AFL v World Cup: 3AW Debate
ABOVE: 3AW Football's Brian Taylor and Soccer Media Commentator Roy Hay have the same debate raging around sporting clubs and pubs across Australia. Should the AFL step aside for the World Cup or is FIFA and the FFA showing no respect?
This debate comes on the back of AFL boss Andrew Demetriou saying Etihad Stadium is off limits for Football Federation Australia, which has led to the FFA saying they will remove Melbourne from its proposed World Cup matches (should Australia win its bid, of course).
World Cup could 'kill clubs'
AFL boss Andrew Demetriou speaks to 3AW's Neil Mitchell about te very
real prospect of an entire AFL season being cancelled if Australia
successfully wins its bid to host the soccer World Cup. Would this
'sacrifice' be worthwhile?

Martin, it is true Aussie Rules is played in many countries - but that is only a very recent development and the numbers are just over 50,000 which is still small globally. The International Cup of Australian Football is every 3 years (next 2011). The problem with the current FFA World Cup bid is it was blatently unfair to the AFL, NRL and ARU - which is why the federal govt. has taken over it.

AFL think they are able to take on the world but, it is not the case. On a world stage soccer is much larger than AFL.AFL will be lucky to cut it in Western Sydney, you watch that club sink before 2020.

martin i think what u said is just absolute rubbish. football is the "real football" or as u like 2 say it, (soccer), and no it isnt a miner sport in asutralia its the biggest junior played sport in the country so get your facts right.

Matt you are right I don't know what aussie ball is either but I know what football is and it is the AFL. Soccer is a minor sport in Australia just like table tennis is. Name me one team from Melbourne and lets see if anyone else has even heard of them. Soccer in Australia is a game for expats from other countries and will never be a true sport just a game played by women and those men that do not like contact sports. Golf is more dangerous than soccer.

Martin Chiangmai you are joking right? Football is massive in Thailand, the locals, like 99.99% of the world don't even know what Aussie Ball is. I was there 6 months ago when Liverpool FC were about to come to Bangkok & the interest was massive. Let's see Geelong sell out a stadium in Bangkok in 2 hours...hahaha...it would be just ex-pats like you!

Aussie rules is played in many countries. You have the international cup in Melbourne every year. You have have players from Africa, Japand and Ireland to mention a few actually registered players for AFL clubs. Has an aussie ever played that soccer thing outside of australia
