I love association football and received a scholarship, it's a very popular sport.  There's over 250 million players from 200 countries.
That is interesting. I am not familiar with the sport. Please tell me more about your scholarship and what it entails please.
Well I guess you'd be more familiar with it as soccer.  It's what it's called in the States.  Standard sport kicking a ball with your feet into a goal.
Soccer is popular. Can you tell me what a typical game is like
It's mainly played with your feet, you can't use your hands to touch the ball.  That is unless, you're the goalkeeper, but then you're confined to a small area the whole game.
Where did game of soccer originate ?
I believe the game originated with the standard rules and laws we know today in England back in 1863.   It's a long running sport.
I imagine it takes quite the stamina to sustain a game. I'd get tired just watching it ;)
