When they say football, they mean football
When meeting people from Europe, South America, or basically anywhere else in the world besides the States, talking about football normally means talking about what we call soccer. Sure many people are aware of this vocabulary conundrum, but when traveling to Australia, another rift in the definition of football comes about. While some Australians are soccer fans, as well as American football fans (which they refer to as gridiron), football for them means Australian Rules Football, (aka AFL or footy).
