Firstly to compare a boxing day test to a soccer game is a bit silly.

70- 90 thousand people in the MSG for 6 to 8 hours is not the same as 35 thousand at a soccer game for a couple. While you will always have a small minority in any group the causes trouble, Soccer seems to get far more doesn't?

Soccer is such a silly game that it's main hook is ethnic rivalry.

I can understand why many parts of the world they play soccer, having never been exposed to AFL or even NFL of that matter, but why people would choose soccer over AFL once you see both is beyond me.

Clearly this is a minority of people who reside in Australia as you can see by the attendance of the A-League games

Hear, hear and well said Sir!

And to quote that intellectual giant of celluloid fame (shot in the buttocks) Forrest Gump, [who in all likelihood is considerably brighter on his own than the entire referenced group,] "stupid is as stupid does!"

Soccer certainly attracts violent spectators. So-called Greek-Australians should be ashamed of themselves for supporting a Greek side, or any other foreign side, against Australia. But, it is quite clear that only Australians of Anglo-Saxon background can ever be true Australians. The rest are here for personal gain; no loyalty involved.

Oh well done ttbn. Just when I thought you couldn't possibly say anything more ignorant and racist than before, you go ahead and post the above.
Charming...
It would be a pretty boring cricket game if all we ever played were your glorious white people now wouldn't it?

All the above comments and the article prove is that Rugby Union is the only sport that should be played.

The violence stays on the field in the Game played in Heaven

Get a life you lot.
