FFF- Futbol


,

SOCCER! Football, otherwise known as soccer (slang for association football) in the US, is the most popular sport in the world. A similar game was played in China called cuju around 206 BC. The soccer field became known as “the pitch” due to a slope built into most fields. There is no uniform size to a soccer pitch, it varies by league and even stadium. Players can end up running as many as 5 to 10 miles during a match, so don’t call them lazy! Goalies started wearing different colored jerseys in 1913 to help referees because they are the only players allowed to touch the ball below the shoulders. The number 10 is unofficially considered the kit number of the best player on the squad. My boy Neymar Jr is #10 for PSG! And finally, the largest soccer game attendance was 199,854 for the Brazil v Uruguay World Cup game in 1950. Have a sporty Friday everyone ⚽⚽❤️
