I'm with Lokomotiv. I'm glad to see them reach the top of the table. I only wish I could see some of their goals.
Оля, думаю, что вы раньше знала сайт, чтобы смотреть голы локомотива? К сожалению, теперь это сайт мёртвый. Вы знаете дгугой сайт?
Посмотри здесьQuote:

That is exactly what i saw recently in Australia. Football always meant Rugby or Australian Rules Football and Soccer meant Soccer there until just recently when the Australian soccer team (big joke) actually had a shot at the World Cup. Things are changing now with all the soccer maniacs arriving in Australia.
Sadly, gone are the days when no "true blue" Aussie would be caught dead with a soccer ball!!!!!!! :roll:

Probably they try to "usurp" it because soccer IS real football. They DO play kicking the ball with their feet, while in Rugby and American football players mostly run holding the ball in hands. :lol:Quote:

Apparently you are right about this. However, both soccer and rugby came from the same game of football which split apart forever in 1863. Soccer fans are still trying call their version of football as "Football" when it is really just a generic term for any football. They want to hang on to this name as though they are the sole originators, though Rugby and Soccer football both originated equally.
Well, i won't let them do it!

But now, football was divided into two separate camps. Some colleges and schools preferred to follow rules drawn up by Rugby School - rules which permitted tripping, shin-kicking and carrying the ball - all forbidden by the Cambridge rules.
On 26 October 1863, eleven London clubs and schools sent their representatives to a meeting in the Freemason's Tavern to establish a single set of fundamental rules to govern the matches played amongst them.
This meeting created The Football Association.
The supporters of the Rugby School rules walked out - and On 8 December 1863, Association Football and Rugby Football finally split.
Hey now, so you quoted it yourself! Football was the original game and Rugbyites peeled of to create their own game. You are just a bunch of splitters! And you want to drag the name "football" with you! Well, I won't let you!Quote:
