Women's soccer
The section on the history of women's soccer is quite poor and could a major overhaul. It contains a lot of narrative, seems to be mostly the author's random opinions. I don't think there is more than one citation in the whole section. Barryjjoyce (talk) 01:49, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Louisiana, 1858
No way working class immigrants written of by Crawford were playing anything that could arguably be said to have been soccer in the 1850s or even the 1860s. They played folk football. Closest modern game to those folk football games would be Gaelic football. You don't get to count all folk football from the British Isles before soccer as soccer, else Gaelic football could be said to be soccer-derived. The game popular in the New York metro area then was one of these types of folk football, and that's the game that was played between Rutgers and Princeton in 1869. Soccer didn't seriously displace local forms of football even in England for years after the founding of the FA. 24.115.43.141 (talk) 16:58, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

What is supposed to be signified by the tan highlight that is different from the green highlight? Aren't they all "folded leagues" except for MLS?--Khajidha (talk) 15:23, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
