*Strongly Support - to Kirjtc2, Wikipedia is NOT a nationalist website. You may note that many articles on Wikipedia use English spellings and terms, for example aubergine. Football was invented in the UK and it's name is used in all other languages too where football is much more popular of a sport than in the US. I do although support Association Football as a second choice as it is an official name.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.109.186.127 (talk • contribs) 06:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone want to start a article, listing accounts of anti-soccer commentary in the media?
I think it would be a good idea. There have been numerous accounts of this by people like Jim Rome, various articles in Time, Newsweek, and major newspapers.

message: Is there an article on Wikipedia that explains how players are bought and sold?  And who gets the money?

thread_title: Player cards

message: Should we mention the unwritten rule were the ball is kicked over the sideline when a player is injuried, with the gesture returned with the ball thrown back once play can continue? Fornadan (t) 22:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think an article (perhaps Fair play in football (soccer)) could be useful. There is a Fifa drive on this topic, as well as various awards and rewards given to clubs and players who play fairly. Fair play also takes different forms in different cultures.  There is a lot of material for such an article. SLUMGUM  yap  stalk  23:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Protection

message: Added a criticism section on soccer, hope it does not get deleted, but rather adjusted and expanded by people. Current focus is on failure to gain stand in USA (NA). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.70.32.136 (talk • contribs) 
:Some of the points you added are worth a mention on WP, but are probably more suited to somewhere like Soccer in the United States. — sjorford++ 12:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
