Sternly Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 When Hicksy said "We played footy with Doogie" does he mean the same footy as Julia from Australia? I am getting the impression they are not, though they use the same word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlstar Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I think when he says footy he means football as in Soccer, where as when I say it I mean football as in Australian, which is different. :P But yeah, I think it just means soccer. (i'm probably wrong though lol) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogieJ Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Football is the universal word for the game of Association football, in a few countries, most notably America and Australia, it is called soccer as to not confuse it with their own national hybrid sports of American Football and Aussie Rules Football.

badlydrawngirl Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 can't wait for Thursday's match, when England will show everyone who's boss *fingers so very crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternly Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 :confused: wow, now I'm confused. When our teacher tell us he has played footy, he means like a very rustic way of Rugby and I thought Julia meant the same, but you say something different.

Footy doesn't mean rugby here. :confused: I think it just depends on what part of the world you're from because...everyone calls it different stuff! But we call soccer:soccer and we call rugby:rugby and we call AFL (Australian Football League): Footy/Football. So yeah, we just call things different. :P This is Australian Football: ...i'm not very good at explaining things but I hope that helped. :/ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternly Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 That's what we call Footy here too....... actiolly that's what I meant by " a very rustic way of Rugby", thought It's not even that...... it looks like a hybrid between American Footbal and Rugby :confused: :lol: ours it's just a very rustic (simple) Rugby... no rules, no stops. That's footy.... well at the beginning it was just kicking (that's why Footy) but then, it's what I said, to us at least. :cool: (I think though!)

girlstar Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Why the y after foot in football? It's just a shortened name, or nickname for the word I guess. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
