“Some people believe that soccer is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with that attitude, it is much, much more important
than that!” Billy Shankey soccer fun.

Soccer is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world. Soccer or football is a very likable sport in Europe, Latin America and Africa. According to a history of soccer website, almost 150 years have passed since soccer was officially born in a Tavern, in London. In such a short period of time, soccer went from a local phenomenon around England, to an international game that is watched and loved by close to 3 billion people worldwide. FIFA (Federation International Football Association) is responsible for the organization and governance of football’s international tournaments.
UK, Italy, and Spain have strong soccer teams. The players come from different parts of the world. Most professional players are paid a big amount of money. I have liked to watch soccer since I was a child. Italy, Brazil, Ghana, Cameron and Nigeria are my favorite teams. The U.S. men’s soccer team has been improved in short period of time. Soccer has steadily grown in popularity in America. The U.S. Soccer team is now ranked 15th in the FIFA world ranking. The U.S. soccer team will participate in the next World Cup.
