(...) Um, yes, with some extra pieces. Get two of them, and the instructions has some hints on how to combine the two and the supplimental pack. Havn't done it myself (I bougt the field), but should make a small but playable field. (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.sports)

I was thinking of getting the Shoot and Score, since the board costs around $50. I have a question about it. Would I be able to expand the Shoot and Score if I bought just one of the football accesories packs? (That is, if I had two goals.) -- (...) (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.sports)

(...) Expanding on this point: In Australia "round ball football" is called Soccer universally. It is very popular with schoolkids and there is a national competition (see (URL) ). There are three other codes of football that have a major following (...) (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.sports, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Yes, it's great fun. One field becomes a bit too easy once you are used to it, 2 fields offer lots of possibilities including a "proper" 11 players per team setup, there has been some discussion of this over in loc.au. My 11 a side setup based (...) (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.sports)

The official name of the LEGO product line in Australia is "LEGO Football" and not "LEGO Soccer," and 2. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.sports, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Even here (Aus) the official theme name is still Football although all the Aus. AFOLs here on Lugnet refer to the sets as "soccer" in normal conversation. Lego Australia calls it Football, and so does the annual catalog. Deidre drb@tasmail.com (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.sports)

Hi! Does anyone actually play the Lego Football (i.e., having bought the large set, do you really use it to play a minifig-scale game of soccer)? If so, do the "kick" thingies really work? How well? Thanks, Franklin ===== Franklin W. Cain | (...) (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.sports)
