What a strange place this is ...
There seems to be a real economy of language in Australia, any sport involving a ball is called 'footy' even if your foot isnt the primary object for controlling the ball, much as in the same way anything here made from potato is called a 'chip'. Its the only place in the world i have been (and i am VERY well travelled) where the term "yeah, nahhh" is a legitimate sentence !!
I am with Ron on this, Soccer (as i refuse to call it, along with the other 6.5 billion people on the planet) is the only true football, where you control the ball with your foot, none of this running around in tight hotpants and vest shouting "chase me! chase me!"
