Football is the biggest sport in the world
Cricket is played by eight third-world countries with zero sporting prowess - and Australia (and England, I guess)
No country can fully reject the influence of football. Everyone wants to shine at the World Cup. Even if other sports dominate more in day-to-day business, football shines the brightest when it matters the most since it is the world's game, and everyone knows that
Admittedly, I also imagine it to be the case because cricket is a bit of a niche upper-class thing, no? I think it is very cultured, but I don't see it structurally moving masses like football. I might be wrong, though. Not that I know much about it

Cricket is gay

>>155288793
What did India play before getting colonized?

These watch parties at Fed Square are just third generation wogs who have never fit in with the elite sports of Australia in rugby and cricket. They never watch or care about soccer outside of the EPL for the next four years. They go down there to cause trouble to the point the government has banned these watch parties before a last minute change of heart due to wogs and low iq browns causing trouble. Soccer is the 6th most popular sport in this great nation. Also Indians are born losers, we know we can destroy them in every cricket World Cup until the end of time.

Imagine if Australians cared about cricket.

>>155288793
no one in australia cares about t20
ODI and test wc sure, but we are the goat country at cricket so its just expected

>>155288793
funny thing is, the AFL(sporting body for the countrys second most popular sport) tried to stop this gathering from happening because they were so threatened by soccer

hello saar

Australia has been the best at cricket for 150 years. Wogs have an inferiority complex comparable to jeets and will start throwing flares when we qualify for a world cup

wogs actually believe this btw

>>155289589
It wasn’t the low class wogs and browns always causing problems? I mean it’s not as bad as the niggers in New York after the Knick’s but

Is there really anybody who really cares about cricket other than Indians?

>>155290364
indians dont even care about cricket, they all only like t20

>Indians mad that people celebrate winning at the biggest event in the world more than beating India at something else
How delusional are they?

cricket is a far superior sport to divegrass, i say this not just as a white australian but a wog (my grandfather is italian).

>>155291202
I will forever love this picture for all the subcontinent seethe it generated

>>155288793
none of these wogs are aussie, cricket is a far more australian sport than wogball

>>155288793
Only jets and uncs watch cricket, maybe cricket breaks into the collective consciousness on Boxing Day? Other than that i dont think Australia is still a cricket nation, tennis is a bigger summer sport

Is it really that big? How come you aren't producing top players like crazy? Or is it a recent thing? You've got De Minaur, but he's kind of a hack

>>155292169
By what metric exactly? Champ.

>>155292410
he's lying to you bro

>>155292410
he means it as a cazzie activity. lot of cazzies swing a racket but 0.1% of them actually watch tennis outside of the AO

>>155288793
I thought Australians were all crazy for AFL or something
Then some regions like rugby as well
Then almost everyone likes cricket as far as the big events are concerned, but it's not something everyone goes crazy over simply because of what kind of game it is already, so it is less visible than one might think
And then I thought football/soccer is relatively big among non-Anglos and urban hipsters. Big enough to be a factor, but still kind of a joke, especially domestic football
And as for non-team sports, everyone likes swimming and tennis

That was my image of Australian sports as a totally clueless guy

Cricket is the sport for intellectuals, while football is for the lower castes.
Guess which one Australia is (hint: it's a prison colony).

Aussies are pretty good at sports for such a small population. They dropped in rugby but still competitive , best at cricket , very good at mma(in fact better then us now after tuf) like they got a ranked fighter in almost every division .
They are top 10 at the Olympics even though it’s mostly swimming

They have a good sporting culture

No cricket crosses all classes in India, every dirt poor street kid plays it whenever they can.

Same in Australia, all classes play it, there's no class distinction at all.

>>155293999
Kinda . But wealth and cost of living we are the same . Vancouver , Toronto are expensive like Sydney and Melbourne.
Tropical heat can be hard to work out in. Like gsp did beat bj Penn.

Convicts are degenerates, Canada has frontier man strength
But pissed that they are better then us in mma now despite the early start and dominating tug Canada vs Australia

>>155292790
you are actually mostly right except i couldn't give a fuck about tennis or swimming
people also don't like cricket as much because there's no big personalities like warnie anymore but most people watch the ashes and aus v india

>>155288793
Cricket is the only thing shitjeets are good at, so they desperately want the rest of the world to care about it as much as they do, for soft power reasons. The sport is kinda dying in many other parts of the world, including here in England, which is obviously something which alarms them.

>>155294554
Thank you
So cricket is losing ground a bit? How is the power balance developing?

>>155292790
Everything you said is basically true, AFL and Rugby League are the two main sports and they're divided by region in popularity.

Cricket is popular with everyone when Australia is playing but not domestically.

Soccer is popular with post war southern european immigrants and to much lesser extent hipster anglos.

And yeah tennis and swimming are popular when the Australian open is on or the olympics.

>>155292904
Strange that Australia thrashes the rest of the world in cricket then.

People like the traditional 5 day cricket. They don't give a shit about the shorter forms, the shortest form was made specifically to tap into the billion jeet market on their phones and people here don't even know when the world cup for it is on

>>155295151
here's the truth about Australian sports
>we actually DO care about soccer, in fact it's our most played sport by a wide margin
>the whole "soccer isn't popular" thing comes from the low popularity of our domestic league, most soccer fans follow European leagues (typically the EPL)
>AFL is going strong but it's a Victorian containment sport, no one in NSW cares about it
>League is dying at a grassroots level because it has been overtaken by massive islander kids and parents aren't letting their kids play it anymore (a good thing)
>Union is a private school boy thing exclusively
>Cricket is a meme sport that is almost never played by white people outside of school
>General track/athletics/swimming/cycling is extremely popular among people not into team sports

>>155289009
>Cricket is played by eight third-world countries with zero sporting prowess - and Australia (and England, I guess)
It's pretty big in the Carribbean who also do quite well in athletics.

