Soccer... Not that interested in domestic leagues since the NSL dissolved, though (there is no point in being a prick and pushing the football line... With AFL, League and Union we need to distinguish it in some way).
The Panthers.

That's about it.

Do you happen to know how to get the greater part of the Australian population to stop referring to the oval sports as football? No? Thought so.
The term soccer shall remain to avoid confusion. It's that simple. It really does not matter whether it is 'correct' or not.

For all those people who follow American sports, what do you think is the most popular sport over there? I am guessing it would be between Basketball, Baseball and Gridiron, and I would say that Basketball is the most popular but I am not sure:).

I live for rugby league and Cricket.
Go to 1\2 games at worst of the club I follow and go to all 5 days of the sydney test.

Other than those to I follow Tennis big time these days. Always look and read into where Lleyton Hewitt is and stay up to watch him at any unlikable hour when Grand slams are on.

I love rugby union too with a passion at club level (Cause I live in Eastwood I support Eastwood) , super 12 and to a muc larger extent international rugby. (Bledisloe Cup is probably the best sporting event of the year).

Anything at the olympics I love.

Besides that AFL , Soccer , Basketball I support but I wouldnt call myself a major supporter - I dont really get cut or too dissapointed If my team looses.
