Association football then, we invented the game, like most of them, just a shame we are mostly rubbish at them now...!

: Mark's right. The clue is in the name; Foot. Ball.

: Is that a photo of Australian rules football?

: I think I saw a film once where the Aussie football players learnt
: ballet to improve their game. Hmmmmmm

: I also remember on an episode of Buffy (I'm that age group ok!)
: where Giles, the slightly stuffy English Librarian/'Watcher'
: commented on American football by saying something like "I
: just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on
: its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of
: protective gear just in order to play rugby".

: Anyway, joking aside, good luck to all your respective national
: teams but bad luck, coz England are gonna win this time!!

: Maybe.
