Soccer Apps Providing Great Info And Fun For The Football Fan

Australia is a sports-mad nation which sees mass participation in a wide range of increasing disciplines. Many clubs now have many teams to promote junior development so that they can one day go on to thrill the crowds inside the big stadiums and arenas. Because not only are those playing each weekend, but thousands also turn up to spectate and cheer on their favourites.

The traditional sporting institutions playing AFL continue to attract huge crowds, while those in the east draw on their traditional heartlands for support of both codes of rugby. Then of course there is cricket in which the baggy green cap is still worshipped, with many other sports imported from elsewhere seeing growing numbers attend. Among those is association football or soccer, as Aussies are more likely to refer to it. For those looking to stay in touch, here are some apps that might prove useful.

  • Soccer fans go to matches to support their team and to also have fun. All kinds of humorous situations have developed from the stands, which are mimicked by those attending games down under. There has even been a situation where a player on an opposing side who is not particularly liked by home support has had a dildo handed over to him. Talk about giving out stiff barracking!
  • The A-League has developed massively since its formation in 2004 for the men’s competition and since 2008 for the women. Crowds are as passionate as anywhere in the world and to keep them in touch what better way than to download the A Leagues app. All the news from different clubs, fixtures, scores as the happen, videos and obtaining tickets are all available for the aficionado who wants to be kept up to speed and be ahead of other fans scrambling for news.

  • Those who favor something more international are in for a treat with the next two apps. First is Soccerway, which covers several divisions in every country that plays the game. It is generally reliable for venues and kick-off times to be able to plan trips well in advance. It also has a fantastic player database, so the records of potential signings can be checked out. Some supporters might be inspired to start a video podcast.
  • Flashscore is of a similar concept, only it has the fantastic feature of having reliable scores which are live for most games that it covers, as well as showing the league standings at that exact time. Ideal for nail-biting moments during a season. Plus, video highlights of many matches are available after games.
  • Futbology is very much a niche app for those who want to find nearby fixtures and check in to keep a record of all the games that they attend, with the database allowing them to add previous visits. Maybe, it might include a visit to a national museum at full time.

Football fans can enjoy themselves and their experiences even downloading the right apps while having fun when they get home as well.
