...and it's FOOTBALL people... FOOTBALL.. not soccer.
"Soccer" differentiates it from the other four codes of 'football' played in Australia (including those big girls' blouses running around in helmets and shoulder pads (soooo '80s).
So as we commonly refer to the other main ones as 'union' and 'league', rather than refer to the round-ball game as 'association', I (and many other thinking types) will continue to refer to 'soccer', irrespective of what Mr O'Neill wants.
Next you'll be wanting us to start talking about '
