Socceroos vs Japan: Australia's greatest sporting moment of all-time
I am writing from Munich, was in Kaiserslautern at the Japan match. Let me tell you all that winning on Monday was bigger than winning ten cricket, rugby and League world cups put together. People in the street say 'Australia!' when you walk past them wearing an oz shirt, the other...- Words: 93

This whole who is called 'football' arguement...
Of course I've read it, the whole silly (Victorian) thing!! There's your explanation. Why was he using 'soccer'? Because he was in AUSTRALIA. He knows thats the tradition here, and he's well educated, so he was obviously trying to be 'locally accurate'. You'll find most Germans are the...- Words: 88

This whole who is called 'football' arguement...

Aussie Rules is "Football" in Australia
Exactly. Which is why it is an over-reaction to get worried about Association Football officially changing to its proper name. Don't you get it? It isn't supposed to make people on the street change their language. Many people will always call it 'soccer' in their home or workplace. Its...- Words: 150

ermmmm... you sure about that?? All the people I know, including myself, friends, family etc who love the idea of calling all sports by their real name (including Association Football) are all at least 3rd or 4th generation Aussies.

Its Crisis Time Almost for the A League
