Not sure any of you actually know, but there is such a thing called Australian football, that in the good tradition of American football has almost nothing to do with what most of the world calls football.
It's pretty interesting that this game was actually invented here in Melbourne and for a long time was only played in Victoria. Only recently there appeared some teams in the other states.
I went to see a match this Friday, St. Kilda vs. Adelaide in the
nice Telstra Dome stadium right in front of my house ;)I have to say the atmosphere was great, people came in great numbers and they really cheered their teams all the way. From the old lady behind me that was cheering 'Come on Adelaide' for a whole 2 and half hours till her voice became coarse to the gentlemen in suit & tie next to me that was taunting the players from St. Kilda each time they made a mistake, the passion was there.
