April 29, 200520 yr Author Haha. I screwed up the original post. I'm already down one point. Football? You mean soccer, right? We all know what football is.
April 30, 200520 yr 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

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

April 30, 200520 yr 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
April 30, 200520 yr seems to me that we invent most of the games played internationally and are normally the worst at them <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you know the British also invented Ice Hockey,played on the frozen wastes of the Hudson River.
April 30, 200520 yr Author 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.
April 30, 200520 yr 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. cv

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

April 30, 200520 yr 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!!!!

Someone like Jonathon Brown or Matthew Richardson!!!!

We don't have to go to the pub for a punch up. Ask any Newcastle United supporter

May 1, 200520 yr 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. cv

May 3, 200520 yr 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!
