::Yeah, I saw that. What on earth makes you think I'm not aware of it? The world moves on, and frankly it's embarrassing to see this old term used for Australia's most popular sport, whose own governing body has long since moved on to the term used around the world.

Soccer in Australia → Association Football in Australia – It makes sense to change it to association football since the federation includes the word "football" in its name. - AquilaXIII (talk) 08:09, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. — Andy W. (talk) 15:58, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Fixed timestamp above — Andy W. (talk) 08:29, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- You probably mean Association football in Australia. Looks like this has been discussed before. See Talk:Soccer in Australia/Archive 1#Requested move and Talk:Soccer in Australia/Archive 3. — Andy W. (talk) 08:29, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- This article should use which ever of "soccer" or "(association) football" is most commonly used in Australia to describe the sport (i.e. if it is generally called "football" that article should still be called "association football" to distinguish from Australian rules football. MrStoofer (talk) 13:13, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Weak oppose per inconsistency with Soccer in the Australian Capital Territory, Soccer in New South Wales, Soccer in Queensland, Soccer in South Australia, Soccer in Tasmania, Soccer in Victoria, Soccer in Western Australia. These pages all have redirects from an "Association football in" prefix. Unless statistics have changed, the RM close from earlier:
There are good arguments, both anecdotal and statistical, backing up the argument that "soccer" is the most common name for the sport in Australia. It is also clearly understood and unambiguous
probably holds. — Andy W. (talk) 15:58, 4 November 2016 (UTC) - Just no - the length of argument over football / soccer for Australian articles is ridiculous. Current consensus is to use soccer. This is an all or nothing argument and I see no appetite for change now. Fenix down (talk) 17:39, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose - yes 'association football' is better but as FD says, 'soccer' is the current preferred term on Aussie Wikipedia so we use that. If you want to change that consensus it needs a wider discussion that this talk page. GiantSnowman 18:58, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose The sport is commonly known as soccer in Australia. That the federation is trying to promote the use of the word "football" is not reason enough. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:28, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose - per above. Football is a problematic term in Australia due to the existence of Rugby and Aussie Rules, just keep it at soccer, its simpler in this case. Inter&anthro (talk) 14:20, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose - We use the preferred term in each country, which is why Association football in the United States redirects to Soccer in the United States while Soccer in the Republic of Ireland redirects to Association football in the Republic of Ireland. If the preferred term in Australia is "soccer," then we use the term "soccer" on Wikipedia. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 08:29, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Sources?
There doesn't seem to be any sourcing for the repeated claim that "soccer" is the preferred term in Australia. Personal opinion is no substitute for reliable sources. --Pete (talk) 18:30, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
- Pfft, you would reject any such sources out of hand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.214.213 (talk) 23:30, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
- Well, put 'em up and see what happens. Or admit there are none. --Pete (talk) 05:26, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- You just proved his point. Spinrad (talk) 08:55, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- The IP's point - FWIW - is a personal thing. If it affects WP at all, it comes under WP:NPA. My point goes right to the fundamentals. Where are the sources? Attacking me for requesting that material be sourced isn't how Wikipedia is supposed to work, now is it? --Pete (talk) 16:40, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

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.
Suggestions to improve the talk page include creating a disarm page that is more convenient. The term soccer also ought to be revoked and replaced with football since many people are more familiar with it. Furthermore, more expansion should be considered in the introduction to calm the undergoing disputes.
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) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malha10 (talk • contribs) 17:27, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
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) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malha10 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
Skyring wants to re-open the football vs soccer war.
Earlier today I reverted an edit changing "soccer" to "football" in this article, with an edit summary that quoted policy - Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Football in Australia). User:Skyring (AKA Pete) reverted, saying "It's no longer 1960. "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.
I do not want another nasty fight. I submit that nothing has changed significantly enough in the past four years to cause the policy to change, and that User:Skyring is not editing in a cooperative way. HiLo48 (talk) 06:42, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
