yeah i hope frank realises the power of the fifa game. i picture a new national league called "the australian premier league." already the league would have more interest with this new name, capitalising on the popularity of the english premier league. we need a whole new outlook - and if we can get quality players from division 2s and so forth back here and get our premier league in fifa, it would be great. hopefully in fifa 2006 maybe we'll see it but probably it would be fifa 2007.

the main aim is to increase the players wages to that of english division 2 and italian serie C and lower quality euro nations top division levels club wages and the like. and the only way to do that is to get crowds in. it is gonna be hard to get off the ground, but once it is the crowd will keep the players coming in and the players will keep the crowd coming in - that sorta cycle thing. i hope it happens. i can't wait.

BTW, south melbourne 4 - wollongong 0!!!!! nice brace coveny! the champ!

nsl on fifa?? in our dreams. nsl on tv? that too, unless sbs comes to the rescue

Yeah let's be careful not to let that happen

Yeah id prefer to see the NSL match of the week on SBS (the world game) instead of some Japanese u17 league match....Les Murray is always rambling on about "how soccer australia is going no were", so why cant they show more then the highlights during a 6 hour show?

where is archie Thompson playing?. What league and team?

I started getting into soccer by FIFA 2001 my friend who plays soccer had the game and the first time I played I picked Arsenal because they were rated so good. I would always score like 5 goals with Henry and so get got me inot wondering who he was and how good he actually was. Now he's my favorite player and Arsenal is my favoreite team and I watch all the games I can. Its weird if it wasnt for FIFA 2001 I would have never got into soccer and would have been Like most Americans I wouldnt give Soccer a chance. But now I must say I love it.
