Are we talking about real FOOTBALL, or the American version?

We must be talking about AFL footy because that is the only version worth talking about and as many girls like it as guys, so that would explain cool girls question.

Gays! Of course i'm talking about REAL FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
AFL is brutal and not interesting. I'm fond of Chempions Leage and World Championships!!!!1

Them there aere fighting words. I am thinking your ignorance is enough of an excuse though. It is fast and skillfull. Much more exciting then your gay sport

Phillip!
I didn't want to say bad things about your favourite sport game. But your football is
not as beautiful as european one is! Your players beat each other and there is no game at all!

I appologise for using the word gay - I think you meant guy.

Your allowed your own oppinions - I don't care. I have tried to like soccor myself and it's just OK. (I enjoyed the world cup)

I think your wrong about our sport. They don't beat each other. It is very physical, thats all. However, if you only ever seen the Grand Final (as I suspect) I can imagine how you'd form that oppinion. They usually have a an all-in-brawl at some time - we even look forward to it

Of course you know that it is winning that counts and there are a lot of rules (which are difficult to understand) that make it a fast, physical and skillfull game.

The main idea about the game is to encourage competition between pairs of players. They follow their man and depending on their role it can be exciting to see wins out, in a duel. This often leads to fights, but remember that you have athletes of all different shapes and sizes - depending on their role - so there is a lot to watch.

That is why per/capita more people watch this sport then any other sport!! My team came last in the ladder last year yet we had more people per match then Manchester United.

So please try to agree with me that it is a good sport

Cheers, and enjoy the US
