An article in the Australian today says that Sydney has won the bid to play David Beckham and Co. (aka. the LA Galaxy). The game’s set to be played at Telstra Stadium on November 27.
Sucks for Melbourne, who had been contending that we should get the game. No doubt we would have been able to pack the Telstra Dome for a game like that. But Sydney has won it.
Even more infuriating than that, though, is what Sydneysiders had to say about it all. George Perry, the CEO of Sydney FC, said:
“Where else would you play the game but in the best city in the world and against the best club in the country?”
Or check this out from NSW Premier Morris Lemma:
“Sydney is now the undisputed home of football in Australia and the fans have responded magnificently in recent times.”
Undisputed home of football? Best club in the country? What enormous boulder have these blokes been hiding under?

Yeah, too true. I could take or leave the game, but those comments are total and utter nonsense. Let’s put them in their place (again) this year. That Morris Iemma dude is a total prat btw, it’s not the first time he’s uttered such uneducated drivel.

I know, I don’t mind so much about not having the game here - though it would be another great chance for football in Melbourne to take the limelight. But for Sydney to come out with statements like that… Defies reason
