Soccer History

Many claim that it's Baby Arizmendi at the age of just 10

The Ring magazine said that Baby Arizmendi was perhaps the youngest person ever to have become a professional boxer; he turned pro at the ripe old age of 13, although some swore he was only seven when he had his first pro fight. Others have him listed as 10.

I don't think anyone knows for sure but here's another list that I have:

Len Harvey 12 years 175 days, Pro Debut January 2, 1920

Teddy Baldock 12 years 298 days. Pro debut March 14, 1921

Baby Arizmendi 13 years 208 days, Pro debut March 17, 1914

Rodolfo Gonzalez 13 years 336 days, Pro debut November 17, 1959

Alfredo Peña was born in Mexico from legendary boxer Luis Ignacio Peña, El Rey de Mexico. Debuting at the Plaza de Toros in Tijuana against Dolores Osorio.

Also, Al Diamond out of Paterson New Jersey was just 13 when he started in 1927.

Manuel Medina, who fought and defeated Scott Harrison and was then beaten in the return a year or 2 ago, he was 14 years old when he began boxing as a pro.

Here's yet another list:

Youngest pro debut by a fighter:

1. Baby Arizmendi age 10

2. Alfredo Peña age 12

2. Teddy Baldock age 14

3. Al McCoy age 14

4. Battling Nelson age 14

5. Georges Carpentier age 14

There is documentary evidence that a game or skill building exercise, involving kicking a ball into a small net, was used by the Chinese military during the Han Dynasty - around the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. Earlier evidence - of a field marked out to play a ball-kicking game has been found at Kyoto, in Japan. Both the Greeks and ancient Romans played a soccer-type game which resembled modern soccer - although in this early version, teams could consist of up to 27 players! It is impossible to say accurately where and when soccer started - but it is reasonable to assume that some type of ball game - from which the organised sport we know today developed - has been played somewhere on the planet for over 3000 years. In medieval times, towns and villages played against rival towns and villages - and kicking, punching, biting and gouging were allowed. The object of the game was to move the ball to an agreed spot which had been marked out before play commenced. Hundreds of people took part and games could last all day. So violent did these matches become that many attempts were made by the authorities to ban soccer. In England, King Edward III passed laws in 1331 to try and suppress football. In Scotland, King James 1, in 1424, proclaimed in Parliament, "That na man play at the Fute-ball" (No man shall play football/soccer). Good Queen Bess, Queen Elizabeth 1 of England, had a law passed which provided for soccer players to be " jailed for a week, and obliged to do penance in church." But no law could stop the game in Britain. It was too popular.

I played soccer for almost 13 years from about age 5 through high school. Wearing a youth athletic supporter was usually reccomended during the younger years and required equipment by high school. By "required" I mean that the school required that you had one physically available, not that anyone really checked to make sure you were wearing it during practice or games. In my experience many players chose to wear them, myself included. Anyone ever hit in the groin by a soccer ball will tell you why. My experience covers 4-years of varsity soccer at a public high school in the northeast US. I imagine however other schools and regions may have different requirements.

Who cares ?

& who wants to know if its about England ?

BRAVEHEART !

oh flower of Scotland (8)

Ronaldo

Ronaldo has played for AC Milan, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter who have all won the European Champions Club Cup or Champions League, but he has won the Champions League with Real Madrid.

Off the top of my head:

Dean Saunders (Aston Villa, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Benfica)

Laurent Blanc (Inter, Barcelona, Marseille, Manchester United)

Pierre van Hooijdonk (Celtic, Benfica, Feyenoord, Nottingham Forest)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Ajax, Juventus, Barcelona, Inter, Milan)

Moritz Volz On 20 December 2006, he scored the 15,000th goal in Premier League history for Fulham against Chelsea

80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, is how many people ecuador soccer in a year or 2. that is awsome to know

No, when South Korea co hosted the 2002 World Cup with Japan, they got to the semi finals where they lost to Germany 1-0. They then went on to lose 3-2 to Turkey and finish fourth. They beat Portugal and Spain in that world cup, as well as a dramatic golden goal win over Italy in the second round.

In 1966, North Korea reached the quarter finals.

Two. One against Argentina in the world cup while playing for England. The other against the Seattle Sounders while playing for LA galaxy

well.....actually soccer is a very old game and there are too many old players but ill give u some famous old players

Abedi pele

maradona

Zico

and others......sorry for giving you only 3 examples lol

That depends on the sport being considered, and the gender of the team.

Each country is given a number, one to thirty-two, and the numbers are drawn from a bowl at random.

A sweeper is usually the last defensive person back besides the goalie. If the ball gets by everyone else it is up to him/her to get the ball away from the goal. Also the sweeper needs to be fast in case he/she gets caught up to far on the field and needs to get back really quick. The sweeper is also the person responsible for keeping the fullbacks at the right spot so you can catch the forwards offside.

The sweeper is a player, usually a defender, designated by the team's captain to advance along the side of the field behind the offensive player who has the ball.

Puskas, Di Stefano, and Pierino Prati are the only three players to have scored hat-tricks in the European cup finals. A hat-trick in soccer is when three consecutive goals are scored by one player.

Well, I'm wondering if any Real Madrid player has ever played in Livepool or Everton. Just this season they hired Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso which played in Liverpool so they'll be facing Atletico Madrid later on......

mo Johnson,trevor steven, Gary Stevens, Andy gray. loads more.

1954, 1974 (both as West Germany) and 1990.

Ukraine have only qualified for one world cup, in which they reached the quarter finals. They lost their first game to Spain. It is the first time in the world cup history that a country has reached the quarter finals after loosing their first game 4-0.
