Nah wouldn't be higher, loook at the ratings they got, bigger than Cathy Freeman's race (admittedly the population has increased since then). Reason is simply more females will watch the Matildas whilst male fans will still watch.
I don’t think it’s sustainable for the females to continue to attract those audiences though, it was very convenient. Once those conveniences are gone, the interest wont be there. Also I think you’re underestimating the allure of a World Cup in football.
Oh for sure, I just think it's unique to this country because so many females watch them that don't watch the Socceroos.
Yeah it was pretty cool to see
We shall see, hope you’re right and that it does continue to grow. But I thought the men’s game would go from strength to strength after our Asian cup win.
Admittedly not all teams have shown improvement, like a traditionally poorly supported club like Western United (both mens and womens), but some of them like Sydney FC have shown big improvement.
Not big crowds but still 3-4 times higher at the moment. This is what I was saying about consistency, the Aussie women’s games will sell out but they are still casual fans not your week to week lovers of the game.
Yep, knocked the Saudis out on penalties. Will be a mammoth mountain for Australia, South Korea are ****ing stacked.
I assume Son will be playing?
Captaining and leading the line yeah.
Cheers mate. Shame it's on at such a shitty time for our part of the world, would have liked to have watched it live.
Idiotic. He gave away the free kick tooWhy did Miller dive in like that? 90 seconds away.
