	Football (soccer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In typical game play, players attempt to propel the ball toward their opponents' goal through individual control of the ball, such as by dribbling, passing the ball to a team-mate, and by taking shots at the goal, which is guarded by the opposing goalkeeper.
		Football is generally a free-flowing game, with play stopping only when the ball has left the field of play, or when play is stopped by the referee.
		From the beginning of each playing period with a kick-off (a set kick from the centre-spot by one team) until the end of the playing period, the ball is in play at all times, except when either the ball leaves the field of play, or play is stopped by the referee.

	UNICEF and FIFA - Football, the right to play
		Football's ability to empower children, especially girls, is one of the sport's greatest strengths in the eyes of US football (soccer) star, Brandi Chastain.
		Chastain has seen football's big impact on girls who play the sport and is herself a role model for millions of girls she has inspired with her outstanding performance and ability.
		"Football games give girls the opportunity to play in public and the encouragement to succeed," she says.

	History: Birth of pro football - Pro Football Hall of Fame
		Thus pro football made its debut more than 100 years ago in comparatively obscure surroundings that could not possibly have provided the slightest clue to the world-wide popularity the sport would be destined to enjoy, particularly in the waning decades of pro football's first century.
		The Allegheny football team, founded in 1890, and the Pittsburgh team, founded a year later, already were heated rivals when they met in the first of two games in the 1892 season and wound up in a 6-6 tie.
		After the Pro Football Hall of Fame was opened in 1963 in Canton, further research uncovered the Pudge Heffelfinger payment by the Allegheny Athletic Association in 1892 and thus negated the Latrobe claim as the birthplace of pro football.

	Football Play by Play Rules - PXP Sports Betting Rules
		Plays will be graded when penalties are enforced at the end of a play and the outcome is considered an official pass, run attempt or sack as far as NFL official statistics are concerned.
		Any play that is not a pass attempt that does not result in a turnover and is not ruled no play will be considered a "Rush" play for wagering purposes.
		For the proposition "Where will the defensive team return the football to on this punt?" the outcome will be graded at the spot on the field where the defensive team begins the next drive, except in the event that they return the football for a touchdown (all touchdown returns are graded “Over”).

	CNNSI.com - College Football - The Play lives on, 20 years later - Thursday November 21, 2002 04:25 PM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Big Game, Cal vs. Stanford, was being played that year at Cal's Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif. It was a heck of a game, a quarterback shootout of sorts between Cal sophomore Gale Gilbert and Stanford senior John Elway.
		Maybe the most talked-about part of The Play, other than Moen's scoring and crashing into the trombonist, was the third lateral, the one that Dwight Garner made from his knee.
		And as the band in front of him started to scatter as The Play came its way, Tyrrell instinctively turned toward the back of the end zone, only to be dropped by Moen coming down from his celebratory leap.

	FIFA.com The Official web site of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association
		The Fair Play Campaign was conceived largely as an indirect result of the 1986 FIFA World Cup™ in Mexico, when the handball goal by Diego Maradona stimulated the admirable reaction of the England coach, Sir Bobby Robson.
		To give fair play more visibility, FIFA created a programme that turned the generic notion into a simple design and an easy to understand code of conduct that could be recognised and respected by players and fans alike.
		In addition to its numerous activities designed to improve the sporting environment for everyone concerned in football, FIFA is committed to encouraging fair play in society too, leading by example and showing fairness, impartiality and solidarity among all of its groups.

	Hail Mary pass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		A Hail Mary pass or Hail Mary play in American football is a forward pass made in desperation, with only a very small chance of success.
		The play is almost never successful in potential game-winning situations, but might be worthy of an attempt in situations where there are no other alternatives, such as a run or a shorter pass that would be tantamount to giving up.
		In discussing the play during a post-game interview, Staubach told reporters that he closed his eyes, threw the ball as hard as he could, and said a Hail Mary prayer.
