Football is the most played sport in the world.
Even centuries ago, foot-ball games were played, such as cuju in China, kemari in Japan, episkyros in Greece, harpastum in Rome, knattleikr in the Vikings, soule in France or calcio fiorimento in Italy.
But modern football was born in the 19th century. At the time, rugby and football were one and the same games. But some people preferred to play the min and others at the foot, so in 1863, Cambridge students decided to create the official rules of football, and that's how the two sports separated.
Now, there is a reason why this is the most played sport in the world. Everywhere, in Kenya, Malaysia or Russia, football is played. I like football and it's normal.
On a field, you are united with all the players because you have fun playing on a field with everyone, and we have the same goal: to put the ball in the goals. It develops our team spirit because it's a team game. When I go to the park and see people playing ball, I ask them if I can come and they tell me no problem. Whether poor or rich , English or Portuguese (the language does not matter), we can all play football.
And it's a creative thing, it's an art. In the field, you are free to do what you want as long as it does not break the rules. You can leave free fields to your body. And already in football, you can do many things: shoot, pass, lob, run, jump, receive, dribble ... it is a rich sport.
