in my opinion, soccer is and unpopular game in Australia, not because of the domination of aussie rules, rugby or cricket but the time difference. Many of us are inspired by superb standards of soccer games in Europe, especially England and Spain.

The time difference between Europe and Asia meant that back home, we are able to watch those matches live at 10pm on Saturday. Making it a good timing for friends to get together and watch it live in pubs. Over here in Australia, and Sydney as I found out, matches start very late and for example, the match between Manchester United and Hull starts at 2am on Sunday morning.

If over time, the people are able to witness great matches, great play and great comebacks, they will be glued to the world game. and try as I might over here, i can only watch the highlights online. still love the game.
