How soccer began:

As far back as 2500 BCE the Chinese played a kicking game called tsu chu. Similar games were played by
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 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”

It became common to play half a match by one side’s rules, the second half by the other’s. That’s how
half time came about. However, this was not good enough for the university men. They decided to sort out
the rules once and for all.

On Monday October 26,1863, they met in London. By the end of the day they had formed the Soccer
Association, and Book of laws was on its way. The sticking point was whether a player could pick up the
ball and run with it or not, and this was not decided until December 8. From this decision the games of
both Soccer and Rugby were born.
Europe is home to the world’s richest professional teams: Manchester United, AC Milan,
FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayren Munich. These teams are famous in many countries around the world.
Only 1% of Manchester United’s fans are from the UK, and there are 131 Real Madrid fan clubs outside of
Spain!

South America has produced some of the most exciting soccer on earth. 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 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 finals
of the 2014 World Cup

North America is the only contient where soccer has become more popular with females than [Link] 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 two decades, heated rivalry among Japan, China, and South Korea has increased the
passion for soccer across the contient, 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
The Middle East: countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar have lately have been investing huge
sums of money in soccer. They’ve hired the best players and coaches that money can buy. Qatar’s
hosting of 2022 World Cup will be very important of Middle Eastern soccer.

Australia: Sports in Australia have long been dominated by cricket, rugby, and surfing. However, since they
qualified for the 2006 World Cup, Australians have become much more interested in the game.

Africa has produced a number of soccer superstars, but many of them have been lost to the rich
European teams. Africa is rich in talent, with thousands of gifted young players dreaming of big-time
soccer. South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 World Cup was very important for African soccer.
