| Despite the comments from the unwashed masses who have no interest in the sport and make comments based on the prediction of denigration of the term "football" as compared to its "common" usage names for "Rugby League" and "AFL" or "Aussie Rules" the name is football and it has always been football around the world for more than 100 years... There is no confusion when the correct names for the sport are used rather than denigerations such as "mungo ball" or "hand egg" stop with the bias please ladies. | |||
| The talk page on Soccer in Australia is commendable since it gives an insight into the kit colors. The page argues that the Football Federation Australia body ought to stick to the white kit to avoid the conflicting similarity between the Australian kits and south Africa kits which are both yellow and green. It also comments that Cambodia was not a communist state in 1965, but rather a monarchy. The page also suggests that the name soccer in Australia should be changed to Australia national team to ensure consistency. | |||

| Participation in the sport has incredibly increased over the years based on an assessment done in 2013. Due to this, recommendations such as changing the manner of performance and the system can help develop players. Nevertheless, accentuation on coach edification have been integrated to support growing more professionals in the sport. (Ben Backley)With the most renowned competitions in the games, the federation has elevated more national based championships regardless of the infiltration in the municipal areas.Other competitions have also been introduced in several states to help up bring new players. Since there are no promotions and relegations of teams in the competitions, the federation have established more intense games to enable relegation and promotion of teams. Subsequently, this will construct a more established football to harness competition with other nations. Women and men’s soccer has dramatically improved due to countless efforts by the Football Federation Australia.(17) <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 17:27, 26 December 2017 (UTC)</small> | |||

| The page gives a contradictory fact about the actual date when Wanderers F.C was founded. The accurate year ought to be 1880 but not 1830. The establishment of the game in Australia ought to be in the year1879. The given years between 1760s and 1779 are also incorrect accounts on the founding of the sport.(17) <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 17:28, 26 December 2017 (UTC)</small> | |||

"Soccer" isn't the name of the game any more.''" This is a confrontational edit, firstly because it is in contravention of the above policy, and secondly because of that policy's history. This user and I were both major players in the very nasty debate around four years ago which led to the current policy. He didn't get the result he wanted from that debate, but has never given up. You will see another attempt of his to change the policy in the section titled "Sources" above, around two years ago. Today he is trying again, not in the correct way, but by defying the current policy and edit-warring. | |||
