It has become a strong trend in this office on Monday mornings in summer.With little or no AFL news - although those days are fewer as the league commands the spotlight with or without a ball being kicked - sports tragics need something else to talk about after the weekend.
In recent years the sports topic du jour during this period has been the English Premier League.
Today was no different.
As soon as a couple of features writers had been scanned through security, they were talking about David Silva's winning goal for Manchester City over Arsenal. Or they were discussing another touch of skill by Wayne Rooney.
And that is a problem for Australian soccer.
