Eh the American game is nothing like the English or the Australian game, and you guys play with a round ball and can only kick it along the ground with your feet, no handballing etc. The Australian game is more of a spectacle, high flying marks (catches) long distance kicking, hand balling. scores from both teams in all games, no riots etc, and all this with not a round ball but with an odd shaped ball, a bit like the shape of the zeppelin, so it takes major skill just to bounce it let alone kick it straight. Our game is totally different to any other football in the world, it did not evolve from the English (European) football. Yes we do play your style football over here as well but we call that 'soccer'. And just to clarify, I am not talking about rugby or gridion. I'm talking Aussie Rules! Aussie Aussie Aussie oiy oiy oiy.
