We've got a bit of everything over here but football refers to Aussie rules, which is nothing much like anything else really. Most of the country follows it predominantly especially Victoria and South Australia which is where I'm from. The only two states it is not big in are New South Wales and Queensland, which is where I live. They're both big on rugby league mainly.

As far as the soccer goes down here, I don't really follow it but I'm pretty sure that the Queensland and SA teams are the two best ones. But I wouldn't know. :P It is definitely called soccer down here though. ;)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

I'm in! I would love to be Croatia, although their first game is Brazil, so in that case, maybe not...
