1.As far as associations/clubs/teams...what is the difference and how are these kinda things managed? Like england v. mexico...government based teams...?

His Reply: there are different levels of competition, one is national, the otehr international.the englaish national leagues are run by the English FA (Football Association) there are( best first) The Premiership, The championship, League1, League 2, The conference. The FA also manages the English national team. This is made up of all the ebst English players from around the world, these players can be playing in any league around the globe. The International tournaments are arranged by FIFA, the football world governing body.
