Football video help and stuff

Hello.

I am going to start making football videos.

Can anyone recommend good software I can download for free, and places where I can get match footage from?

I'm hoping to build up a portfolio in case any Uni's require it, as I'm looking to do a Media Course and all I'll have is my media coursework

You're looking to study in media but you don't know any software that can record match footage?

Well, I haven't been taught which software can record match footage in Media, so no.
