Hi again, Dean! :)

We've come upon an great opportunity in terms of updating this wiki for World Cup! It turns out there's another English-language football wikia out there: w:c:football-database. In just a year, they've managed to come up with almost as many pages as this wikia, and they're actually attracting more visitors on a weekly basis than you. They also have about 40 times the editing activity as this wikia. Luckily their information largely compliments yours. You seem to be focused on teams and history; they on current clubs, players and stadiums, so the two wikias don't actually conflict with each other.

But you have the more obvious name for a football site — it doesn't get any simpler than football.wikia.com and soccer.wikia.com.

If you guys merged, the total amount of football information that could be provided to the English-speaking community would be greatly enhanced. Obviously, we'd want to keep your URLs going. And we'd not require you to do anything to make the merger happen. The admin from football-database would be helping me rectify things, but most of the heavy lifting would actually be done by bot. And you'd be gaining a more active user base.

We think it's a great idea, and a great way to make the World Cup more special in pour football community. What do you think?
