Which is which?

I'm seeing a Collingwood vs. St. Kilda game from Melbourne on ESPN.
Is this the 'Super Bowl'?

I definitely prefer AFL to that lame Soccer crap.
Closest to my new favorite - Irish football (not soccer).
...and Cork won the All-Irish championship last weekend!

Geez, the AFL games are as long as our NFL games without all the stupid time outs and commercial breaks.

I like how Saints are catching up.

So where are the two teams from? I can't determine who's what by searching online.

Here's the Cork victory in the all-Ireland final last weekend...

p.s. oh...and this was Cork's first victory in 20 years, so there's hope.

That was amazing!

But now they have to play AGAIN? There's no overtime? WTF?

Not a bad game - like AFL but with a round ball and less tackling - more open than AFL probably because fewer players on the ground.

Well, its all on again next sat ...
