i dont mind soccer its self, & when ever the Aussie team plays a game in Australia every one becomes a soccer fan, a bit like the NRLOL SOO every one from NSW & QLD becomes a league fan, then after the games, only the select few could care and are still passionate about soccer or league.
the bit that is the biggest worry for the australian soccer is its supporters seem to have a few screws loose, similar to the league fans but in a different way

ARTS, flares, a hammer, bolts and bags of nails were among potential weapons seized at A-League matches last year.
The list of would-be missiles confiscated from football fans was revealed as police prepared to mount a massive presence at Allianz Stadium in Parramatta last night for the Western Sydney Wanderers v Sydney FC local derby.
At last year’s match on October 24 police were forced to fire tear gas before the match even started, when up to 60 Wanderers supporters charged at a group of Sydney FC fans, starting a brawl and resulting in several arrests.
Following the brawl police found large bolts and a hammer that were believed to have been brought to pelt the opposition.
“There have been past instances of items seized at games that have caused great concern to police. These have included darts, secreted flares, bags of nails and coins,” a police spokesman said.
