On another general sports forum the following thread is being discussed there are the normal trols that make there way on but some interesting ideas and passion.
Anyway to the discussion...................

It really disheartens me every time I hear people call football, soccer even more so when its in the media.
The FFA have tried to rectify this by being called the Football Federation Australia and having the domestic competition being called A-League Football.
But our most popular and most marketable team, the SOCCERoos, still has the foul stench of Soccer Australia all over it.
I think in order for us to make serious strides we really need to change the name of the Socceroos to something else. What to, Im not sure, but it definitely shouldnt have soccer in it.
