[@lucianobatteri]

00:13 "It's on sidelines in Italy", isn't it? No, Italian football and Italian teams aren't sponsored by Gazprom. That picture shows SSC Napoli's striker Arkadiusz Milik. SSC Napoli is an Italian team but during Serie A games you cannot see those sidelines. This picture was taken on 10th December (Napoli-Genk 4-0, hat trick for Milik) because it was the only match-day he managed to score during this Champions League campaign until now. In fact, Gazprom is Champions League's official sponsor, just like other trademarks, such as Heineken and Mastercard. In the same way, you can't find Mastercard and Heineken watching an Italian championship game. The phrase "It's on sidelines in Italy", generally speaking, implies that we're talking about Serie A and not only Champions League games played in Italy (Champions League sponsors are shown everywhere, also in Cyprus or Azerbaijan if teams like Apoel or Qarabag are qualified for the tournament). This is just an example of how approximately this video was made.

[@blanco7726]

Rob because American Football is a variant of Rugby Football (now just called rugby). Both rugby and soccer were called “football” before the creation of their respective official rules, since they both involved kicking a ball with feet back then (but also carrying the ball with hands). Sometime in the mid 1800s, an official Football association (FA) was created, which made it illegal to carry the ball in your hands and to tackle your opponent. Thus “association football” (soccer) was created, which followed the rules of the FA and rugby football which stayed closer to the original rules. Eventually rugby football spread to the US and they changed the rules a bit and created their own sport “american football”.

5:44 that does not mean "we're giving gas to Schalke" that's completely wrong. "Gas geben" means to put effort in something. It's comes from cars, "gas geben" there means to "speed up". It also says "auf Schalke". That doesn't mean "to" but "at". So yeah it's kind of a nice wordplay but it doesn't mean "we're giving gas to Schalke".

@@MultiEpicFailer It technically is, but a think most European football fans think of a league when they hear "championship" (maybe even the English second division specifically, literally called "Championship".

If you win the German cup, well then you're just the German cup winner. So, you are technically right but people have different connotations.

​@@Popupshisha Sorry, I phrased my comment the wrong way. Estonia does not produce all of its energy. However, most of the energy the country uses is produced in the country of Estonia. Also, Estonia is a big exporter of energy and produces lots more than they would ever need for the country. This means that they are energy independent and therefore do not depend on Russian gas. Yes, the country of Estonia does use some Russian natural gas, but they are definitely not dependent on it. EDIT: Estonia is a net exporter of energy -> they do not depend on Russia.
