American Football

Sport in the USA is very noisy and colourful. Football is one of the major sports in the USA. In Britain and elsewhere the game is often called American football to distinguish it from soccer. American football developed from the games of football and rugby. The game is played by two teams of 11 players each. The ball is oval shaped and sometimes called a pigskin because the balls were formed made from pig’s skin.

The National Football league has 30 professional teams. Six teams in the American Football Conference and six in National Football League which play against each other to decide the two that will meet in the Super Bowl.

Американський футбол

Спорт в США є дуже шумним і барвистим. Футбол є одним з основних видів спорту в США. У Великобританії та інших країнах гру часто називають «американський футбол», щоб відрізнити його від футболу. Американський футбол розвинувся з таких ігор як футбол і регбі. У цю гру грали дві команди по 11 гравців у кожній. М’яч ‒ овальної форми, якого іноді називають «свиняча шкіра», тому що м’ячі були сформовані та зроблені зі шкіри свині.

Національної футбольна ліга має 30 професійних команд. Шість команд в американській футбольній конференції і шість в Національній футбольній лізі, грають один проти одного, щоб визначити дві, які зустрінуться в Суперкубку.
