Association Football is definitely on the rise in Australia, particularly following good runs for both the Men and Womens World Cup (yes R16 is a good achievement for us). Do I feel it'll overtake AFL/NRL, probably not, which is a shame. I have a small grudge against those European clubs founded here as my local city Ipswich was dominant in QLD pre WWII, (and also Sydney United because **** them) but you have to admit they've definitely grown the sport here.
