Haha. I screwed up the original post. I'm already down one point.

Football? You mean soccer, right? We all know what football is.

Of course we all know what football is. It is the art of moving a ball from one end of the pitch to another using the FOOT. It says so in the title. Of course the Sceptic Tanks move it with their hands and call it football. That's much the same as running a marathon and calling it swimming.

And the Aussies have no excuse for getting the name wrong. It's just one of the sports we taught them while running around inside the perimeter fence we now call the coast of Australia. It's just we had so good teachers,they wop us at them all now

So you want an Aussi to have a bite at this hey lampard10?

Well it aint gonna be me!

FYI, in Australia all kinds of football are played... soccer, rugby, and of course Australian Rules Football... the greatest game on earth!

Remember that Cold Winter's night at Upton Park Lamps when the Ozzies stuffed us at our own game.?

seems to me that we invent most of the games played internationally and are normally the worst at them

But bring on the World Cup next year we'll show em

Have I heard that somewhere before?

Aughie, American "Football" is just "Rugby" with hard hats, big shoulders and tight pants

You only called it Football as you could'nt think of a better word to describe something that hardly involves the feet

Did you know the British also invented Ice Hockey,played on the frozen wastes of the Hudson River.

In american football there are 18 coaches on one team. It's a complicated game.

But playing a game like kick the can on such a large grassy field...seems like a lot of wasted space.

The Aussies kick ass in swimming too. That torpedo guy.

You guys must be getting old since the descriptions are all off. To help you old buggers out I've enclosed in this post a picture of a real footy player.

He's almost constantly in motion up and down a field almost three times longer than a rugby, american, or canadian football field.

I think that you might find that American Football had origins from English rugby.Hate to admit it ,but a pommie soapy dodger started the game of rugby

[aughie]

This guy understands the fundamentals and knows how to position himself on the field of play.

But not English football eh, where the game requires so MUCH MORE SKILL.

Lets face it you Ozzies only use the game as an excuse for a good punch up and the chance to get really pi##ed after the game- and have another punch up

Why not forget the football, (as you call it) go straight to the pub, get pi##ed and have a puch up- seems perfectly sensible to me

Look at the skillful way he keeps control of the ball with his feet You can't call that football

The Americans have to wear all that protection cos they're not tough enough to play without... unlike Rugby players...

Australian Rules FOOTBALL is the only game written about here in this thread that you can only score a goal by KICKING the ball.

English football allows all parts of the body, even the hand as Maradona showed us all.

Carn the Tigers!!!!

Is it true soccer players fall down and pretend to be hurt so the other team gets penalized?

[cdnvic]

As much as I prefer rugby to Canadian or American football, if you hit each other as hard in rugby as you did in either of the other two games without pads, you would need about 120 players to finish a game.

You know....the team that is going to wipe the Blues off the face of the Earth on Saturday.

The same team that will do the same thing to Collingwood the week after.

You know? Don't you?

Maybe after Saturday you will know "who".

English football is a cracking game. Of course we need to roll around on the floor clutching our shin, head, etc ... it's the beauty of the game!
