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...

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 ...
