Brisbane and Adelaide are set to host matches against Liverpool FC this year, with Tourism and Transport Forum ceo Margy Osmond saying last time Australia hosted the football team in 2013, an estimated $35m in economic benefit was generated for the host state, Victoria.
Major events like the exhibition matches were “enormously important” to the domestic tourism industry, Osmond said.
If you’re planning some events to complement the matches, and need to bone up on your football terms, the notoriously confusing offside rule is admirably explained, using condiments, in ‘Bend It Like Beckham’.
Just remember, the offside rule is when the French mustard has to be between the teriyaki sauce and the sea salt.
