Everyone, everyone, everyone

I am printing this material with the personal permission of my good friend from the People's Newspaper of Soviet Sports under the nickname parahodidet. I think the post will be of interest to Ukrainian football fans. Especially for those who like the intellectual program "What? Where? When?". So, the word is for the author of the Moscow television version of “What? Where? When?" questions on sports themes- a rarity. They didn't work out right from the start! Experts of the older generation testify: a long time ago a problem about Muhammad Ali was played in the club ... and literally on the eve of the broadcast, the editing cut out this minute of discussion for censorship reasons: great boxer publicly condemned the entry of Soviet troops into Afghanistan. Or here's another story: in 1979, a dachshund was dragged into the studio, a cage with a beaver was brought in, and experts were asked to complete this logical series. River dweller I didn’t like the discordant din and the light of the spotlights ... while a guess was being formulated around the spinning top about Olympic Bear, the beaver managed to bite through the brass bars of the cage and began to make attempts to get out into the wild ... the shooting had to be urgently interrupted.

But in the post-Soviet space there are several more Russian-language versions of the ChGK - Ukrainian, Belarusian, Azerbaijani. The most “democratic” is the Ukrainian one: along with high-browed intellectuals, “teams made up of stars of sports, politics, pop music, theater, television, etc. take part in it.” (as stated in the regulations). One of the most respected captains of the Kyiv club is, for example, Olympic medalist in hammer throw Alexander Krikun, and in right hand the well-known Alexei Mikhailichenko is usually located from him (for some time Oleg Blokhin also played with them).

I offer sports fans a small list of questions and answers played in neighboring countries in 2015.

Question: Some time ago, London City Hall set up unusual polling stations. The questions proposed are very different, for example in this paragraph - "Who is the best football player in the world - Ronaldo or Messi"? The city authorities expect that every fifth resident of the city will take part in the voting. Why did the city authorities begin to care who the best football player in the world is?

Answer: According to statistics, every fifth city dweller is a smoker. People at these points vote with cigarette butts - so the mayor's office reduces the amount of garbage on the streets.

Question: In 1925, the young ambitious coach Herbert Chapman came to the English football club The Arsenal. He told the management that even before the start of the championship of England, he would lift the club to the top of the table. What did Herbert Chapman change to fulfill his promise?

Answer: He removed the "The" prefix. Since all teams have zero points, they line up standings in alphabetical order, with "Arsenal" going first.

Question: In Spanish football there is a tradition - the clubs officially congratulate the winner of the championship. This year, a letter from Real Madrid came to Barcelona last. How else was this letter different from others?

Answer: Congratulating each other is a tradition, but no one obliges you to pay for postal services. Real Madrid sent the letter cash on delivery and Barcelona had to pay for all postage. Real Madrid made Barcelona twenty-four euros poorer.

Q: At the London Olympics on Sunday afternoon in 1908, runner Forest Simpson started with great reluctance, yet he won the race, set a record and became a champion. What did Forest Simpson, in protest, hold in his hand throughout the race?

Answer: The competition was held on Sunday. That's what Forest Simpson, the divinity student, didn't like. After all, Sunday should be dedicated to prayer! In protest, he went to the start with a Bible in his hands. With it, he ran the entire distance, finished and became a champion.

Q: West Ham have beaten Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool this season. At the same time, the club lost matches against Bournemouth and Watford. What is the nickname given to West Ham by English journalists in this regard?

Answer: West Ham defeated strong teams, took away points from them. And he lost to weak teams, i.e. gave points. English journalists compared West Ham to Robin Hood, who took money from the rich and distributed it to the poor.

Question: In 1984, a chess game began between the Soviet émigré Viktor Korchnoi and the famous Hungarian chess player Geza Maroczi. In February 1993, the Hungarian grandmaster admitted his defeat on the 48th move. This game, which lasted seven years, still causes heated discussions and many questions from experts. What essential role this part was played by musician Robert Rollans, who did not know how to play chess at all?

Answer: This game, which raises many questions, was played between Korchnoi and a Hungarian grandmaster who died thirty years before. Robert Rollans, who did not know how to play chess at all, played the role of a medium.

Question: At the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, in the 1500 meters race, an athlete from Luxembourg unexpectedly won. However, after the gold medal was awarded to him, the frustrated champion put his head in his hands and cried right on the pedestal. Who brought the new champion to such a breakdown?

Answer: Naturally, it accompanies the awarding Olympic champion national anthem. The victory of the Luxembourger was so unexpected that the organizers did not have a recording of the anthem. The musicians of the orchestra tried to save the situation - but they played the anthem so unsuccessfully that they brought the champion to tears! The correct answer is musicians.

Q: The great striker Gerd Müller used to hang portraits of famous football players at his home. Each photograph was accompanied by a data plate, and only under one portrait was the plate left blank. Which player's portrait was accompanied by this blank plaque, and why?

Answer: Striker Gerd Müller hung portraits famous goalkeepers, and on the plates wrote down the number of goals scored by him. Only under one photograph was the number "0" - under the image of LEV YASHIN.

Question: The organization of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 was not as perfect as it is today. For example, swimming competitions were held not in the pool, but in the open sea, where the athletes did not have separate lanes. At a distance of 100 meters, the Hungarian Alfred Hajos was in the lead, and his main pursuer was a Greek swimmer, whom the local public furiously drove to victory. Shortly before the finish line, the Hungarian lost his way and swam in the other direction, but was able to quickly orient himself and win. And how did he understand that he was swimming in the wrong place?

