    Wait, you’re telling me a football field is approximately one football field in size?

      Association football fields actually have some flexibility in dimensions (less so for international play), so the 110x50 meter dimension of an NFL field would actually work for soccer

      Another fun fact: the rules allow the goal lines to be a maximum of 90m, and the touch lines to be a minimum of 90m, so theoretically a square field could be legal
