Soccer!!!

Soccer is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players. It is very popular all over the world. It is played on a grass field with a goal at each end. People of various ages and skill levels can participate in soccer. It is great for fitness and cardiovascular health.

Almost every country has a professional league. In many countries, top international soccer players are very famous. However, in the past it wasn’t that popular. In 1994, when the World Cup Soccer Competition happened in America, people didn’t show much interest in it. Many people said that soccer was boring. Nobody thought Americans’ attitudes towards soccer could change one day. In 1999, when the Women’s World Cup was played in the U.S., there was more interest in it than ever before. Gradually, soccer has become very popular in the U.S.

For elementary school children in America, soccer is now the number one sport after basketball. More and more kids prefer to play soccer today. Many coaches believe that soccer can also be a great sport for kids who don’t have high levels of athletic ability if they want to participate in a team sport.
