2008 AFL International Cup Grand Final - Part 1

[nko11]

LOL at AFL

[fjbutch]

This is magic...I'm an Aussie living in NZ now...and bugger me...they play Aussie Rules here....bewdy.....great game...

[cahman44]

When Aussie rules becomes international, America will start to dominate

[gutterziswin]

@cahman44 You've gotta be joking. It'd take any country years to get up to Australian standard.

[cahman44]

@gutterziswin yeah it would take years and years, but if it became as big as it is in australia, in america. then they would eventually dominate i reckon...i'm aussie too, i'm just saying that their athletes are so incredible..

[cairosl]

@gutterziswin  not years, decades ;P

[colin4393]

@cahman44 What the fuck are you talking about...

[stuckupcurlyguy]

wow some of these guys look really skilled ... where can I find the full match? looks interesting with short, fast png against bigger and less skilled kiwis...

[Moari4lyfe1]

big crowd theres about 50 people there...huge crowd

[dBLINDb]

"and thats the result the kiwi's where looking for... its a....goal" haha. hopefully other teams get gud enuf so australia can have a team, we cant now or it will be to easy.

[thegreig]

shock me nrl people sooking on an AFl video didnt see that coming... if only they spent as much time going to there game as they did crying on you tube about how afl sucks maybe then they would be able to pay their players enough to not swich codes

[aussie827]

@TheExcellentEdge Um, my name is aussie because I'm Australian? And no, you do not need any of those things to play gayfl, you just need to be fit at gayfl and your the best at it, kicking is NOT hard. But who cares anyway, you get a point for missing....

[aussie827]

i watched 1 minute of that and went straight down to the comments to type this, worlds worst game

[crukopua]

they should just give up this gay sport and play rugby,rugby league or soccer

[sexuallyawkward]

@crukopua

well said chap (Y)

[aussie827]

@crukopua best thing ive heard all day

[djfunkychicken]

If this game was held on any other day in australia, attendance would be higher by staff and workers than actual supporters

[69shano69]

they should do another world cup they should get all the irish afl players to play for irlend,the all australian team,the nz team with trent croad,brett runoff,and paul bower, a fiji team with nic natanui and david roden a PNG team with mal michael and samoa and nauru and south africa and telecast it on tv 8 nations thats pretty good

[jackhoodle]

aha they should get mal michael to play for png and trent croad to play for nz

[Sonicfury234]

these are newly developed international teams. the AFL seats 128,000 people and to have 30,000 in the stadium at the end of the match is pretty good considering NRL doesnt even get that many on average. IT's true look it up. i have played 12 years of football and been to more games than you have had dinners NRL fans

[darko43211234]

IS NOBODY WATCHING?!!?!

[insanefooty]

The MCG seats 100,000 people. This was a curtain-raiser match. There were probably about 30,000 in the stadium by the end of the match, but even with a crowd as big as that it still looks empty. That's a reasonably big crowd by anone's standards.

[chrisso3]

LOL "big crowed in today"

[luketheauzzie]

all those afl teams u named. AFL is those countries are hardly even know. Only in nz afl would actually have around 500 registered players lol

[roostersrock19]

there should be a test match "Australia vs Ireland"

[saintbowen79]

there was and all they did was fight!

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

thats 16,  bout the same as league

[saintbowen79]

i think he ment on a serious level, not on some part timers/ made up names, and even if they are real, how can you have a national side without a club competition to produce the players!!!

[opie2210]

dont forget the freedom team a combined team of israelis and palestinians

[MrArmin1986]

@luketheauzzie its england dragonslayers now i think

[69shano69]

2nd biggest sport in PNG, biggest sport in nauru, amature sport in NZ, the play a hybrid game called samoa rules in samoa wich combindes the elements of afl and rugby it's mostly afl, it's growing in fiji and solomainen islands, it's the fastest growing sport in south africa and there might be a afl tri nations series in 2011 irlend.aus.south africa

[MrArmin1986]

@69shano69 in england we have about 30-40 none pro teams in england

[taw2ga]

im a kiwi but luv AFL its a good sport hopefully we get good at it

[marcellin20a]

question: why doesnt NZ or PNG participate in the international series that is usually played between Ireland and Australia? It might in some way develop the international status of the game.

[saintbowen79]

they both play a real game called rugby league!!!!

[opie2210]

they have australia vs ireland in amatuer football...i think they will have it again though

[power070707]

Australia doesn't compete in the cup. It is played amongst about 12 countries i think. But yeah we do not compete because it would be way unfair, cause we are pro at Footy lol.

[roostersrock19]

were is Australia i thought they are pro at aussie rules.

[TruBlu1901]

this is for the other teams, not Australia cause it would be unfair..

[mrcatohead]

what the hell is this

[CH3LZx000]
