		Football can be boring to watch (but skill is appreciated), but playing in it is very exciting.
		While uniting countrymen, football (and the other major sports, I'm sure; football is just my handy example) has the unfortunate effect of inducing a sort of xenophobia in fans and may even awaken the old grudges.
		Football, or soccer as it is sometimes know, is played on a field measuring 90 to 120 meters in length (100 to 110 m for international competition) and 45 to 90 meters in width (64 to 75 for international).

	CSIndy: Ponytails and Pigskin (April 4, 2002)
		While they appear to be merely another well-organized football team having a Saturday practice in the park, closer inspection reveals that there is one small factor that sets this team apart from most other football teams: their gender.
		According to league president and co-founder, Jennifer Hill, the league's ultimate goal is to expand, over the next five years, to include 40 teams.
		After all, football is truly the last bastion of masculinity within organized and professional sports; it is still the one sport that girls and women are virtually locked out of at all levels.

	Swans oppose extended season - smh.com.au
		Sydney football operations chief Colin Seery said his club was concerned at overexposing Australian football in the Sydney market and that the Swans were concerned over where the extra revenue would be generated.
		But AFL general manager of football operations Andrew Demetriou said yesterday that the league was also considering reverting back to a knock-out pre-season cup should the pre-season competition be retained.
		While the AFL and the Players Association have considered the prospect of two mid-season byes, the league is unlikely to allow it, given its reluctance to open the season a week earlier on March 9.

	Australian Soccer News - Dwight Yorke :: Soccerphile
		For whether it's other A-League clubs' failure or their refusal to recruit a dedicated superstar payable outside the A$1.5m annual salary cap, the fact is Yorke is one of just three bone fide marquee signings to date – with only a month until the start of the inaugural A-League season.
		Footballers unlikely to be anticipating earning something like A$200,000 (GBP 80,000) a season even towards the end of distinguished careers.
		For all these reasons, and taking into account Australian football's wider issues of acceptance among sports fans, the Yorke signing is certainly a gamble not just for Sydney FC, but for the whole of the restructured league.

		The DAFL/Power House scholarship program was established in 1994 when the then league president, Mark Scotland, put his Australian connections to good use and convinced his brother, Jeff (president of Power House Football Club in the VAFA) that it would be an interesting project to send local DAFL players to Power House for a season.
		Depending on finances, the League aims to pay about 50% of each player's airfare, but more importantly, the player(s) chosen get to play serious footy in Australia, and are supplied with coaching courses by the AFL during their stay.
		In 2006, the scholarship scheme moved to the Hampton Hammers of the Southern Football League.

		Their success in losing only one game last season and breaking the 100-point barrier was built on a towering three-man defense of Johan Mjallby, Joos Valgaeren and Bobo Balde and the goals of Swede Henrik Larsson.
		On their way to winning the League and Scottish Cups last season Rangers beat their Glasgow rivals twice and that could be a springboard for their first real title challenge since they won it two years ago.
