From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The entire point of the 'Association football' terminology was to remove the clumsiness inherent in '(soccer)', Association football (soccer) is not just not what the three year discussion achieved but is also the very worst of both worlds. You have a reference that has Association football (soccer)? --Falcadore (talk) 06:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

No, it was intended to be a catch all phrase. The argument began as US vs World, the same points apply for Australia vs World. The discussion has been going of for three years, the chance of a new viewpoint appearing that has not previously been considered is pretty slim. --Falcadore (talk) 06:28, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Because it is such an impassioned debate is why its dragged on so long. However, Wikipedia is not Australian, is not a reflection of Australia, and implications of nationality are a big part of why the debate was derailed into heated flame wars for so long. --Falcadore (talk) 06:35, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Association football#Ready to move? Top of this page, plus approx 14/15 archived pages of slanging preceding it if you want to wade through it. However, going by your previous statements I don't expect you to accept this. --Falcadore (talk) 06:49, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
What the 'American' articles do is not important to me. There was a long discussion and a consensus achieved. Perhaps you might like to add some comment at the Association Football talk page, rather than engage a single editor? --Falcadore (talk) 07:12, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
