How It All began
• Digging into History, the Origins of Modern-Day Soccer and Celebrations in Africa...South Africa will be hosting the FIFA World Cup in June 2010. This will be the first time that this prestigous tournmament will be played on African Soil. Soccer is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players using a spherical ball. It is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world. The game is played on a rectangular grass or artificial turf field, with a goal in the centre of each of the short ends. The modern rules of football are based on the mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played at the public schools of England. The Cambridge Rules, first drawn up at Cambridge University in 1848, were particularly influential in the development of subsequent codes, including association football.
