We have 15 players, 2 Goalkeepers, 3 Defenders, 8 Midfielders, and 2 Strikers; if Czech Coach, Franz Straka, is going to play his usual 4-5-1, we have enough suitable players to be on the field, with 4 substitutes.
This is exciting, with everything looking up for the new-look re-established Fury!
We need to show our support over the next 2 months before Fury Season 2 starts for us!! We need to show the FFA that we can support our Football community, including the professionals. Show the Cowboys Supporters that we do belong in the limelight and show the nay-sayers that we have a respectable team that can win. The fact that we have a team in the A-League gives us a better chance to have the World Cup games in our city.
The other codes in Australia reluctantly have backed our bid for 2018 or 2022 World Cup, after we could actually show that Football is the World Game, bringing more people than just 3/4 countries for the Rugby World Cup or the Union World Cup, bigger than the 2000 Sydney Olympics, or even more recently the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. People can't judge the Game by how we play, although we may not WC winners, we can shock people as the under dogs and give the opposition a run for their money when the need for it is in crunch time.
So this is how I feel! Let me know how you feel about the current status of how the Australians should support the world game.
Good stuff Karl. We're already confirmed as a World Cup city but the bigger the football scene gets here, the better it will be for everyone involved in the game.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely think that we need to be getting more season members signed up, and more people through the gates. I'd like to see the Fury try more 'free kids' days, or tying in a bit more closely with local clubs - most of the F Troop is made up of guys who have their hands in local clubs so it couldn't hurt.
