A Real Mans Football is Aussie Rules, you have to be fit strong and athletic with a lot of endurance, Soccer or the original Football as it is know is right behind it where again it is not about brawn but athletic fitness and endurance the only thing I don't like is the way they al but kiss one another after a goal, Grid Iron football confuses me to hell why do you need two teams- 1 for offence and 1 for defence why not have one team that can do it all and get rid of that over the top enormous padding, come on guys have to time the guys under it are tiny, here we go ... I'll cop a bashing from some of the east coast Aussies for this and that is Rugby league is an interesting sport but it is all about brawn and seeing how much you can touch up (hence it I also known as Sniff and Tickle) the other guy then you have Rugby Union they are even worse they like jump on top of each other a to really get a feel and a sniff and tickle.

Caveat
apart from the top three lines which were truthfull the rest is just a bit of fun l rarely watch any kind of football on tv whilst watch in live at field is always more exciting except I can't comment on grid iron as I have never watched it live but when I have attempted to watch on tv I end up switch over in from being confused why as soon as the guys have done a bit of work they come of for a rest and the other half of the team go out to play, if I ever get back over to the states I will have to make attempt to actually go and see a game live

Hanso I'm with you here, we prepaid recently for tickets to American Football display game that was coming over here, they didn't sell enough tickets and it was cancelled. I'm not a great rugby or football fan either but watch major games, Wales are here at the moment being thrashed by the All Blacks. When we go back to the USA we're going to big games.

And I have to add the following everyone read this and wince

Shelford’s story is legendary. In 1986, caught in the bottom of a ruck in a game against France, Shelford had four teeth knocked out and his scrotum was ripped open by a French cleat, leaving one testicle hanging out. Incredibly, team physicians sewed him up on the sideline and he returned to the field before a concussion finally knocked him out of the game.

People still have placards at games today that say "Bring back Buck"

Don't forget the guy that comes on for 30 seconds to kick the ball (maybe that's why they call it Football LOL) and then goes back to the bench for a rest.

Some of them specialist US football 'punters' are Aussie as they know how to kick a ball a long distance accurately. What a doddle they don't even get hit and earn a fortune.

He is lucky they didn't have a sheep dog handy to gobble the oyster. I had an Aussie red cloud kelpie as a kid that used to go down to the local Rugby field every Sunday, circle the scrum and then duck in and steal their balls with the lacing in his teeth. Popular he was not!

Thought I should clarify that one , football , meaning soccer in which a load of overpaid lotharios kick a pigs bladder around a field until they throw themselves to the floor crying coz they broke a bootlace ! Now you can't beat a good old game of rugger . A game for thugs played by gentlemen , followed by a nice hot bath together ! To be fair tho , those NFL guys are machines ! I would love to see how our internationals would fare against some of those guys ? Now that's a game I would watch !

No, no,no, let me explain,,,,;;
Soccer, a sport where 22 indviduals in tip top phisical condition run around the field getting in even better condition while 100,000 fat men and women watch while they eat junk food getting even fatter
