rugby and american football are very similar sports but are also quite different. in both sports, there are competing teams whose goal is to cross the opposing team's goal line with an oval ball or kick it through goalposts. the team that does not have control of the ball tries to get the ball by tackling or taking the ball away to prevent their opponent from scoring. some of the main differences are the number of players on the field, the type of equipment used, as well as the amount of points awarded for scoring.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
