Football Pitch Field Size

Football is a popular game here in Malaysia and people do get crazy for it. They love it! There's several types of football lover here and i'll put it in 3 different types.

1. Those who like to watch only.

2. Those who like to watch and does play football (so they claim to know more bout football than the 1st type).

3. Fanatics. Those who dig deeply into the clubs history and able to remember the whole damn players since the club is born.

These type that i've categories might not match perfectly to what we have here in Malaysia but it's close to the real situation.

Ok, so ... about football field. They ARE built in different sizes. Even those from type 2 football lover would made a silly statement of ALL FOOTBALL STADIUM FIELD ARE IN THE SAME SIZE!

Here i attached with some facts of different pitch sizes across europe. I strongly urge people to read up more before making any statement.
