While AFL boss Andrew Demetriou has used the media to turn the Australian public against the historic bid, football fans must now make their voice heard in any way they can.

As Australia's independent voice of the people who matter, the fans, we are FourFourTwo are making another plea to make sure our readers are doing everything they can to ensure we land the World Cup.

When 2010 World Cup in South Africa kicks next year, you don't want to be sitting at home wishing you'd more to support our bid ahead of FIFA decision at the end of next year.

So here is another recap of what you can do?

Registering your support at FFA's official World Cup bid website is a bare minimum. It is a quick, easy process that will take up very little of your time. So far 46,702 people have pleaded their support, that's not even half of the number of people who visit this website every month. There is also a FourFourTwo group to join.

Register, then forward on details to at least five people getting them to the same. It doesn't have to stop there either as sending an email or letter to the government and your state premier stressing your support and reasons will aid the bid.

It is also vital all mainstream media outlets are aware of your support, so whenever you get the chance to show them your support, do it.
