Thread: Футбол: международный язык (По анг. - Football!)

Мы с Олей уже говорили немножко про эту тему. Она loco за Локо, а я за Хартс. Кстати, Оль, ты слышала последние результаты? Мы одержали победу над Ренджерс 4-2! Я был в шоке!

Отзовитесь! Жители Мастер-Рашн, вы за какой клуб и почему?

What's your favorite football (not gridiron football) team and why?

Обзовитесь - это немного другое..

Неужели кто-то в Шотландии может Ренджерс победить?

Селтик может. Он мой любимый Спартак даже выбил .

P.S. К сожалению, кроме Рейнджерс, Селтика и Хартса больше шотландских клубов я не знаю...хотя что-то ещё слышал про Абердин.

Arsenal FC has been my favorite club since 1998. Don't know why. It just happened so. I watched a few Arsenal games on ESPN in 1998, saw Dennis Bergkamp was part of the team, and became an Arsenal fan.

That's a good choice. I'm not a fan, but I like Arsenal. They have a great tradition, and a reputation for very precise, high-quality football.

I can't explain why I like Hearts, exactly, except that I saw them on TV once in their derby versus Hibernian. Not only did I love Hearts, but I hated Hibs, which makes me a Jambo through and through.

I understand Dennis Bergkamp, he hated the airplanes too! He is an allied soul for me!!

Well, the "non-flying Dutchman" may have retired but he probably still hates flying. Actually, I don't like flying either.

He's your kindred spirit you mean

Vadim, это писал не Матроскин!

(Он бы не написал "allied soul" )

Oops, I forgot to change "Matroskin Kot" into "Оля". You see, I opened the "post a reply" page in offline, pressing the "quote" button near the first post of the topic. It's more convenient for me since I have a dial-up Internet connection (through a dial-up modem). I'm not sure our foreign friends have any idea what a dial-up connection is

Soccer! Pfff!
Why don't you play a real man's game Aussie Rules Football? Yeah that's right, once you have picked up that ball with your hands and booted the piss out of it you will never go back "soccering" the ball along the ground.

Fine, but you didn't answer the question! What's your favorite (non-gridiron) football team, and why? If you prefer Aussie Rules, tell us about it!

Edit: PS - "Soccer" is not a verb!

The fourth link I posted explains the field and rules in detail.

I like it because there is no feeling like your foot feels when punting the ball as hard as you can and then watching it fly through the sky. Plus it is fast to watch ....not like Gridiron which stops and starts.

PS Soccering the ball (kicking the ball before picking it up), though legal is sort of frowned upon. Yeah, we use it as a verb!
