Barrack = Support ?

My english is a little rusty..

If that's the meaning of it, of course you can, even my girlfriend does, she hates bullfights

Don't feel bad. I didn't know that meaning of "barrack" until his photos of Australian Rules Football prompted me to read about the game on Wikipedia.

Very good photos. I didn't realize the arena was so small. I always imagined it to be larger.

And thanks to you and Wikipedia, I now know a little about the differences between Spanish and Portuguese bullfighting.
