( Wait, hang on. Do they say football in America, or soccer? Are they weirdly British that way, or normal? She has to consider for a second. )
It's not like soccer-football or American football. Rugby football, more like. AFL is full contact, eight people per side, couple of goal posts at each end. We got Rugby League and Rugby Union and there's gridiron too, I think. All comes down to a bunch of burly blokes smashing into each other on a field wearing shorts.
