Surely if the point he's making is valid (which IMO it is), it doesn't matter that he's not the biggest fan of soccer? Preferring another sport isn't inconsistent with being disappointed at the snub.

Agree with the first part.
Plus with the Cricket WC im pretty sure AO was unable to be used.
Soccer craps all over Aussie rules as a sport though

continue to put the sport down, and then have a cry when it doesn't come to your area or city ? um ok then

Again, they're not inconsistent. He prefers Aussie Rules, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't have a point about the Asian Cup. You don't need to love soccer to see that it's unfair that Adelaide misses out.

It's not as if he's comparing the merits of the 4-3-3 with the 4-2-3-1.

He plays soccer so he can't hate it that much

well he needs to speak with the current SA government then, instead of crying over it !

Can't remember Cornes ever hating soccer

Crying over it? F*** me, he has a weekly opinion column and he's devoted it to the Asian Cup this week. Crying doesn't come into it. I'd say writing a column in the paper is as good a way of lobbying the govt as any.

He doesnt hate it but he finds something to dislike about it quite often.

Well I preferred to play Soccer (as Goalie where I didn't need to be able to dribble the ball).
Bores me to tears as a game to watch though...

Used to listen every day

If anything he probably thought his experience in the over 35s meant he could comment more than he probably could but he never hated it. Always said he liked afl more though.

I thought he played it for quite awhile in the Parklands.

Used to talk about it all the time

Used to play for Parafield Gardens over 35's

he hates the diving and the theatrics of it. Much like the goal umpires do today.
