Oh and cos. You forgot to mention its an international cup where all the best players in the world and all the players in the world who are widely considered as professional... dont play :_<>

So far media coverage has been scant...but that should change as knowledge of the International Cup grows

Ah read my first sentence again and then take back your ridiculous comment! :_<>

Yes, 'bout 2000 odd aussies might be looking forward to the next international cup. The rest would prefer watching an event where professional sports persons are involved.

Australian expats aren't allowed to compete in the Australian Football International Cup.

Neither are Australian's

[Stewie]

Neither are Australian's

Yep, it really is a truly international cup. Other countries playing our great game.

[Rabbit]

So why can't Australia play in it?

[Stewie]

They can. We would just win easily so other countries have a chance of competing and winning.

Well that just proves what a joke the cup is

It really puts a hole in nRL fans' theory that no one outside Australia that isn't an Aussie expat plays football.

I think there's a fairly massive loophole in the ol 'no expat ruling' there stewie. If my memory serves correctly its something like 2 years in another country and you're not an expat, or, if you receive permanent residency then you're not considered an expat. Do you have any idea how many expats would fit into these rules stewie me boy? Probably in the hundreds of thousands. The international cup...It's jam packed full of aussie expats!

Yes, people do watch the soccer and RU WCs.
If you hadn't posted that it was a rlwc year I wouldn't have known.
Nobody else knows.

You guy live in la la land,
Nobody outsidethe fishbowl of Sydney gives a rats.

The International Cup grows with quality and depth at each passing.
That's really all that matters - going forward.

.

what tha Ah cos when did i post its rlwc? Who's in lalaland? The International Cup is a sporting holiday for amateur to novice unpaid unprofessional sportsmen who are mostly aussie expats. Onwards and upwards as Aussie migration increases. Going forward on sporting holidays indeed! :_<>

The countries around the world are already preparing for the 2014 AFL International Cup.
Each competition sees the number and quality of the teams rise significantly.
Divisional structure ensures balanced competition and the spread of international competition around the world ensures that teams are prepared . The new Asian AFL joins AFL Europe and North American competitions in providing intermediate competition.

So far media coverage has been as scant a rl wc outside the fishbowl of Sydney, but that should change as knowledge of the International Cup grows. At least we don't have the totally unbalanced situation of the rlwc whereby a minor sport in NZ take on the combined might of NSW & Qld players imported mainly from NZ and the Pacific. Where other pretenders are represented by a fast imploding league in Northern England or where in typical rl form the French are still blaming their demise on the WW VIchy forces.

Yes, looking forward to the next International Cup.

This is the sort of posts that made you legend Cos.....................

Bonkers does not even come close to describing you, your delusions are grand........

What about striking while the iron is hot up at Newcastle.................they are gaging for the AFL up in newcastle..................

[King-Eliagh]

Who's in lalaland?

You. if you think anyone outside of the fishbowl of Sydney cares about the rlwc.

Australian Football is seeing interesting and positive developments across the world.
From what I can see rl is seeing a few setbacks across the world.

.

Ah there's hundreds of thousands in NZ and England who quite enjoy the RL world cup. Add to that figure the same in Aus including brisbane, canberra, newcastle, wollongong, the GC, townsville, etc etc etc...basically all the most populated towns and cities in aus bar melbourne

And all the while the international cup gains no media, and draws a crowd no bigger than a regional RL 3rd division grandfinal

Lala land cos? It's your home. Dont knock it, embrace it. Ignorance is bliss my man
