Geez, enough already!!

This is Melbourne - THE sports capital of Australia and we LOVE football - any code, any country we don't give a rats so long as you can go to the game, watch it live and scream, shout or sing to your hearts content....and have a punt as well!

When we went to the olympic soccer games at the MCG, none of us had any idea of the rules whatsoever but there would have been 90000 people (again, most of whom had no idea of the technicalities of the rules) watching Cameroon play Chile and we had an absolute ball! Nobody cared who won, except if you backed Chile, but we loved the spectacle.

I can understand the offence some of you might have taken at some of those other comments but rest assured us Melbournians are very open minded when it comes to sport and if your kids are gun soccer players then Melbourne would love to have them and we are the best city for them!

After all, Harry Kewell can't last forever so we need some new 'aussies' to take up the mantle.

By the way, the team to follow when you're here is the Western Bulldogs - young team, on the up and well worth the trouble!