>>155295151
cricket is still popular and shit like the ashes sells out in minutes even at the mcg but the sport is slowly dying in general in the western world because of it not being FTA at all in englul, india is destroying the big bash league in aus which was an attempt at getting zoomers interested in cricket, and i think a lot of zoomers just think its boring unc shit or something. i really enjoy cricket even though im technically a zoomer though (and im not indian)
top 3 sports in australia are afl far above all, tennis, and nrl. according to a recent poll wogball is on par with nrlel but no-one watches the domestic league. aussies also generally get around their team no matter what, i know a lot of people who barely give a shit about soccer tuning into the aus matches. im the exception, i hate wogball

>>155295572
it's the most played sport because it's played by children who's parents are afraid of them getting hurt in a real sport and likewise for officecucks. no-one actually gives a fuck about soccer and you are just a seething insecure wog

>>155295572
more wog cope about soccer participation stats because it's the only sport scared mums get their kids to play because the other sports are too physical

>>155295151
its being splintered by retards who see the commercial success of T20 among wider audiences with zero foresight about how the game cant survive with just t20.
t20 is also inherently less interesting. far too short and random for any result to mean anything and has no dramatic storylines.
it really serves as a contrast to the longer formats, so getting rid of the longer formats for it to take priority makes it a pointless event.

>>155295620
nrl beats afl in viewership consistently these days though?

>>155295769

get you riled up

>>155295951
They also didn't mention that it's more gender balanced than other big sports which also helps to inflate the numbers.
It's got lots of kids playing it for Saturday sport but only a fraction of that number take soccer seriously and care about the professional leagues at all.

>>155295927
no it doesn't actually and it is completely demolished by attendance, which is more essential to keeping a sport alive. one bum on a seat in a stadium is worth more than thousands of tv viewers and generates more income. keep seething about it though insecure little nrlsperg

>>155295951
you are the one getting defensive about no-one caring about wogball stavros

Is this wog hate thing just a meme? Banter? You guys sound very hostile towards each other. Surely it isn't representative of the country and just a 4chan thing

Interesting, thanks. Sounds like a rather slow decline, though. Who fills the gap?
>>155295308
Ah, I didn't know AFL was also contained to a region. I thought it was the national unifier together with international cricket, albeit lacking the pull-factor of international competition. Is it growing in the rest of the country at least?

>>155296746
when 90% of the afl teams play in the same state its much easier to attend "away" games
im not going to brisbane or auckland to watch my team
and yes it does mog you in viewership. a womens game of nrl had more viewers than your sport LMAO

>>155296746
it's always the AFL poofs and boongs that get mad at soccer kek

Cricket is possibly the most retarded sport to be as popular as it is. The rules don't make sense, it's fucking boring to watch and there's no such thing as a cool cricket player.

>>155296765
>Who fills the gap?
for me, im watching mlb since its the closest alternative.
in reality, nothing will take the place of cricket because theres no other summer sport worth watching - people probably will just watch more netflix

>>155296765
Everyone hates wogs bud. Are you actually german or a turk?

>>155296348
>changing from "soccer is the most played sport in Australia by a wide margin" to "soccer is popular in Australia"
ironic that you're moving the goalposts in a soccer thread

>>155296765
i mean afl is somewhat regional but it was played countrywide until nrl started and even now i would argue it is more successful at expanding across state borders. afl is more popular in wa, sa, vic, and tas, nrl is only really popular in nsw and qld. however afl has better pathways for juniors in non-afl states which is why melbourne storm has no victorian players but brisbane lions and gold coast suns are about half queenslanders, as an example

>>155295422

>>155297104
I'd take 20 wogs (I admittedly had to look up what it means) over 1 Turk, though I'm sure genuine Turks are more chill than the perverted freaks we got. I thought you had other ethnic groups to hate first, if any

The two regions are roughly a 50/50 split on the population

Wog hate is mostly banter, given wogs have been around for 70 ish years at this point and have assimilated enough to be involved.
t. Wog.

Jeet and chink hate is 100% legitimate

>>155296746
>is completely demolished by attendance, which is more essential to keeping a sport alive.
theres no way afl poofs are this delusional

>>155297662
This I like saying wog on 4chan and being dismissive of wogs even though I don't care in real life.

It's just an inherently funny word. Actually hating someone like Jacob Italiano or Milos Degenek when you have infinite pajeets is nonsensical.

??? and that affects viewership how?

>>155299161
didnt say anything about it affecting viewership you dense coconut, i said its better to have higher attendance because it generates more money.

whenever you see someone seething about soccer it is ALWAYS an AFL poof
NRLchads don't seem to care at all

>>155299677
you literally did? >>155296746 But your latest post is also wrong so it doesn't even matter.

>>155299677
Soccer isn't the most popular sport in the world because of "attendance", its because it has the most eyeballs glued to the screen. The viewership gap between the NRL + Soccer and the AFL will continue to grow bigger over the next few years, and continue to have the bigger reach. So yeah, you can keep the little attendance stat win for your giant plastic Victorian stadiums if it helps you cope.

>>155294384
