THE BRITISH AND SPORT The British are known to be sport-lovers, so when they are neither playing, nor watching games, they like to talk about them. The English have a proverb, «All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.» They do not think that play is more important than work; they think that Jack will do his work better if he plays as well, so he is encouraged to do both. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL Many kinds of sport originated from Britain. Association football, or soccer is one of the most popular games in the British Isles played from late August until the beginning of May. WEMBLEY Wembley is a stadium in north London where international football matches, the Cup Finals and other events have taken place since 1923. It can hold over 100,000 spectators. The final of the football competition takes place every May here. HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SPORT IN BRITAIN? 1.Which sport do British people most enjoy watching on TV?

True fans will travel from one end of the country to the another to see their team play. FAMOUS FOOTBALL CLUBS There are plenty of professional and amateur soccer clubs all over Britain. Some of the best known clubs are Manchester United, Liverpool and the Arsenal. In Scotland either Rangers, Celtic or Aberdeen usually win the cup or the championship. MANCHESTER UNITED Клуб был сформирован под названием Newton Heath (Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway) группой рабочихжелезнодорожников Манчестера в 1878 году. В 1889 году они основали футбольный альянс, который в 1892 году вошел в состав футбольной лиги Англии. В 1902 клуб обанкротился, но был спасён Джоном Дэвисом, который погасил долги и изменил имя на Manchester United, поменяв и цвета команды с зелёного и золотого на красный и белый для того, чтобы походить на футбольный клуб Ливерпуль. Под новым именем клуб выиграл чемпионат Англии в 1908 году, а 26 апреля 1909 года и кубок Англии, победив в финале команду из Бристоля. В 1911 году Манчестер Юнайтед снова выиграл чемпионат Англии. LIVERPOOL Основан 15 марта 1892 Джоном Хоулдингом, владельцем стадиона «Энфилд». Команда была названа в честь города — «Ливерпуль». Уже через два года клуб состоял в английской футбольной лиге. С именем клуба связаны две величайшие трагедии в европейском футболе: на стадионе «Эейзель» 29 мая 1985 (погибло 39 зрителей) и на стадионе «Хиллсборо» 15 апреля 1989 (погибло 96 человек, 76 получили травмы). После «Эейзеля» английским клубам запретили участие в европейских турнирах на пять лет, а «Ливерпулю» на шесть. ARCENAL Футбольный клуб Арсенал базируется на севере Лондона. Клуб играет в Английской Премьер Лиге и является одним из самых успешных клубов Англии. Арсенал 13 раз становился чемпионом в Первом дивизионе и Английской Премьер Лиге, 10 раз выигрывал Кубок Англии. В Лиге Чемпионов команда не смогла достичь подобных успехов. Клуб был основан в 1886 году на юго-востоке Лондона, но в 1913 году команда переехала на стадион Хайбери в северной части британской столицы, который стал её домашней ареной вплоть до августа 2006 года, когда клубом был достроен новый 60-тысячник Эмирейтс. FOOTBALL POOLS The English have never been against a gamble. Since the war the most popular form of gambling no doubt that of staking a small sum on the football pools. The word «pool» is connected with the picture of streams of money pouring into a common fund, or «pool» from which the winners are paid after the firm has taken its expenses and profit. Those who do so receive every week from one of the pools firms a printed form; on this are listed the week s̓ ̓ matches. Against each match, or against a number of them, the optimist puts down a 1, a 2 or an x to show that he thinks the result of the match will be a home win, an away win or a draw. The firm is then posted to the pools firm, with a postal order or cheque for the sum staked. At the end of the week the results of the matches are announced on television and published in the newspapers and the «investor» can take out his copy of his coupon and check his forecast.
