We wanted to win this competition because we are huge soccer fans and because we knew that there are a few things that haven't been done, like the use of light and the use of color,

That's why national competition is good. When you have the NCAA soccer competition, the best teams all qualify and then you bracket it out. In football, it comes down to the polls. There's value in won-lost records, but there can be misleading information in that too, if you look at it and call it the end all.

It's always nice to see fans passionate and getting behind shows. But at the same time, these are characters and trademarks that belong to someone else. So it's not exactly all kosher.

It's an absolute shame. These soccer-knowledgeable fans are hard to come by. It doesn't make sense that a viable, historical team will be moved to a different location.

The club is great, the fans are fantastic and it is just wonderful to be part of a competition that has taken off. Australian soccer has been waiting a long time for something so good.

It's not just soccer. There's basketball and volleyball. Everything is going on. It's a competition. The Olympic Games should be seen in a wider sense.
