Cap (sport)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A cap is an appearance for a select team, such as a school, county or international team in sports. The term dates from the practice in the United Kingdom of awarding a cap (meaning an item of headgear) to every player in an international match of Association Football; however, the act of awarding a cap is now international and is applied to other sports. The practice was first approved on May 10, 1886 for Association Football, after a proposal made by N. L. Jackson, founder of the Corinthians:

(на Родината) на международна среща по ... ІМО - capped се покрива с българското ИЗБРАН/ПРИЗВАН. Мнозина са звани, но малцина - ПРИЗВАНИ! Просто като разумно (и иска ми се да е "точно") предложение. Please, don't misunderstand my suggestion!
Christo Metschkaroff May 24, 2008:
Професионален подход: Г-жо Стоянова, така или иначе сте заложили Вашия отговор към г.п. въпрос. От професионална гледна точка (Вие сте професионал/ка ;-) - ) е по-добре да въведете професионалния термин - участие/играя в представителния ОТБОР
Atanas Dakov May 23, 2008:
I have not said the first one ... but I insist on the second one. You have said yourself "... where you represent your country" ?!?!
natasha stoyanova May 23, 2008:
There are no formal rules that say you must be playing on foreign soil when you represent your country or that you must be a member of the country’s national team in order to get “capped”.
Atanas Dakov May 23, 2008:
Мислех, че ще успшеете да направите аналогията и от този пример. Ще го кажа по-ясно тогава - мач между Бока Хуниорс и Манчестър Юнайтед е международен мач, но не е мач за националния/представителния отбор нито на Англия нито на Аржентина.
Emilia Delibasheva (asker) May 23, 2008:
В самото изречение е ясно, че става дума за Аржентина.
Atanas Dakov May 23, 2008:
Един мач между Манчестър Юнайтед и Динамо (Москва) е международен мач, но не е мач за националния/представителния отбор нито на Англия нито на Русия.
natasha stoyanova May 22, 2008:
n the “old” days (e.g., 1900), when a team would go (i.e., sail) to another country to play, the hosting team would give each member of the visiting team a brimmed hat as a symbol of goodwill. Today, caps are not exchanged, but the term “cap” continues to represent games against foreign teams, where you represent your country. There are no formal rules that say you must be playing on foreign soil when you represent your country or that you must be a member of the country’s national team in order to get “capped”.

Soccer Terminology: Caps

The term ‘cap’ is used to refer to a player’s appearance in an international game. So, one says that “Luis Figo has 80 caps” (which is quite a few, by the way). I’ve always wondered about the origin of the term, and I found it here:

43 Argentine caps = 43 участия в (мача за) националния отбор на Аржентина
Peer comment(s):

agree Christo Metschkaroff : По-добре е да кажете: Участвувал (играл) в 99 мача на националния отбор

Благодаря!
agree PMPT : "43 участия в (представителния) националния отбор на Аржентина", подразбира се, че срещите са с други държави, което и Наташа Стоянова е дала като определение съвсем вярно.
