	Rugby union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rugby union is also related to rugby sevens, which the game's governing body the IRB also runs, as well as American football and Canadian football, which are directly descended from rugby football.
		The crucial differences from football (soccer) are that in rugby the ball is a prolate spheroid instead of a sphere and that the players are allowed to pick the ball up and run with it.
		The main differences from rugby league are the number of players per side (league has 13, union 15), the scoring system, and the means of securing and retaining possession of the ball (in union, both teams may contest possession at a tackle or set piece; in league one team retains possession for six tackles.

	Snap (American football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canadian football used the rugby scrimmage unaltered until near the end of the 19th Century, when, regionally at first, under the influence of the American scrimmage, the number of players in the scrimmage was limited to three -- a "centre scrimmager" bound on either side by props called "side scrimmagers".
		The ball begins on the ground with its long axis parallel to the sidelines of the field, its ends marking each team's line of scrimmage in American football; in Canadian football line of scrimmage of the team without the ball is 1 yard their side of the ball.
		The snap must be a quick and continuous movement of the ball by one or both hands of the snapper ("centre" in Canadian football), and the ball must leave the snapper's hands.

	Washingtonpost.com: The World of Soccer
		It's seemingly an obvious point, but the traditionally inward-looking U.S. establishment – for decades drawn from youth and collegiate administrators who owed their positions more to politics than to accomplishments in the sport – is conditioned to be suspicious of internationalizing the American game...
		Fifth on Borja's list, by the way, is to improve the federation's public and media relations, a useful example for some of the pre-Alan Rothenberg us-against-the-world holdovers at the USSF who resented Rothenberg's great strides toward broadening the American view of soccer.
		The correspondence I've received over the last two years has only reinforced my belief that the U.S. soccer fan is fully as dedicated as his or her counterpart at baseball, football and basketball stadiums, and significantly more sophisticated, to boot.

	List of soccer positions
		The fluid nature of the modern game means the positions in football are not as formally defined as in sports such as rugby or American football.
		These positions describe both the player's main role and by implication their location on the pitch.
		Of all the positions, midfield is the one where raw speed is least important, as this can be compensated for by ability on the ball.
