World Cup Purist Struggles To Explain Why Aussie ‘Football’ Team Called Socceroos

Footballroos

Fans of the round-ball game have largely been in their element during the FIFA World Cup.

It’s a special time when friends and co-workers who have ridiculed any attempts to discuss their favourite sport in the past 4 years, now hang on every word of wisdom uttered by these sagacious gurus.

However, there are those like Liam (29) who still bristle every time some uncultured simpleton asks him if he watched the ‘soccer’.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about” Liam was overheard saying, while knowing exactly what his colleague was talking about.

“I watched the football though. It was an enthralling game, Jorgensen was absolutely dominant, unless of course you listen to the mainstream media”.

Seems Legit understands that it was Jason from Sales on the receiving end this time, who lacks the intellectual capacity to understand how a striker could dominate a drawn game in which he didn’t score.

“Mate, there are three more popular types of football in this country, and the team is called the bloody Socceroos” retorted Jason, appearing to regret trying to make friendly conversation with a co-worker everyone usually avoids.

“No they’re not!” insisted Liam.

“The sport is football. Real fans know them as the Footballroos”.

Witnesses told Seems Legit that after storming off, Liam managed to get his mojo back and was later heard spreading his knowledge to those whose interest in the World Cup is definitely beginning to waver.

“I’m certainly not surprised Mexico’s defence is holding up so well. I remember Jesus Gallardo’s potential at Left Back standing out in the 2011 under-17 qualifiers, and knew he’d eventually shine on the big stage”.

Liam, who has apparently seen every game of ‘football’ played worldwide since several years before his birth, spent the rest of the day defending his middling position in the office fantasy World Cup standings, insisting that the flawed competition doesn’t reflect someone’s true understanding of the sport.
