Aha!! Interesting!
OK, hmm, so, OK, can we back up a bit? So, what you're saying (taking both
of your posts into account) is that:
1. The official name of the LEGO product line in Australia is "LEGO Football"
and not "LEGO Soccer," and
2. Australians call the sport "Soccer" and use the word "Football" for
something else, possibly Rugby.
Is that correct? In other words, did LEGO name the product line incorrectly
w.r.t. Australian conventions when referring to the sport?
Does anyone know if -- anywhere in the world -- the official LEGO product line
for this is called "LEGO Futbol"?

p.s. The 2000 LEGO Football/Soccer sets rock!!!
