the Socceroos.

So much easier to watch a one sided Socceroos game than 2 absolute shit clubs like Richmond and Carlton play.

The AFL doesn't really understand, the opening game of the season should be a showcase of the game, not a battle between two irrelevant teams, who have been, and will be irrelevant for a long time to come.

stui, that pleases me. i think. american football is not a sport.

as i have often said, it's the afl's annual contribution to the comedy festival.

Won't watch either. The AFL game will be boring as all ****. Richmond will win by 100+ and I find most soccer games boring too.

i used to think i'd rather have my eyes poked out rather than sit through a game but now i can't get enough of it. i am somewhat sad that i did not gain appreciation for the sport earlier. ironically, it was the lack of afl in the offseason that saw me gravitate to soccer.

That is why the A-League moved to summer as not many people where Paying Attention to A-Lesgue with NRL and AFL in season
