[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 1059334, member: 76427"] The pitch was not regulation size. It was too narrow and the in goal was too short. It wasn't about the lines (although in Aus/NZ we do somehow manage to change them between games - truly shocking level of technological advancement). But fine - let WR send yet [I]another[/I] world cup to the northern hemisphere. Try and 'build the game' in a place that has no interest in it. Why the hell not? Oh yeah - because it's rapidly losing traction in it's traditional strongholds in the Southern Hemisphere - and in the case of Australia at risk of disappearing altogether. Sending the WC to a place where it isnt even a supported sport seems properly moronic to me. But then I suppose I have a vested interest. [/QUOTE]
