Roy, you must be VERY young. USSR has been a soccer power ever since it
entered the international competition in 1952 or so. In fact, if one were
to rank countries based on their performance in the past 40 years, one
would rank them something like this:

1. Brazil, 2. Germany, 3 Argentina, 4.Italy, 5. Holland, 6. England  7. USSR, 
8-9 Poland, France, 10-11 Uruguai, Hungary, 12-14 Spain, Portugal, Yugoslavia,
etc.

Did I miss somebody?

In any case, the Soviets have also been probably the best team in European
Championships. Their record:

1960 - 1st place
1964 - 2nd place
1968 - 4th place (in semifinal tied hometeam Italy 0-0, lost on coin toss)
1972 -  2nd place
1976 - I do not know. However, given the fact that Dynamo Kiev was the most
     dominant team in World Soccere that year, I presume they did very well.
1980 - I do not know. Probably not too well.
1984 - Not in the top 8.
1988 - 2nd place.

In World Cup:

1962 - quaterfinal (5th-8th place)
1966 - bronze (4th place)
1970 - quaterfinal (5th-8th place)
1974 - boycotted Chile, did not play
1978 - did not qualify
1982 - quaterfinal (5th-8th place)
1986 - 1/8 final (9th-16th place)
1990 - lost in group play (17 - 24)

Yea, right. I bet when they won European Championships or when Dynamo Kiev
won Supercup, or when htey trounced the Italians and Hungarians and won
Bronze in WC 66, the soccer powers did not even notice them. :-) Or, maybe,
by "soccer powers" you mean your family and friends? :-)

Since when one of the eight best teams in the World, a three-time Olympic
Champion, a European Champion, a bronze medalist in World Cup does not even
deserve to be called " a competitive soccer entity"? :-) 
If pre-late 80s Russia is not " a competitive soccer entity" in your book,
then what are countries like Italy, France and Yugoslavia, which have
almost always been losing to USSR over many decades, called in your book? 
"Countries that have never heard of soccer"? 

If the best socer powers are not "competitive" in your book, which are the
"competitve soccer entities" to you? USA? Mexico? Honduras? Albania? :-)

Of course, given the country's size, the Soviets sure could have done
better...

  Well, while we're comparing apples and oranges, we might consider the
  following.  The world's game (soccer/football whatever) is a contact sport.
  Speed, agility, stamina, skill, teamwork.   American football is a collision
  sport.  Brute strength, muscle, bursts of energy and speed for a short
  period of time short length from a standing start.  Athletes must train
  differently to prepare for their sport.  In american football, interior
  linesmen are bulked up for explosive strength off the line - pass receivers
  muscles are elongated for speed and endurance as well as for strength to
  receive a punishing tackle.  Speed, quickness, agility, mental alertness,
  endurance is required of the soccer player.  The point is - you really can't
  compare the training regime - two different sports - two different (too
  different?) modes of training.  I would never tell a soccer player to play
  football for an 'off-season' sport.  Rather, I'd tell him to take up 
  swimming or long distance running - to smooth and elongate the muscles and
  build up speed, endurance, and stamina.  

  One of the main problems we have in the U.S. is the 'unlimited substitution'
  allowed.  Which means a player can be substituted out of the game - rest -
  and go back in.  At the very young 'youth' level - and 'high school' level
  this is OK to give all players a chance to play - but when these kids get
  to competitive international levels - they are lacking the endurance and
  stamina to play 90 minutes of soccer without substitution.  This is a 
  general observation made by the youth national team coaches.  

  Someone told me how high schools pick their soccer players and their football
  players.  All the kids assemble on the field - the coaches tell them to
  go way out into the woods.  Then they are told to run back onto the field.
  All the kids that run AROUND the trees go to the soccer team.  All the kids
  that run INTO the trees go to the football team.  :-)  :-)

Obviously then it had different titles in different countries - this is not
uncommon. For instance the movie "Airplane" is also called "Flying High" in
some parts of the world.
Anyway we all know the movie - its the one with Stallone making a hash at
playing football!

Great win for Limerick though as from sspeaking to people from home we
were only sending up a scratch side.  I suspect Monaghan did not bring
up some of their Dublin players.

As I know, this China team is not real national team.
China has a national team and a olimpic team (22 years old and under). The
olimpic team is belived the best team in china. But they just narrowly
lost in the qualification games to enter Becelona. 

The team is the combination of two chinese division A teams without the
players which play in the national teams mentioned above.

 Completely wrong.  They had there full lineup and the US was missing

  England will have 2 teams in the 1992-93 UEFA Cup.

  I believe the English FA decided that the 2 places would be 2nd place
in the league and the winner of the Rumbelow's League Cup.  Since
Man. Utd. won the cup and they are almost assured of finishing in the
top 3, this means that the 2nd UEFA position will go to the team
finishing 3rd in the league.

  If the League Table finishes as it is today (here's hoping!), i.e.
LEEDS UNITED
Man Utd
Sheffield Wed.

then LEEDS would go to the European Cup, and Man Utd and Sheffield Wed.
to the UEFA Cup. (Winner of L'pool/S'land to CWC)

By the way, could somebody tell me what is the minimum size of the field
required for both international and first class (English League) games.
I am a little curious, since we have started playing in a league and I get
tired soon even though I believe that the ground is much smaller than what
they use for real games.
Thanks in advance.

A couple more tv things came to mind.

There was play, I think a tv version was made, called "Zigger Zagger" and I
think it came out in the 70s.

Another tv series, adapted from a novel, was about some Scousers. My memory
seems to think it was called either "A pair of jesus boots" or just "jesus
boots" (jesus boots = sandals)

But then can we trust my 8K memory? I think I need an upgrade - 2Meg would
be useful  :-)
