Zlatan Ibrahimović calls American fans the softest fans he ever played for because they didn’t care about losing until the playoffs "Most of my career I played in Italy, France, Spain, England, then I came over to US. I think US had the softest fans" "when we were losing games, they were like don't worry, we just need to reach the playoffs. and I'm like what do you mean don't worry? in my world I am worried" "if you think about my contract, I get paid now. I don't get paid when the playoff starts"

The 19th AFL team. the Tasmanian Devils, has just been confirmed with a $150M+ funding deal locked in. Massive news for footy in Tassie… but it raises a serious question: How is it that the A-League, or even individual A-League clubs, can’t secure anything close to that level of investment? Our game brings in huge participation numbers, develops world-class talent, and represents Australia globally, yet we’re still fighting for basic funding while other codes get blank cheques. It’s honestly embarrassing from the Australian Government. Football in this country deserves proper support, not scraps. ⚽🇦🇺