Answer: The Greek swimmer was loudly supported by the stands. The spectators, unlike the athletes, had a better view of the finish point. And when the Hungarian swimmer lost his way, the audience calmed down, thinking that now the Greek would definitely win. But the opposite happened - the Hungarian was embarrassed by the suspicious silence, he raised his head, swam in the right direction and won.

Question: Statistics, as they say, knows everything. In 1962, this happened four times: on September 24 - at the 4th minute of the match with Lokomotiv. October 15 - in the eighth minute of the match against Neftchi. October 9 - at the 53rd minute of the match against Torpedo. November 5 - at the 34th minute of the match against Spartak. What is this about?

Answer: We named the year for you, the months too. Dates are also known. We didn't tell you the days of the week! On these dates, on Mondays, at the indicated minutes, goals were scored by famous football player Victor Monday - Monday scored Monday!

Host: Good afternoon, Dear friends! Football has been the favorite game of boys for a hundred years now. In the dictionary, the word "football" is defined as a team sports game on a special site (field) measuring 100-110x64-75 m with gates 7.32x2.44 m; there are 11 players on the field in a team; the object of the game is to kick the ball with the feet or any other part of the body (except the hands) into the opponent's goal.

Football is a confrontation between two teams, it manifests strength, dexterity, speed, quick reaction. One of the best football players of our time, the Brazilian Pele, said: "Football is a difficult game, because it is played with the feet, but you have to think with your head."
One of the first references to kicking the ball dates back to 2000 BC. Chinese warriors used it to improve their physical form. In 1027-256. BC. kicking a leather ball stuffed with feathers and wool was a popular pastime in ancient China.

In 206 BC-220 AD this game must have been included in solemn ceremonies in honor of the emperor’s birthday, and it was called “zu-chu” (“ball hit by foot”)

In 221-207 AD. a ball appeared, inflated with air, gates and rules of the game, in which ^
was 25 points. Teams could have at least 10 players.

A similar game was known in ancient Egypt as early as 1900 BC.

In the IV century. BC. The ball game was also popular in ancient Greece.
Among the warriors of Sparta, a ball game was popular - "epykros" - it was played with both hands and feet. The Romans called this game "harpastum" - a hand ball, the game was distinguished * by cruelty.

Thanks to the Roman conquerors, the ball game became known in the British Isles in the 1st century AD. and quickly became popular with local residents. The cruelty in the game of the Romans was passed on to their followers. The English and the Scots played not for life, for death.

Sometimes the head of a murdered robber or servant served as a ball. On April 13, 1314, King Edward II, under pain of imprisonment, banned the game in the city. In 1365, King Edward III banned football because the troops preferred the game to the perfection of archery.

But the game became more and more popular, it was played by artisans, street vendors and noble aristocrats.

AT early XIX in. in the UK there was a transition from "crowd football" to f organized football. The first rules were developed in 1846 in Rugby School and approved in Cambridge two years later.

And in 1857, the world's first football club was organized in Sheffield. Six years later, there were already 7 clubs, and their representatives gathered in London to develop uniform rules of the game and organize a national football association.

There were 14 points in the rules. They strictly determined the size of the field (200x100 yards or 180x90 m) and the goal (8 yards - 7.32 m, remained unchanged).

Until the end of the XIX century. The English Football Association made a number of changes to the rules: the size of the ball was determined (1871); corner kick introduced (1872); since 1878 the judge began to use a whistle; in 1891, a net appeared on the gate and an 11-meter free kick began to break through.

In 1888, the first professional championship was held in England.
In 1896 on Olympic Games ah in Greece, a demonstration football tournament was held with the participation of three teams - the Danish national team and the Greek cities of Thessaloniki and Izmir. In the final, the Danes beat the Izmir team with a score of 15:0.
In 1908, football became the official sport of the Olympic Games.

Football was brought to Russia at the end of the 19th century. from the British Isles, they called it "English game in the air" or "kick ball". At first, the game was perceived as fun for the public. Here is how the reporter of the Petersburg Leaf newspaper describes his impressions on September 13, 1893: “The essence of the game is that one party of players tries to drive the ball, tossing it with their foot, head - with anything, but not with their hands - into the gates of the opposing party . The playing field was completely covered in mud. Gentlemen athletes in white suits ran through the mud, now and then flopping from full swing into the mud. There was incessant laughter in the audience.”

But gradually football conquered Russia. Teams were created, championships of St. Petersburg and Moscow were held, international matches, and in 1912 the Russian team for the first time participated in the Olympic Games, where they lost to the teams of Finland and Germany, although there were many talented players in it, but the team did not have a coach, and therefore it turned out to be unplayable.

Recent decades domestic football was aloof from the world, for many years the USSR national team did not participate in the World Championships and the Olympic Games. Only after the triumphant tour of the Dynamo (Moscow) team in Great Britain in 1945, the founders of football were amazed at the magnificent game of the Soviet masters. Already in next year The Soviet Football Federation became a member of FIFA (International Football Association), and in 1952 the USSR national team took part in the Olympic Games in Helsinki, where famous match with Yugoslavia, in which the USSR team lost 1:5, but managed to level the score 5:5. However, this impulse took a lot of energy and the next day in the replay the Soviet team lost 1:3. In 1956, 1960, 1988 the national team became the champion of the Olympic Games (Melbourne 1956, Seoul 1988) and won the European Cup (Paris 1960).

Soviet clubs won the Cup Winners' Cup three times: Dynamo (Kyiv, 1975, 1987) and Dynamo (Tbilisi, 1987). Three Soviet football players were awarded the Golden Ball the best football player years in Europe: Lev Yashin (1963), Oleg Blokhin (1975), Igor Belanov (1986).
