Hi Ed002, if you are around, I remember you saying a while back that Australia was robbed of the World Cup. I was wondering if you could extrapolate on the reasons why?
Speaking as an Australian the World Cup in Australia would have been amazing, we know how to have fun and can host decent tournaments (Sydney 2000) but most of all it would have given a massive rise to the popularity of the sport within the country. It's been growing each world cup but if we actually hosted one it could do a lot to dispel the myths about football that exist within Australia and boost its popularity amongst the younger generations.
Sorry for the lack of relation to Liverpool,
Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - The reasons why were simple - they wanted it moved to the January/Februry window. They have a potential legal claim and I would suspect a future application would be looked on sympathetically to avoid any grief. The claim, to be honest, could be fixed if FIFA hadn't sold certain rights to Fox so far in advance. A good question Reshi.}
