Soccer Fever!

 Everyone asks, how did soccer start? Who came up with it? This is how soccer began. It has been said that the Romans and ancient Greeks played many ball games that involved using their feet. Perhaps the earlier version of soccer were played as far back as the second century BC where the Chinese would play a rather dull kicking game, but not for fun.

Many warriors including ancient Greeks would use soccer related game game in preparation for battle. Back then soccer would be called Choule. The first international game was played between England and Scotland in 1872. The game became very popular in Europe and soon spread to different parts of the world.

According to reports, soccer was first played in the USA in 1827, but it was once again played between college teams on bloody Monday and fists were also used. The American Soccer League was established in 1921 and soon started to become even more popular. In modern times the American soccer league has started to attract well known talented players, like David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. 

Kids around the world and even grownups started playing soccer for fun, soon it was on National television, Soccer is one of the best sports on earth and is enjoyed by many people including me.
