Football
Football is de most popular sport in England for al long time.The playing of football in England is documented since at least 1314. England is home to the oldest football clubs in the world (dating from at least 1857), the world's oldest competition (the FA cup founded in 1871) and the first ever football league (1888). English football has a league system which incorporates thousands of clubs, and is topped by four fully professional divisions. The elite Premier League has 20 teams and is the richest football league in the world. The other three fully professional divisions are the run by The Football League, the oldest league in the world, and include another 72 clubs. Annual promotion and relegation operates between these four divisions and also between the lowest of them and lower level or "non-League" football. There are a small number of fully professional clubs outside the top four divisions, and many more semi-professional clubs. Thus England has over a hundred fully professional clubs in total, which is considerably more than any other country in Europe.The two main cup competitions in England are the FA Cup (the world's oldest football competition), which is open to every men's football team in England; and the League Cup (currently known as the Capital One Cup), which is for the 92 professional clubs in the four main professional divisions only.
Rugby
Rugby was codified by the Rugby Football Union in 1871. In 1895 the two organizations developed somewhat different rules. For much of the 20th century there was difference between rugby league, which was a mainly working class game based in the industrial regions of northern England, and rugby union, which is a predominantly middle class game in England, and is also popular in the other home nations. In 1995 opened the International Rugby Board rugby union to professional players. A rugby team consists of five teen players. An important part in rugby is "Scrum", a group of each team to the other team leaning forward trying to push away the ball to conquer. The intention is to get the ball in rugby over the line of the opponent to get but that is not easy, you may push your opponent and also beech. An important rule in rugby is that you may not throw the ball forward you may throw him backwards only
