The World Cup is earth’s most famous sports tournament. Just as the Olympics, it is played every four years and pits countries against countries. It also features the world’s most popular sport: football.
The game of “football” began with the Romans and has since evolved into the sport it is today. In 1863, a set of standard rules was formed in England and called “Association Football.” The term “soccer” came out of the slang use of “Association” with younger players adding an “er” to most things. If you surfed you were a surf-er, or if you played golf you were a golf-er.
