How did soccer come to be and where did it begin? Different countries have different version of the game. For example, soccer was known to spring up in Britain in the eight century. It was not a recreational sport but was rather known as a war game. Many claim that it all began when a Danish Prince’s head was cut off and it was used as a ball and then kicked around by the people. Because of this legendary and brutal tale villagers would play the game by kicking a ball towards a goal. As years went by, the game evolved into soccer.

The game of soccer is a very interesting and different game. Almost in all other sports the body part used most is the hand while in the game of soccer touching the ball with the hands is absolutely prohibited. The only two players who can rightfully touch the ball with the hands and arms are the goalkeepers of both the teams. All the other players can touch the ball with their legs only and at the most with their head and the torso to intercept the ball. Some of the other interesting features of the soccer sport is the extra time and the penalty shootout, though this differs on different formats of competition.
The rules of soccer initially were codified by the Football Association in England in 1863 and were quite different from what is being played today though the base rules have remained the same. The international organization that governs soccer sport is the Fédération Internationale de Football Association or the FIFA. FIFA organizes the World Cup once every 4 years. There is also the European Football wing that organizes the UEFA World Cup once every 4 years when numerous nations from the European continent participate to win the prestigious cup.
