Home Australian Football Clubs Australian Football Sport Betting Australian Sport More News Sitemap ... About Us Australian Football Introduction Stadium Australia is the centerpiece of the Sydney Olympic Park, housing 110,000 people it is the largest in Olympic history. Following the 2000 Sydney Olympic games Stadium Australia has taken on many new purposes. It is the Home ground of The Australian Rugby Union national team, the Wallabies, and also has many other sporting codes using its famous grounds. The structure The Stadium Australia, is a fine piece of architecture purpose built for the Olympic games, since then there have been many famous sporting encounters witnessed by huge crowds. Most Australian football codes, whether it be Union, Rugby League, or Australian Football call Stadium Australia home for at least some of their big matches. The Swans and the Australian stadium The Sydney Swans were going to christen the Stadium Australia with its first AFL match in December 2001 against the Collingwood Magpies, this was however called off. Swans officials were worried that the Stadium Australia would not be quite right and a ground that was sub-standard might put off its fan base, which is at times tenuous. The ground The ground is of the largest of its type in the world and this is what helped to make the Sydney Olympics such a roaring success. The quality of Stadium Australia meant that people from Australia and from around the world could perform their athletic best on such a high quality ground. This sporting success has continued through to this year with many successful matches being played at Stadium Australia.

A history of Handball Early History Handball is one of the worlds oldest sports. The sport was in a variety of guises until its present form today. A ball game was described by Home in 'The Odyssey" in the following way: "And Alcinous commanded the courageous Halius to dance alone with Laodamus, since no one ventured to dance with them. They immediately took hold of the beautiful ball which Polybus had skillfully made out of of purple wool. One of them bending right back, hurled the ball high up into the shadowy clouds; then the other leapt high from the ground and deftly caught it before his feet touched the ground again. And after trying to throw the ball upwards, they danced floatingly to and fro on the bountiful earth, frequently moving from one position to another." A relief on a gravestone dated to be 600BC was found at the city wall of Athens, depicting the above event. According to the writings of the Roman doctor, Claudius Galenus (130-200AD), the Romans had a handball game called 'Harpaston". In the Middle Ages, maids of honour and knights were keen ball game players. The rules of the game were to pass the ball, which was often adorned with ribbons and bells, from one place to another. The minnesingers called the Summer ball the first game. This was sung by Walther von der Vogelwide (1170-1230), who called them "Cath Ball Games", forerunner to the present day game of handball.

Sports facts The History of Football (Soccer) A sport similar to football was played 3000 years ago in Japan. Chinese text from 50 BC mentions football-type games between teams from Japan and China. A text dating from 611 AD confirms that football was played in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. Ancient Greeks and Romans also played a game that resembled football - although the Greeks permitted carrying of the ball. Olympic games in ancient Rome featured a 50-minute football game with twenty-seven men on a side. The early days How the sport spread from the East to Europe is not clear but England became the home of modern football. At first the game had a bad reputation among English royalty - possibly because of the noise the fans made - by whose insistence the government passed laws against it. King Edward (1307-1327) proclaimed, "For as much as there is a great noise in the city caused by hustling over large balls, from which many evils may arise, which God forbid, we forbid on behalf of the King, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city." In 1365 King Edward III banned football because of its excessive violence and for military reasons playing took time away from archery practice the game had become too popular to be curtailed. King Henry IV and Henry VIII passed laws against the sport, and Queen Elizabeth I "had soccer players jailed for a week, with follow-up church penance"

74. All-American Rugby Team : History It was the last olympic appearance for rugby, and back in the States,American football's dominance grew. However, the game of rugby http://www.rugbyallamericans.org/history.html

The All-American team was one of the first US teams to play outside of North America. In 1910, travelling under the name "American Universities," collegiate players toured Australia and New Zealand. It was an intrepid venture into the heartland of the game, and while the Americans lost the majority of their matches, they began a touring tradition that would bear golden fruit in the years to come. At the time of their expedition, the game of rugby union was enjoying a burst of popularity in the States, particularly in California. Major universities such as the University of California, Berkeley (Cal) and Stanford had withdrawn from American football competitions in 1906, citing concerns over "brutality" and burgeoning professionalism. Rugby became the sport of choice. Soon the traditional university rivals were drawing crowds of more than 20,000 to their annual rugby clash, and were regularly sending teams to British Columbia to vie for "the Coast's" rugby crown. In this manner the West Coast became something of a hotbed for American rugby, a title that still holds true nearly a century later. The All-American-Antipodean rivalry resumed in 1912 when the "Waratah Rugby team of Australia won the first international Rugby game to be played on American soil." The final score was 12-8, after the Americans had led well into the second half.

FOOTBALL REPORT Back to NEWS Back to FOOTBALL NEWS Sunday, October 1 Cool Cameroon clinch shoot-out From Oliver Holt in Sydney A penalty shoot-out, so often a desultory dessert at the end of a sumptuous meal, illuminated the men’s football Olympic final yesterday afternoon. The Spain players did not shame themselves in the postscript to their 2-2 draw with Cameroon but the Indomitable Lions displayed such poise, such confidence in their own technical ability, that they turned the competition from the spot into a confirmation of African football’s quickening march. Cameroon did not miss one of their five kicks. They sent the Spain goalkeeper, Aranzubia, the wrong way each time. Even if he had guessed right, he would not have got near three of them. Those were hit high and powerfully towards the roof of the net. One, after a languid apology of a run-up from Samuel Eto’o Fils, the game’s outstanding player, was a chip that kissed the underside of the crossbar on its way in. After Spain missed once - Amaya’s drive bounced off the top of the bar - the contest was over. Pierre Wome completed the formalities. Even if football has not managed to figure highly on the Richter Scale of achievements that these Olympics have produced, Wome’s celebration, running round the net, leaping the advertising boards, dancing a wiggled-hip jig and hurling his shirt into the crowd, was undoubtedly one of the best of the Games. Pierre Wome scores the winning penalty in the shoot-out. Picture: Lionel Cironneau/AP

AP MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - The weather was perfect for football. American football, that is. Maybe that's why the Americans were able to make history. On a chilly, rainy evening that felt nothing like a Summer Olympics, the U.S. men's team advanced out of the first round of an Olympic soccer tournament for the first time, beating Kuwait 3-1 Tuesday. Danny Califf scored in the 40th minute, Chris Albright in the 63rd and Landon Donovan in the 89th as the Americans dominated their Middle East opponents, who no doubt were more used to sand and hot sun than the slippery, bone-chilling conditions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Substitute Bader Najem scored for Kuwait in the 83rd.
