HiLo48 you re from somewhere in Victoria Have you noticed hundreds of clubs changing their name for Soccer Club to Football Club South Melbourne FC did so and did you noticed the organising body for the sport changed its named to Football Federation Victoria Also have you noticed the national media Surprisingly a lot of them refer to the game as football Sydney based or not they represent the whole of Australia What you see the media doing is completely different from what someone in Melbourne sees yes I agree so let s use the neutral term association football which is the term for the sport on wikipedia
