Footy Grand Final

Went to the footy at the 'G'
Its that time of the season again when people go ferrel for their football team.. yes mostly pies fan. It can get exciting (on the other hand it can get really boring.. 100 points margin and stuff) I can tell you that especially last week preliminary finals between Hawthorn and Collingwood. Yes they have many versions of 'final'. Cant grab the idea around that yet. People get really excited about it in Victoria. Really excited... to the extent of excitement just because. Eg.. your team is already winning by 50 points and 1 minute to go, the next score they go crazy like its the winning goal of the world cup. I asked them does it make a difference. A flat out no was the answer.

Anyways, I rather have my soccer (a harder and more technical game in my eyes). I cant call it football here... ppl will get confused or angry. I still remember a mate making fun of me when I called it football instead of soccer. He said, "The sport when the ball is round".... like its a bad thing. Last I check the definition of a ball is a round object. Whatever... look whos talking, a fan of a sport that gets a point for missing. Yup.. you get a point for missing. The only other sport I know who does it is the Irish football thingy... but thats different because they intentionally aim for the lower points goal.

Enough of my rambling.. I might not know enough about footie but i do admire the fans enthusiasm although I reckon saje diorang lebih2 (thats why its so strong financially). But i just cant understand why ppl that are into footie have the cheek to make fun of other sports when they dont realize they are the only ones playing it.
