Steve Waugh speaks:

Steve Waugh says Socceroos can be the number one team in Australia



Saw Steve Waugh on the Aussie bench for the recent game against Singapore. Why didn't they bring him on!



Great move by Graham Arnold to get Waugh involved.



No I'm not a big cricket fan but Steve reckons the cricket team is the number one team in Australia in terms of support and affection. But it could soon become the Socceroos, especially if we win in Asia.

Wallabies and Kangaroos and AFL international sides are already way behind the Socceroos according to Steve.

Socceroos and cricket as number one teams, seems a good natural balance to me

Now let's get the footy on FTA and see the sport go through the roof..watch the bidding wars begin.

Viewing figures of Socceroos tournaments would easily out rate League internationals, Wallabies games and even State of Origin across the country.

Our TV deal doesn't currently reflect the interest.

Time to renegotiate.

Take the A-League, Olyroos, Matildas and Asian Chamipions League away from the Socceroos

Two packages are required and Senator Coonan needs to listen to Steve Waugh

The two biggest national teams should be on FTA.

Wake up Australia, or get voted out :)

I sent an e-mail to Senator Stephen Conroy about this issue he is the Labour communications minister but heard nothing.

it seems besides the fans, who are the ones that are missing out, that the people who can make a change or make a noise don't see to care or don't make a loud enough noise about this issue.

Football fans in this country are getting screwed by the media or the government constantly.
