This part of the website will be introducing soccer. I will be describing the statistics and other things of the sport of soccer. The sport of soccer or futbol originated in the country of Asia. It started back in Ancient times more than two thousand years ago. It originated in Ancient China. The soccer then branched out to Greece, Rome, and eventually branched out to Central America. It then moved over to Europe where England introduced it too the people over there. It then became a world wide sport and everyone was playing it. There is over than 240 million people that play around the world, and a lot of people play soccer regularly according to the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The game has evolved from the sport of kicking a rudimentary animal-hide ball around into the World Cup sport it is today. The game was also involved into video games on consoles, and computers. They have developed a game called "Fifa." As the sport developed, more rules were implemented and more historical landmarks were set. For example, the penalty kick was introduced in 1891. FIFA became a member of the International Football Association Board of Great Britain in 1913. Red and yellow cards were introduced during the 1970 World Cup finals. More recent major changes include goalkeepers being banned from handling deliberate back passes in 1992 and tackles from behind becoming red-card penalties in 1998. The game has since evolved a lot since it was invented back in ancient times.
