which of the three? Dick or one of the twin: Frank or Ronald?
Note: I think it is good that Austria is organizing it together with Switzerland, normally that will give a lot af media attention etc which results in that teh sport will become bigger.
There are three of them? Maybe that is why i got used to hearing this name.
Niki,
i am not against soccer sportswise but from a am. footballs fan point of view i COMPLETELY disagree regarding your statement above.
"We" hate this tournament.
You want to know why?
Football/Soccer teams, the f/s oriented media and all those f/s "managers" on all levels of the sport see am. football as a real enemy and try to destroy the reputation of american football whenever possible even with some help of politican-networks. They hate "us". And the reason fo this is in fact the success "we" had over the last couple of years regarding the media. "We" even had nation-wide live-coverage of games and "we" had up to 6000 people watching the Austrian Bowl (which not all f/s team in Austrias 1st league have).
Example: the Vikings with their 2-3k specataors and a lot of Media attention are kicked out of their stadium because the owner of the stadium (which is a soccer-team!) says that they destroy the turf. in fact this soccer team plays in front of 500-800 people and has always been very jelous about the "mismatch"...... And Viennese soccer-minded politicians support this. And this is just one example.
And if you say that it is good taht f/s might become bigger due this tournament than what you basically say is that you like to see american football beeing locked away from media-attention and sponsorship-money and beeing surpressed(?) even more.
For every real american football fan in austria who is not "just" a sportsfan but who knows what terrible things go on
behind the scene there is one thing for sure:
Football/Soccer is the enemy.That is a fact.
