P136 Soccer - practice 5


Soccer

Soccer is truly the world’s most popular sport. Since the game began in England about 150 years ago, it has spread to every corner of the globe. Millions of people go to soccer stadiums to watch their favorite team while millions more watch on television. One reasons of soccer’s popularity may be it economy and simplicity. Anyone can afford to play because it doesn’t require expensive equipment and has simple rules. Soccer is the number one sport in most of the world. It isn’t the most popular sport in North America. Ice hockey is the favorite in Canada, and American football is the favorite in United States. However, soccer is gaining new players and fans in those countries too.
