In December 2004 Frank Lowy, the chairman of ASA, announced that the ASA (Australian Soccer Association) would become the FFA (Football Federation Australia).
"2005 will be one of the most crucial in the history of football in Australia and we will start it off with this symbolic move," Lowy said.
"The change in our corporate name is another part of the ongoing process of repositioning the game in Australia."
And after the 32 year World Cup drought Australia made it into the 06' world cup with the help of Guus Hiddink. So if a team is determined to make people watch soccer and do well in soccer they start calling it football. Getting the hint?
So people, yes soccer does suck and yes David Becham does look like a girl but football certainly does not and neither does a low scoring game.

Post a CommentYes football, the one that is played with the feet is the better package.I so looked foward to watching american football after watching the pictures of the gladiatorlike palyers when I first got the chance and opportunities were few and was initially intigued. But it wore off very fast and it is getting worse with the satelite tv in my country now inundated with transmissions of all sports. American football is one of the worse spectacle all too few actions but a lot of stops. What I can't stand the most is the way the cammentators speak as if it is the most compelling spectacle even when discussing about all the brainless statistics. Most american commentators are. I suppose if you just have the radio available american sports must be the most exciting to hear the way they go on!
I support greenbay packers in NFL but i still like the real football better!
lol so true
