Okay, got to tell you this. Here in Sweden we basically don't play football because it is not part of our tradition, and when we talk about "football" (or "fotboll" in Swedish), we refer to the sport which you call "soccer". Surely the game where you are never allowed to touch the ball with your hands should be called football, not the sport where you carry the ball in your hands and throw it with your hands all the time?
Ah, but listen to this. This morning, my local newspaper reports that my hometown of Malmö is going to be one of eight European cities where a European indoor American football league is going to be played next year! (Yes, we call your football "American football", since you call our football "soccer"!) So we are going to see American football here in Malmö, Sweden, after all! But, Corrina, I really don't think it will be Aussie Rules footy!
