1. Football
The full name is "Association Football", that is, football played according to the rules of the Football Association (FA). However, this ' name is used only in official contexts, where it is necessary to distinguish it from Rugby football (see No. 2 below). In everyday speech and writing simply "football" is used, or, in contrast to Rugby, "soccer". Football is one of the most popular games,
perhaps the most popular. The football season
in Britain starts in the early autumn, and
lasts until the late spring. Most matches are
played on Saturday afternoons.
Here1 are some expressions connected with
football which often occur in conversation and
writing:
The FA League
an association of all the professional clubs, which are arranged in divisions (the first/second/third/fourth division, the first being the top one) according to their results in the previous season, and play matches against other teams in their division. The team with the best results throughout the season becomes top of the League. The FA Cup
a cup awarded to the team who wins the competition organized by the Football Association. It is a knock-out competition, that is, it consists of a series of rounds, in which the losers are eliminated (knocked out) and the winners go on to the next round, until the final, when there are only two teams left. The day of the Cup Final, or Cup Final day, always a Saturday in the spring, is a great day for football fans, and even those who do not usually take much interest in football often become infected with the general excitement. The match is held at Wembley Stadium, in London, and the Cup is presented by the Queen. The World Cup
a cup awarded to the winner of the international football competition. The (football) pools
are a form of betting based on the results of football league matches. One fills in a form, or coupon, predicting the results of the coming Saturday's matches, and sends it off, with a small sum of money (called a stake). Money prizes, called dividends, are paid to those who send in correct, or the most nearly correct, forecasts. As little or no skill is involved in forecasting the results, but simply guess-work, it is in effect rather like a lottery. "(Football) pools" (always plural) is used in such sentences as:
a) John's father does the (football) pools every week, but he never wins anything.
b) A lot of people dream about what they would do if they won the (football) pools.
2. Rugby (football)
Rugby may now be written with a capital or a small letter. As most people know, rugby, or rugby football, as it is called in full, is derived from "ordinary" football. As the game was invented, or reinvented, at Rugby School, which is a public school, it is traditionally played at public schools and other secondary schools which are considered superior in some way (e. g. many grammar schools). This means that rugby is generally considered to be socially superior to soccer. There are two types of rugby: Rugby Union
the original version, with a team of 15, and
played only by amateurs. Rugby League
introduced later and especially popular in
the north of England. It has a team of 13 • and is played also by professionals, which
means that it is considered to be socially
inferior to Rugby Union.
"Ruggeri" is widely used in colloquial English instead of "rugby (football)".
