There is widespread participation in sports
in Britain.
Football, the most popular sport in England
as well as Europe, has its traditional home in England where it was developed in
the 19th century.For those of you who
are not from England
yet love the best league, i.e. premier league. Here is something we should
know. The country is called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland. But it seems the league is just played in the Great Britain part. Like Bale is
not in the league but he is in the England national football team.
Speaking of which, their national anthem is God Save the Queen. There is three
political division on Great Britain,
namely England, Scotland and Wales. London
being its capital city yet is not that prominent in football world not like Manchester. Britain
has a very favorable climate which may be why their Football Shirt
has sleeves whereas the players’ uniforms in NBA don’t.
The climate is called maritime climate, which means winters are not too cold
and summers are not too hot. Not to mention its steady reliable rainfall
throughout the whole year. And sometimes they don’t cancel a match just because
it’s raining! Although in this season the 2011 winter snow did the league some
trouble. But even though the north Atlantic drifts passes the western coast of
the British Isles and warms them, so I guess
it’s not that cold.
Britain
has a population of about 62 million and most of them are football fans. And
they differ after their ancestors. The ancestors of the English are
Anglo-Saxons and the Scots, Welsh and Irish are Celts. It is said they
difference in character so you might want to know not to bet against. The Welsh
are emotional and cheerful people. They are music lovers and are proud of their
past. They may not behave badly even after their team lost. The Scots are said
to be a serious, cautious and thrifty people, so maybe they will Premier League Shirts save their money and not spent it placing bets. They are also said
to be hospitable, generous and friendly. Maybe they will throw a house party
and sit around watching matches live on TV. The Irish are charm and vivacity.
But this is just some general research and may not apply to individuals. Also
they tall differently, southerners speak the type of English close to what we
call BBC English whereas in northern England regional speech is usually
broader. Like all teams are comprised of people from different nations, the
origin of the nation is also broad.
By the way, players often injured and Britain
being a welfare state is really helping. Not that any famous stars have trouble
paying but it’s good for normal football lovers. The system is funded out of
national insurance contributions and taxation. In Britain the term applies mainly to
the national heath service which provides Man U Kitsfor every resident, regardless
of income, a full range of medical services. The service was established in the
United Kingdom in 1948 and
over 82 percent of the cost of the health service in Great Britain is funded out of
general taxation. I don’t remember seeing any footballer wearing glasses though
and do u know that sight test is free to children. The National Health Service
is the largest single employer of labour in UK. It has suffered from under
funding in recent Rooney
shirt decades, as a result many better-off
people have been turning to private medical health care. So it is not likely
for people to just run into some superstar in a hospital.
