The bullfight as we know it today developed back in the 1700s in Spain but some form of bullfighting has been around since ancient times.

Why does Spain like soccer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Soccer is the most popular ball sport in most countries, except the US.

It can be played anywhere. You don't even need a ball, a pair of rolled up socks will do.

Tthere was even a joky quiz show in Britain called "Jumpers for Goalposts" about soccer.

Translation

English Jumper = American sweater

Little boys (and big ones)playing pickup soccer put down their sweaters as goalposts, much to the disgust of their Moms who have to wash them.
