As much as I don't agree with bosnich doing his nut in the sheds and moaning about the ref - there were some very favourable calls for the galaxy when they committed fouls.

I think Richardson was more commenting on how most of the people that went were there to see beckham not the actual game, from what I recall he clarified his point a little a went on to discuss how future matches need more than just one "star" attraction, as soccer itself isnt really a crowd puller - and he's right, nix v galaxy - full house why, bex plus football appeal, nix v oceania = fail, just becks.

Richardson is a twat.

I was listening on the radio driving to work and he kept referring to it as Soccer. Someone obvious got pissed off and emiled or text them telling them it was Football and he just went on this rant about how in his world, its called 'soccer' because rugby is 'football' Kento Johns pointed out that the national body was called New Zealand Football and Richardson basically said 'well they are wrong for calling themselves that then'

I was speaking to someone in the Media at the weekend who confirmed what most of us think. Richardson is an arrogant twat.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
