 ==== Length of Game ==== 
 Shouldn't the length of the game be included on this page? Indicate something like ""A professional game totals 90 minutes. That time is divided into two equal halves, each lasting 45 minutes. The time between two halves is called halftime and lasts 15 minutes.""     

 * It's in their mate: 

 ""Duration and tie-breaking methods 
 A standard adult football match consists of two periods of 45 minutes each, known as halves. Each half runs continuously, meaning that the clock is not stopped when the ball is out of play. There is usually a 15-minute half-time break between halves. The end of the match is known as full-time.""    

 == Where first played == 

 It currently says: 

 ""First played 	 Mid-19th century Great Britain, Nottinghamshire, Sheffield."" 

 Sheffield is in the county of South Yorkshire, not Nottinghamshire. 

 So the line should read: 

 ""Mid-19th century Great Britain, Yorkshire, Sheffield"" (as South Yorkshire wasn't created until 1974)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by   •    
 :Surely it should actually read: Sheffield, Yorkshire, Great Britain (or more probably England)?    
 :: Wrong also, alas. It was Sheffield, [in the] West Riding of Yorkshire, [in] England (this is the preferred name here in England).  
 ::In Yorkshire, we had the Ridings, which were de facto sub-counties (as well as the ""Parts"", in the neighbouring Lincolnshire).     

 == Footy? == 

 Article says the game is known as 'Footy'.  When I grew up it was always called 'Footer'. I think 'footy' is a modern version of the name.   
 :What's 'modern'? It was footy in the 1990s in the English Midlands. Could be a geographical thing as well.    
 ::Bettybutt, how old are you? Also, did you go to Eton? –   
 :My granddad (would have been 84 this year) called it footer and certainly didn't go to Eton, haha. I seem to remember that Billy Bunter and his 'chums' used to call it that in their books though!    

 == NCAA College Soccer == 

 Anybody mind me adding a college soccer section. The NCAA sport and different conferences are quite popular and particularly offer an example of how women's soccer is celebrated.   
 :Seems a little specific for the main article of the subject as a whole. It seems to be a sub-section of college football in one country. Bet it's really, really good but not on the main article. Any other thoughts from anyone else?    
 ::Higher education football —  

 == Name of the game in Australia and New Zealand == 

 Seen there's been a few changes to the article regarding the above. Having travelled around Australia a couple of times (haven't been to SA or NT) and being a British association football fan I've had long conversations with people from Hobart to Perth about this matter. It all seems to appear what state you're from and what code of football you like to play what you call it    

 == Friendly? == 

 What is a friendly?  I hear this term a lot on BBC, but it's never explained.  The Wik article refers to ""friendly matches,"" which I assume are the same thing, but they aren't explained either.   
 :See exhibition game. In British English the alternative ways of communicating the same thing (such as exhibition, preparation or demo) are not commonly used in this context, hence use of ""fr
