I call both Soccer and AFL Football, and call Rugby, Footy. I only ever talk about AFL with my mother, Soccer with friends and Rugby with no one.

It can be really confusing when all three are somewhat popular in one country.

League or Union?

I'd call rugby league "footy", but rugby union will always be "ruggers".
