Soccer is played worldwide by more than 1.5 million teams and 300,000 clubs. An amazing eight ‘out of ten people in the world watch the World Gup. It is, as the great Brazilian soccer player Pelé described it, “the beautiful game.” Andrew Hunt reports, How soccer began As far back as 2500 8ce the Chinese played a ‘kicking game called tsu chu. Similar games were played by the Romans and North American Indians. In England in medieval times “mob soccer” was wildly popular. In 1583, Philip Stubbs | said of soccer players: | “sometimes their necks are broken, sometimes their backs, sometimes their legs, sometimes their arms.” By the mid-19th century, with the help of English public schools, the game had become less violent. Each school had different rules for playing the game. Problems arose when boys from the different schools went to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and wanted to continue playing. This is from the description of a match played in Cambridge in 1848: “.. The result was chaos, as every man played the rules he had been accustomed to at his school.” Itbecame common to play half a match by ene side's rules, the second half by the other's. That's how halftime came about. However, this was not good enough for the university men. They decided to sort out the rules once and for al. On Monday, October 26, 1863, they met in London. By the end of the day they had formed the Soccer Association, and a Book of Lawss was on its way. The sticking point wasBeautiful Game whether a player could pick up the ball and run with it or not, and this was not decided until December 8.

Many of the world’s leading players have come from simple lifestyles to play on the world stage. They have been snapped up by important European teams after making their mark at home. Brazil has won the World Cup five times, Uruguay three times, and Argentina twice. Brazil and Argentina are soccer rivals. In fact, many Brazilians cheered for Germany in the finals of the 2014 World Cup. Is the only continent where soccer has become more popular with females than males, In 1991, the U.S. won the first Women’s World Cup and then again in 1999 and 2015. Interest among American men has been ‘growing since the World Cup in Los Angeles in 1994, and more recently since the arrival of international stars such as David Beckham. Asia: Over the past iwo decades, heated rivalry among Japan, China, and South Korea has increased the passion for soccer across the continent, especially after Japan and Korea co-hosted the World Cup in 2002. However, not all Asian countries share the passion: India and Pakistan prefer cricket. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar have lately been investing huge sums of money in soccer. They've hired the best players and coaches that money can buy. Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 World, Cup will be very important for Middle Eastern soccer. alia: Sports in Australia have long been dominated by cricket, rugby, and surfing.
