I recently heard about association football but don't know much about it. Do you know anything about it?
Association football, or commonly known as football or soccer is a team sport played by 2-11 players.
Oh okay, so association football is just another name for soccer. I know about soccer, a little anyways. I did not realize it could have such a wide range of number of players.
Yup. It amazes me that the amount of players worldwide is up to 250 Million (!) Making this the most popular sport in the world.
Wow! That is amazing. Does the United States have any soccer teams that you know of?
I am not too familiar with soccer here. But I know that they recently had the World Cup. It has been growing since the 1960s!
Interesting! I wonder why the United States doesn't get much into soccer, considering we seem to be very into sports overall.
That's a good question. Although there are different roots of history in the US. IT seems to have started in either England or even when Native Americans were here.
I didn't know that. I may start to try to watch more soccer on the sports channel. It seems interesting.
Yeah it is pretty interesting. The objective of the game is to score the ball into the opposing goal. So I imagine its very strategic.
