My opinion on Football
How everything started?
 The Ancient Greeks and Romans are known to have
played many ball games, some of which involved the use
of the feet.
 A Chinese game called Cuju, Tsu' Chu, or Zuqiu has been
recognised by FIFA as the first version of the game with
regular rules.It existed during the second and third
centuries BC.
 Chinese kids playing Cuju 
What is Football?
 Football is a team sport played between two teams of
eleven players with a ball. 1 team has 11 players, sorted in
a formation. There are 2 types of teams: National (Brazil,
Germany and others) and a Club (Barcelona, Real Madrid
and others). In a national team the players represent their
nationality. In a Club the nationality of the player doesn’t
matter. It is played by 250 million players in over 200
countries and dependencies, making it the world's most
popular sport.
 Bulgarian national team in 1994 
Rules
 The aim of football is to score more goals then your
opponent in a 90 minute playing time frame. The match is
split up into two halves of 45 minutes. After the first 45
minutes players will take a 15 minute rest period called
half time. The second 45 minutes will resume and any time
deemed fit to be added on by the referee will be
accordingly.
Football – Before and Now
 So much thing have changed in football. For example the
kits. They used to be boring. Nowadays every team
changes something in the kits every season
 The wages, ticket prices and transfers. Big differcences.
The best footballer then got 264 pounds a week. Now the
non-talanted useless footballers in big leagues get like
50000 pounds

My opinion on Football
 I think football is a good game. To watch or to play I still
think that it’s enjoyable. But now football is all about
money. The current record transfer is 198 million pounds. I
think in 30 years there will be transfers for 1 billion pounds
