Hehe nice. I think the picture is from Western Ukraine, at least when I went visiting there in May, we drove by something that looked the same, even took some pictures. It's a promo thing for Ukraine/Poland Euro 2012 I believe...
Speaking of which, soccer fails because American's already have a pitch, thrown by a pitcher, in a game that isn't football, which isn't the same football the world plays anyways.

All the "football" sports and rugby originated out of the same sport. "Football" is simply bestowed upon the version of the sport that dominates a particular area. The versions come from the time that people decided to make real rules for the game. They disagreed about what those rules shoud be; hence, Rugby Football, Association Football, and Gridiron (American) Football evolved out of disagreements.
For your information, Association Football is most often referred to as "football" throughout the world. For your further information, the name "soccer" evolves from "Association Football" and originated in England.
Association --> Soc --> Soccer
American soccer is not as good because Association Football is not the dominant football in America. Plain and simple. To each their own.
