+1. To all those who expressed there idea that soccer should be tagged
sport=football in this thread: please don't ignore the wiki,
applications and render rules. By looking at all of these it should
become obvious that soccer is the preferred tag (also by numbers where
soccer is used more than 10 times as often as football).
