jblive Posted August 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Does anyone know if the AFL Grand Final will be televised by Celebrity in the Mediterranean? The AFL Grand Final will be televised on Fox Sport 2 or Fox Soccer Plus. Does Celebrity have either of these channels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonia2509 Posted August 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I would say no. You are on an American ship and your are cruising the Mediterranean. I am certain they would haven't heard of the AFL. Don't forget it is only played here in Australia and is definitely not an international game.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonia2509 Posted August 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Remember this is my opinion. It is a mix of soccer, rugby and men jumping on top of each other to catch a football It is played in some states of Australia and in Victoria it is like a religion. I have never understood the game and I am not a follower. Give me soccer anytime - just waiting for all the responses from the Victorians Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perthguy Posted August 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I asked the same question as we are on a Cruise on Solstice in Hawaii on Grand Final Day. Answer is no way of knowing until youre on the ship but you may be better off buying the AFL app and watching it on wifi if you can afford it!

Pean Posted August 28, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I think there would be a good chance of seeing it. I have seen AFL games on two Celebrity cruises. Once on a Hong Kong to Singapore cruise it was shown on the TV in the cabin. The reception was a bit scratchy though. On a Mediterranean cruise we were walking through the casino and they had a game showing in there. Wish we had known it was on earlier as only saw about the last 10 minutes.

Pushka Posted August 28, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Maybe in the Gastropub? Pretty interesting interpretation up thread and I am not a Victorian. Soccer isn't particularly popular in Australia. Edited August 28, 2015 by Pushka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA_Design Posted August 28, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The same could be said for American football. Soccer huge internationally, just not Australia although some great players have come from here. Think you are mixing up Cricket with Football. Struggling to remember one 'Great' Australian footballer , or an English one for that matter - maybe Gordon Banks at a push. Whilst currently oz cricket is as bad as us , if not slightly worse you did have some truly great players . Warne , McGrath, Ponting , Lillee to mention just a few.

Jacs Posted August 29, 2015 #19 Share Posted August 29, 2015 AFL? Forgive a Yank for asking:D Australian Football League :) our "national" sport, although it's much more popular in some states that others, as in NSW & QLD Rugby is generally more popular. Played with an oval ball, the aim is to kick the ball between 2 goal posts at one end of the field to score 6 points. If you kick it through the outside point posts, it's 1 point. The only sport in the world where they reward you for trying :P It's full contact (with no padding) and very athletic, AFL players are considered some of the fittest professional sports players in the world.

LA_Design Posted August 30, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) You used the the term ' great'. IMHO there hasnt been any Oz or Brit greats at football ( or soccer as you seem to call it) FIFA is the world body for football - no mention of 'Soccer'. AFL , NFL Rugby Union are all derivatives of Football. Edited August 30, 2015 by LA_Design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
