played not only by the professional clubs,
but a lot of boys in our yards enjoy it. Football was invented in England in the XlX century. Not
everybody knows how it developed. Football was despised in England when people began to play it in
it's early years. King Edward lll made his law about the prohibition of football in 1349. He considered
this play to be a silly one and that young people couldn’t focus on arrow-shooting.
Football was allowed to play only through four centuries. The first football
rules were introduced in Cambridge in 1848, but these rules have changed greatly in our days.
Football fields couldn’t be more than 183 meters long and 91 meters wide, gate was without
a cross-beam. It was allowed to play ball with hands by goalkeepers, but only in penalty area. Corner
was invented in 1973.
The first championship took place in England in 1871. And the first Russian
championship in was held in 1922.
The first World Cup was held in 1930 not in England ,but in Uruguay. The hosts of that
championship became the champions.
Now football is the world wide-spread game on our planet. The best players such as Pile,
Maradonna, Zidan, Beckham and the Soviet goalkeeper Leo Yashin gave their credits for that fact.
Ronaldinho F.C.”Barcelona” became the best football player in the World in 2006.
In my opinion football is
the best play with a ball !
