AFL concedes season could be lost to soccer World Cup

One thing that that keeps annoying me is that Australian Soccer is calling itself Football. I've seen a magazine called Australian Football but is about Soccer. Soccer can't just come here and call itself Football when there is already a sport called Football established here. Ok I know that in NSW and QLD Football generally refers to Rugby but that's in just those two states. With Soccer the term Football is used in the whole of Australia. I doubt that Soccer will grow further here because of that and becasue of the fact that Brits are coming here critisising Aussie Rules and saying that "Soccer is the only true Football". If they don't like Aussie Rules then they can go back to England. I know that not all of them do it and I promise I"m not being racist but there are a fair few that do.
