Very interesting video, think NZ has the same problem but not nearly as bad as Australia has it. Our problem seems to be more that it's seen as a nothing sport and everything is Rugby as that's our National Game.

I'm an optimistic pessimist. 
I'm positive things will go wrong.

I think that media in NZ give the sport some coverage, just that it is very much focussed on the EPL (especially TV) and little time on the HAL (compare that with NRL) and even less time on ASB Prem.

Which is a shame, because why not encourage local football? I don't mind seeing EPL on tv, but would love more on local story as well.
