__History of Soccer__
The idea of kicking a round ball into an area restriced by posts has been around for nearly 3000 years. In 1004, the sport as we know today called soccer, was being introduced in Japan. The first first known soccer game ever played was between China and Japan in the year 611 AD. During the time of the Roman Empire, soccer was also being played between two teams of 27 men. The style of soccer that was being played was very aggressive, and many of the players suffered injuries every game. During the early 14th century, soccer was banned in England. This was because King Edward believed that the high level of engery of the game of soccer was a source of evil.

It was not until the year 1681 when soccer was finally legalized in England. From there on soccer had been emerging rapidly in popularity. The game was played much more intensly especially in the 1800's. Middle England had rivalry games against Northern England every year. Large amounts of fans would rally and rampage in the towns of England in hype of soccer games. In the early 1800's soccer didnt have many rules and it was rather chaotic when the game was being played. As British academes got involved in the sport, rules began to emerge and the game as we know it today eventually formed. Nonetheless, the game of soccer had always been very entertaining for billions of fans around the world.
