    And here in Oz, the Crows and Port Power (AFL) both won their games this weekend, so every AFL follower in Adelaide is pretty happy!! On top of this Adelaide United (soccer) won the grand final, so the Adelaide soccer fans are ecstatic too!

    Karl,

    I think that they are talking about an obscure game that we call soccer.

    The teams run around a field, kicking a ball about half way between the size of a soft ball and a basketball.

    After the game, the fans of the losing team riot in the streets.

    Hi Karl

    Sorry about that:

    AFL = Australian Rules Football
    Soccer = what the Europeans call football

    A healthy debate on how our glorious island brought three of the greatest sporting games to the world. Only some of which decided they could improve on perfection. I do of course speak of cricket, rugby union (not league) and football.

    Weird how the Australian website for the governing "soccer" body is www.footballaustralia.com.au/

    Soccer is only in the US. Everywhere else it is Football. It is the first football invented out of all the "footballs" and the only football that exclusively uses the feet to kick the ball therefore earns the right to be called football above all other sports.

    Apologies but Rugby Football was probably the first to coin this term not socc...I mean football with a round ball.

    Football is Football. It's the sport where you use your foot to kick the round ball. Germany are World Football Champions, Leicester are English football Champions etc etc etc

    Trust me I love Rugby Union, I'm from the land of the All Blacks.

    But let's get real, all these other "footballs" are played out almost entirely using your hands. It doesn't make sense.

    In fact funnily enough, NZ's largest newspaper ran a week long poll on their website on whether it should be called Football or Soccer.

    Thank goodness logic and reason prevailed. Football won by a landslide.

    Maybe Rafa can orchestrate a Leicester-esque escape. But then again it is Benitez so he will more than likely leave the club in worse situation than where he found it. He is scum. Ruined my beloved club Inter Milan in less than a season.

    I hate Football, they run around for ages doing stuff and you have to concentrate. At least with American Football they run around for 10-15 seconds, then have a break to rest and discuss what to do next. Gives me time to make a cup of tea, eat a three course meal or finish that novel I'm working on.



    *Sarcasm, I hate both of them. Whomever said about engines above has it about right. Give me the Red Bull Air Races or strange Icelandic people trying to drive stripped down jeeps up walls.

    It's the most popular sport on the planet, it must be doing something right. Or maybe most of us are all idiots with attention spans that are far too long.

    I tried it once -- it started on a high, but went down rapidly....

    It was like my experience with Toboggan-Duelling -- started well, but went downhill rapidly.

    That's an immense result for the barcodes - I'm certain he's got better offers on the table; admirable loyalty sticking around for what's going to be a rough ride.

    My finest hour playing football / soccer was in the First Year at senior school when I was aged 11. Came home from school with a report from the games teacher which simply said Doesn't seem to understand the game.

    The simple explanation was that the playing fields were directly under one of the arrival paths into Birmingham International Airport and games lessons for us coincided with the Wardair Canada flight's arrival into there from Toronto ...

    EPIC FAIL!
