Not much a participant needs other than a pair of cleats and a ball. Now, the USSF’s website does a good…
Soccer started in December 1863 in Britain and they used to call "Football". Many people would ask that when the first soccer match was and who was the organization and who invented the game of soccer. There are many arguments that some people saying that soccer starts at England and some saying China was the country where soccer was started.

I agree that they are the first who start to kick the…

S is for soccer. Soccer is my favorite sport. I have been playing soccer ever since I was in 2nd grade.
