Football (Soccer) is better than AFL

Well if you cant get your head around this just by the reading the title, you should just give up now and learn to flip burgers on the 'barby', grab a VB and stand there with your famous 'cork' hat and mutter useless slang like "bloody oath" or "g'day" of which you are accustomed to. However i will shed some light to you on the subject. You can make a start by calling it football, its proper name. Football, based on the fact that you use your feet 90% of the time. It is the world's team sport, a passion in virtually every respectable nation on every continent. Known as the beautiful game it is skillful, fast paced, full of action and pasison. It can be played with just a round object by 2 or more people. Dont get me wrong, Aussie rules is a enertaining game to an extent and i have seen a few games (The Eagles at Subiaco Oval) but it just doesnt posess the skill and grace compared to Football. There is a reason it has never caught on anywhere else in the world. As for the atmosphere at the game? Does it have one? That is something you can prove just by going to an AFL game and then going to a local derby Football match virtually anywhere else in the world. No competition. Lets consider the skill level of AFL, there is none. Anyone can punt a egg shape ball as hard as they can down a huge field and then hope that someone will produce a spectacular catch at the end of it. Its hardly something that you must practice time and time again to perfect. However, what the Afl players do practice everyday is scoring goals which is done by also punting the ball, a little straighter this time, into huge oversized goals consisting of 4 goalposts about 30 metres high. and about 40 meters wide in total. This brings me to how points are allocated. If by some miracle that the player does succeed in kicking the ball straight through the middle posts then he has won his team 6 points. If he misses the middle and puts it wide on either side, his team still gets a point! So from this, if you can imagine a AFl game with both teams on level points and a player has a chance to clinch victory in the dying moments, he can still miss the goal and still yet win the game. Well from my perspective this is just ridiculous. Football on the other hand, combines a variety of skills to score a goal with quick passes and movements or maybe just the 50 yard pass to a teammates feet and then at the end of the build up, the attacker has to score past a goalkeeper into a much smaller sized goal. Football is the world game, and will always be the favourite in all countries. Its even catching on in Australia now, with more and more kids in school opting to enroll in football teams of their national sport. AFl is on the slippery slope out of here, and this will be replaced with 'the beautiful game' Football.
