Soccer is an interesting sport!!!!
It has had many different names over the
years, feetball, football, and soccer. The sport came from Europe. A lot
of English monarchs didn't like it when their helpers played the sport
because people would complaint about accidents that would happen and
things would break. Soccer survived and became a popular sport. A man
names J.C. Thring wrote up the rules and made soccer much more popular.
