Soccer History

That depends on whether you are referring to Ice Hockey or Field Hockey. Soccer originated with the ancient game of Harpastum, played by the Roman Legions, while Ice Hockey was invented in Canada in the 19th Century. Field Hockey, on the other hand is known to have been played in Ancient Greece at the Olympic Games. There is a monument in the museum at Olympia which depicts two players with typical curved field hockey sticks in a face-off position and a ball between them.

2 France was one of the four European teams that participated at the inaugural World Cup in 1930. France is one of the most successful football nations in the world. In the 1980s, led by midfielder and captain Michel Platini, the team reached semi-finals at both the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, and won the 1984 European Championship.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup is the 19th cup held since 1930.

nani has scored 987 goals

10000 matches Honduras played

It is Germany.

Once as Germany and Three times as west Germany.

The first black is Kevin Campbell, he was also the first black captain of Everton.

I think the best soccer player for the Mexican soccer team is Giovani Dos Santos. He only wears the number ten shirt. Chicharito is real bad even though he might be in Manchester UTD. the goals he scores are goals where he is left 1-on-1 with the goalkeeper. The last game he has played with the national team against Bosnia Herzogovina he missed a penalty (which he hasen't ever scored one) and then he was going to kick it at goal but the defense from the other team kicked the ball in accidentaly and scored an own goal. Chicharito never touched that ball after getting his penalty blocked, again, so he isn't supposed to play on the starting line up pr be on the bench with Manchester UTD. Giovani on the other hand is a great soccer player and got second best young soccer player in the world cup and he didnt score a goal which is actually not that bad since he isn't a ball hog and he is good for assisting. He has played in FC Barcelona as a kid at age 17 and he has scored amazing goals with them. Now in the teams he is in he doesn't get many chances because they don't think he is a goal scorer, but he never played in the Mexican 1st division like Chicharito and Chicharito was better off in FMF than being on Manchester UTD and if Giovani Dos Santos does ever play in the FMF primera division he will scoreabout 2 goals for regular matches, 3 or 4 goals in easy matches, and in difficult matches about .5 or 1 goal per game. Well it all depends who he plays for, he'll never go to Chivas de Guadalajara because his father played for Club America, he'll go to maybe Club America, Monterrey, CD Cruz Azul, or maybe Pumas de U.N.A.M. If he does switch over to FMF i wishes he goes with Monarcas Morelia help them alot after the dumb decision Tómas Boy made by selling Hugo Drougett, and if he does go therehe should just know that he would be the best soccer player they have.

Steven Gerrard has so far scored the most and only goals in the world cup for England!

England has never finished runners-up at the World Cup. They reached the final once, in 1966, where they beat West Germany to lift the trophy. The closest they have reached the final since was when they were beaten on penalties by Germany in 1990 in the semi-finals.

you practice as good as you are in a game and play your position and don't let the other team score on you

The FIFA world cup was hosted by Korea Republic & Japan

No a group of men made soccer

Saudi Arabia

Uefa champions league.

No. They get a gold plated replica, FIFA keeps the original.

3hrs.

Actual time:

4 x 15 Minute Quaterters.

12 minute halftime

1 x 2 minute between quarter breaks.

= Bare minimum of 76 mins.

An NFL game will many times have commercial breaks at the end of plays that result in TO (like out of bounds after catch), injuries, Officail TO, and change of possession.

So NFL games will last 3 hours minimum with filler like commentary and commercials to make up the lag.

Yup.. aprox 110 minutes of announcer yacking, beer commercials, and truck ads.

India have never won the soccer world cup.

it was called world cup willie
