Invention of Football: Soccer

Soccer is a team sport, played between two teams pitted against each other. A standard rectangular field is used to play, with two goal posts each, on the center of the two shorter sides. A spherical ball is passed around using the foot or occasionally by the head, and the aim is to hit the ball into the goal post. History of football dates back to England in the middle ages, when different rules were used and the sport was played in an unorganized manner across high schools in the country. In 1848, Cambridge University made its first effort to set up some rules and as such the rules of the game came into existence, popularly called Cambridge rules. The rules set by the Cambridge University were followed by several clubs besides schools and universities of various counties. However, some schools and universities, who initially followed the Cambridge rules, went against the existing rules and decided to come up with their own set of regulations. This led to the formation of the Sheffield United FC, a body formed by former members of the Cambridge University.

These continuous efforts contributed and finally led to the formation of The Football Association (The FA) which held its first meeting on October 26, 1863. This was followed by minor confrontations of the members, on some rules laid out by the FA, which led to mutiny by a few member clubs to form separate associations. But, this didn't affect the FA much, as it successfully organized the FA cup, the oldest football competition in the world, in 1872. The world's first league tournament started in Birmingham with 12 club teams. This league then evolved into the highly prestigious English Premier League.

More than the Game:- Opening Baseball

This year, the Opening Day spectacle is better than ever: Johan Santana and his first win in a Mets uniform, Joe Torre doing the same in Dodger Blue, international play, no Roger Clemens, no guy by the name of Mitchell, no Bryan McNamee.
This day is about hope. This day is about waking up and dreaming, even if you’re a Royals fan. This day is about possibility.
Yet, as great as this Day is, how am I supposed to be engrossed in it, put my all into it, look up how Vladimir Guerrero has historically fared against Pet Neshek, just in case they’d happen to face each other in the bottom of the eighth of the first of 162 games. There are 161 games after this one.
And how am I supposed to transition from the climatic, exciting, dramatic NCAA tournament to a game with Gus “I Need A Sedative Even In a Blowout” Johnson calling a game (”and the slipper stillllllll fitsssss!!!”) to Bert Blyleven, who could feed a Third World country if he was given $1 for every time he said “at the Major League level” or “innings of work.” It just doesn’t compare. And couldn’t they allow some sort of recovery period? I’m just coming off of Davidson-Kansas here.
We like different sports for different reasons. I like college basketball for its excitement and variety. There are enough games where it is possible to recall fantastic finishes, incredible highlights — but adding those to our always-evolving Sports Fan Timeline. When I watch a college basketball game, especially one in March, I won’t be on the couch, I’ll be off it, clapping, cheering, leaping.
Baseball is different. Unless you live in a place like Minnesota before the year 2009, your games are in the outdoors, many after dark. The ballpark is illuminated, that little glowing ball has eyes, and people sit around for two-hours-plus. For fifteen minutes, you might stand, if your team happens to be winning in the top half of the ninth. Baseball is routine, day in, night out for 162 games. There’s some comfort in this.
