The favourite sport of the English people is something I want to tell you about. This is, of course, English soccer; the British call it soccer as well as football.
Wherever in the world you are the local football league is known and respected. The Premier League is playing now in it's eleventh season. English football is very good in many respects.
History of English soccer
The decision of eleven clubs to send representatives to the Freemasons Tavern in central London on October 26th, 1863 had a common aim - to decide upon a set of rules by which the fast-emerging game of football could be played. It was decided that 'a football association should be formed for the purpose of settling a code of rules for the regulation of the game,' and an annual general meeting was called for the last week in September - thus setting the beginning of the traditional football season.
Not all those present gave their backing to the movement. Charterhouse, one of the ‘great schools’, agreed with the broad aims of the association but Captain BF Hartshorne felt he had to wait to gauge the reaction of others before giving up their own brand of the game. Harrow, too, were initially unwilling to change their rules - but when the Football Association rules were finally agreed upon in early December, they were based on that school’s understanding of how the game was played.
This set yo the Premier League, the English highest division. The Premiership is one of the popular competitions of the world, and where some of the the highest wages are.
And there are many divisions in England; division one, division two, and so on.
In the Premiership competes the best teams of England, represented by the best players with the highest wages. This season is Manchester United is the Champion of England.
The top scorer at this moment is Ruud van Nistelrooy of the Netherlands. He plays for the champion Manchester United and made twenty four goals this season, more than is Beattie of Southampton, who made 23 goals and at third place is
Thierry Henry who made 22 goals for his club Arsenal.
Soccer.
Soccer is a game that is played between two teams. Each team has got one goalkeeper and ten players in the field. The meaning of the game is to shoot the ball in the goal of the opponent. The ball may played with the foot, the head and the other parts of the body (but not the hands or the arms).
The game takes ninety minutes with two periods of forty-five minutes with a break inbetween.
The game is led by an arbitrator, who is assisted by two linesmen. Those three people judge neutrally at the game and if the players play according to the rules.
A goal is scored when the ball has crossed the line in the goal. After a goal you have to put the ball back at the centre spot. In case the ball crosses the sideline, you have several possibilities. You can throw or shoot the ball back in the middle of the field. Sometimes you may shoot the ball right at the goal.
If the opposition commits an offence you can have a free shot from further on the field or a shot right before the goal. This is called a penalty.
If a player commit a serious offence the arbitrator may give this player a yellow or, if it's a really serious offense, a red card.
