__Soccer__
Soccer is the largest international sport in the world. This sport is most common in Europe, however it is popular in all continents including South America, Africa, and Asia. Soccer was first played by the Japanese about 1000 BC. It wasnt officially called a sport until the year 611 AD by the Chineese. Soccer has simple rules and objectives. The main goal for soccer players is to put a ball in the opponents net by kicking or head butting the ball. Soccer is a team sport and also requires a defensive part in order to defend balls from being put into your teams own net. The concept of this game may seem simple, but the sport can get really competitive for soccer fans, and challenging for the players.
