Hi there RUSSELL, VASCO here,
please, i have been keeping coherence and putting that info in EVERY Spanish club i edit - the link List of football clubs in Spain hidden by "Spanish football club" (don't know who came up with that idea, i'm just following suit). Please allow it to stay in the article's intro, please, for coherence purposes.

- Found out that some Spanish clubs (i don't edit in bigger clubs like Barcelona, Madrid or Valencia to name some because they're changed all the time, not worth the trouble) indeed have the link Association football attached to them, and indeed the reasoning in your last summary is quite coherent (name of WP article).
However, if you choose to revert me, please link "Spain" as well as "Ass.football" please. Cheers! - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 02:25, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Very good discussions going on all over the talk pages about this very subject. It is interesting how the term association football is used in almost every article about English soccer clubs but for Spanish clubs there does not seem to be consistency. I think the crucial considerations are inclusivity and ambiguity of language that we use as Wikipedians. I suspect that other football codes are not popular in Spain, although I'm sure I remember seeing Spain play in the Rugby Football World Cup some time ago. If this is the case then it might expalin why there is no reason to distinguish the code from the point of view of Spanish writers. On the other hand, the page may be read by individuals who are not familiar with football being used to mean soccer and will need some attempt on the part of the writers to meet them in creating a shared understanding.
