Almost ended here....YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when i saw you had posted, I was expecting.. 'you call THAT football??'
And Manchester United and Manchester City are top of the table.................Ooooops! Wrong sort of football 
What the...? You can't seriously be calling that GAYFL crap football, surely?
For me, there's ONLY one football... and that's NRL [Aussie rugby League]
Oh, and I follow Super League [rugby league] in the UK, also.
NRL is for Sontarans [it's a Dr Who reference...look it up]...;p
Absolutely..... GO Wigan, all the way to the top.
Yup, they'd probably like it.... well a lot better than they do the GAYFL. 
Yeah that aerial ping-pong stuff is for Claryites {look up Julian Clary wannabes] 
Nope, right kind of football.
Without Manning Colts are toast. I hate to say it, but The Packers are the team to beat. If Jay Cutler can play at the level he is capable of playing at The Bears, the beloved Bears, can challenge.
All other games called football around the world are a joke! The NFL is it! The best!
Don't be silly gents. Kicking and running the ball is called FOOT....BALL. Running with the ball in your hand and throwing the ball is called HAND....BALL. 
A joke? Maybe.
But at least they are not named wrong.
What came first: The football or the egg? 
Oldest 'code' of fottball on the planet is 'VFL' now 'AFL'.
Predates Rugby and Soccer as regulated forms of football.
That American parochial 'thing' they like to call football is the youngest of them all.... and it's 'ruined' by some idiot's attempt to make it safe...hint...helmets and padding does NOT work.
What starkers calls 'aerial ping-pong' is not my idea of football either, no matter that it's the oldest code.
The only 'football' match I've ever watched live was Arsenal v Stokes City...and I travelled 10,000 miles to do it.
Soccer takes skill.
Football takes testosterone-filled wankers.
Rugby takes neckless knuckle-draggers.
Grid Iron takes corporate back-room deals.
Who really cares?
A cold Friday night ... with 50,000 other people ... hot pie in one hand the footy record in the other. AFL is a good night out GO THE CATS!! 
Watching some NFL on TV, it's an interesting game ... chess with a ball.
Oh and GO AUSSIE in the World Cup
Look a little harder and I think you'll find historical references to rugby [union] that pre-dates Australia... pre Oxford, Cambridge and Eton, even.
One of Brit's literary greats [pre-Aus] wrote about it in one of his novels... was 40 something years ago when I read it in school so I do not recall the name of the book offhand. Got a feeling it might've been in the 1600's and the bloke who translated the King James version of the Bible.
Also, wasn't there a famous painting of Sir Francis Drake playing rugby at Plymouth Ho as the Spanish Armada was approaching?
Ooops, no, that was lawn bowls....
Or was it? My uncle seems to think rugby was a Stone-Age thing, but that the halves were 10 minutes each due to the heavy stone balls seriously testing players stamina.
Apparently, 40 minutes a half rugby only became a reality after the Battle of Hastings in 1066... when they realised that a severed head was easier kick between the goal posts than a stone ball... so much lighter to tuck under the arm and run with as well.
But yeah, they've been playing rugby for an eternity over there.
Yes, they were played but there actually was no formal 'code'...no actual rules of play.
VFL is infact the oldest football code. I didn't say 'best' I said 'oldest'.
I know.... was just having a lend of yer.
I mean, not much else to do around here, being so quiet n' all.
Yes there were... your side did not dare defeat the opposition when there were members of the aristocracy or royal family in it. As a tourist, The Tower of London was an orright place to visit... just not so pleasant as an inmate.
Oh, and rugby union ain't the best football code, BTW.... that title goes hands-down to rugby league, a newer but infinitely superior version of the game.
