It was distinction made in England amongst lower class sports (football sports) and upper class sports like polo, which is played on horseback. The term "soccer" was actually invented in England and is a nickname/corruption of "as<b>SOC</b>iation football. Rugby and Australian Rules Football are also types of football where very little kicking is involved.

"Real" football, eh? I should have Kris get online and do a little comment to tell you a little about what HE thinks, heh-heh.

But Kris really can't wait to go (and u know how I feel about football), but anyhow... until then. Oh, I see!!! “Real” football, eh?
