Comments, Letters and International Footy

G'day Skippy.

Over 50 nations where footy is played on a regular(premiership season style) basis, around 30 of which, the bulk of the players are nationals, not ex-pat Aussies. 15 nations that have played nine or more full International Matches(Tests) with another half dozen or so having played 3 or more International matches. 3 International Cup Series so far with the 4th and possibly the best yet to come this year. The inaugural Euopean Championships of Australian Football played in 2010 a huge success I believe, following about 5 or so years worth of EU cup 9-a-side competitions. The formation of the EAFA or AFL Europe last year despite its hiccup with the employment of the manager?

International Footy is alive and kicking!

Another nation, France about to embark on the International Test journey this month and two new nations starting up an Aussie Rules competition this year(Poland, without any ex-pat Aussies apparently, and Russia in two cities almost similtaneously about 4000 kms(4089km via the Trans Siberian Railway) apart) earlier this year.

Nations like Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Timor Leste and Tonga taking the first early steps to play the game and in some cases send players to Australia and elsewhere for international junior competitions last year and this year.

Growth of Aussie Footy across the globe continues.

Mtutuzeli Hlomela and yourself talk about the passion for the sport by the International Footy Community.

Your comments are infinitely more valuable than Mr Kennett's despite his high profile in Australia and the AFL. Let's hope a few more self minded international footy followers like Mtutuzeli address open letters to Mr Kennett to further his education on International Footy. He certainly needs it.
