Ancient Chinese,Roman.and Egyptian writings tell about games played by kicking a ball.We also know that in the twelfth century, in some English towns,on Certain days of the year.hundreds of young men would kick a ball around the streets.Unfortunately,fighting often resulted.People were hurt and even killed.In l314.such games were not allowed because they were too dangerous.
The game we now know as football developed in England in the early nineteenth century.Football was played in many schools and clubs as early as l823.These schools and clubs often had different rules.but in l 863.the Football Association of “FA” was created,and standard rules were agreed for everyone to follow.These are the rules that many parts of the owrld use for football today.In l871,a cup Was given for the best English club,called the FA Cup.Football soon spread acrous the world.
In the United States and Canada, however, a different type of football game developed,where the players could pick the ball up and carry it.The ball is also in a different shape. In American football there is also more violent contact between players,who have to wear special clothing to protect themselves.
Football is flow certainly the most popular game on earth.Why is that? One reason may be that a more relaxing game like football Can be enjoyed by.just a few people of any age,on any-piece of ground or even in the street. All they need is a ball,and a few things to mark the goals(比分).Another reason may be that,although football is a team game,it also allows people to show their special skills.Some footballers become very rich and famous,like David Beckham,who now plays for Real Madrid.For this reason,many young people dream of becoming football stars and getting very rich.Television too has undoubtedly made football more popular.Millions of people Call watch international matches such as the World Cup,which is held every four years.
