Need a different 'keeper though. Just pick Schwarzer. If the Aussies can be in Eurovision then they can be in the Euro Champs as well. That confused the hell out of me...just as much as Israel being in Eurovision. Link to post Share on other sites

FWIW it's the same reason Israel is in UEFA too, because they politically don't have anywhere else to go. Australia is in Eurovision because they're the biggest market outside Europe & they joined for one celebration year, did really well & then got put in permanently. Link to post Share on other sites

So what if Israel doesn't have anywhere else to go? Why do they need to be included in a bloody song contest? Australia doesn't even have that excuse. Why not start up a Southern Hemisphere song contest? If you're going to start doing that, its not Eurovision anymore...its basically anyone who fancies a go. Link to post Share on other sites

It's not a political thing (although we all know why the UK hasn't won in decades, and it's not necessarily because the songs are bad!) Is anyone honestly surprised that Australia loves Eurovision? They were the obvious guest country and I'm glad they're a permanent fixture. As long as we don't ever invite the Yanks to participate. Link to post Share on other sites

I for one am looking forward to the All American Eurostars Universal Vocal Championships and I will be supporting my favourite franchise The United Kingdom of States. It sure does confuse me that only part of the Irish franchise is being represented. They're my backup option as I'm Irish - my great, great Granddad once ate a bag of Taytos so I have heritage. Rule Brittania y'all! Link to post Share on other sites
