Australian football is polarized into old soccer new football camps
There isn't often a lot of nuance in these camps. The socceroos aren't producing Harry kewell type players because of the a league. The national curriculum is to blame for not winning games at the 2014 World Cup. Proactive football is unaustralian
Like it or not proactive football, the Ntc, the a league and the upcoming Roos are all part of a cultural monolith that a large part of the football community treat like it's an enemy. Being against one of these usually means being against all of them.
This all makes me wonder if we win the asian cup on home soil in front of tens of thousands playing proactive football with a lot of young players what the effect of that will be.
Will the cause some to come round and comply with the Ntc? Attend a league games? Not get upset with a coach that temporarily goes backwards to play a superior style?

I'm pretty sure it was the same immediately after the Uruguay match. I honestly don't think Socceroos success has any effect on A-League crowds.
