Here is one for you.
I live in the State of Queensland. They say it is to Australia what Texas is to America.
Our neighbor is New South Wales, has 2x (?) our population.
We all play a national game of Footy called Rugby League, and every year there is a special 3 Test Match comp between the 2 States - best described as a war really.
We call the other side Cockroaches, and they probably have a name for us.
We have won it 5 years on the trot.
We wear burgundy and gold, these mongrels panzy blue.
This year the war has been kicked off with our media posting the following picture in the news.
I thought it both clever and appropriate.
(Maybe it is an idea your State could adapt and use)
Cheers

Awesome.Is it broadcast in the US?

Not likely but there is a slim possibility, DirecTV has a rugby package where a few stations that sometimes play rugby are included so I guess you get the more often soccer programming for free....

Good luck Kiwi!!

That is just cruel.

There was a blurb on our news about your tournament and even a few people from here headed there.
