This summer, Chloe was almost sent away to soccer camp. And as some of you might already know, Chloe is not the most sporty person on earth. So, even though Chloe didn't end up having to go, I still thought we should educate us all on soccer at its finest throughout the years.
Soccer has not changed much since it was first invented in 1863. At that point the game we know as soccer, more commonly known as Football, was developed and laws of the game had been ruled. There was even a "Football Association". The "Football Association" is more commonly known as Federation Internationale de Football (International Federation of Football) or the acronym FIFA. The FIFA World Cup competion is held every four years. The event is the most widely veiwed in the world. It has an audience twice the size of the one for the Summer Olympic Games. That said, soccer is said to be the most popular sport in the world. It started in England and still most fans sit in England. There are 17 "Laws of the Game" in football. A bit odd, right? But anyway, next time you kick your soccerball around in the backyard remember this history, and please, thank England for giving us this great game.
Thanks for reading! Please check out our weekly poll and slideshow!
