Kings of Lyon – ALFA Lions

After 10+ years of footy in Europe being dominated by Ireland, the UK and Denmark, it's really exciting to see so many new clubs in countries like France and Germany, and the strength of Croatia. There really is a solid amateur presence across most of Europe now. It's nice to dream that maybe in another 10 years there will be 15 or so clubs in both France and Germany.

Years ago i thought germany was the key to Europe and that AR should appeal to the French flair. It's good to see this happening, though i don't fully understand why Germany hasn't made it to the IC whereas similar leagues have. I'll have a little punt and suggest Italy might be the next.

Germany theoretically probably could have attended a few ICs now, but the league chose not to spend resources on the expensive trip to Australia.

The next most likely though, would be Croatia. Italy still has not played a single match at 16 or 18-a-side level, whereas Croatia have a few EC campaigns behind them, and a good record at the Euro Cup.

Just realised my comment seemed to imply attending the IC. No. I was crystal balling and thinking Italy might be next to come from nowhere so to speak. Croatia is playing strongly and immigrants to Australia where a feature of the WAFL just like Italiian and Greek immigrants featured in the VFL. Australian Football seems to be assisted by the presence of RU (or other contact sports)to a small degree. So I wouldn't expect a change in Greek circumstances for example..
