well its not much of a secret now is it?
also you must not know any aussies because we also have our own country's version of football
american football is gridiron
aussie football is...Australian rules football
european football is soccer
and because soccer has been around a lot longer than panzy armour wearing gridiron and is a WORLDWIDE sport. it has the honour of being called football worldwide.
im not a fan of soccer but i do understand the rules to a degree, and when your country/team is playing, it can be very good to watch.
my point is. check history before you start claiming your young sport is better than a thousand or so year old one.
