Find out the author’s writing purpose.
These days, football is one of the most popular sports in the world. Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon, we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world! The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China. It was then known as cuju (kick ball), a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside. Goals were hung in the air. Football as we know it today started in Great Britain, where the game was given new rules.
That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity. It is also a game that is very cheap to play. You don't need expensive equipment; even the ball doesn't have to cost much money. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts’ content with a ball made of plastic bags; just like Pelé did when he was a boy.
Another factor behind football’s global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field. It is fun enough to attract millions of people. You do not have to be a fan to recognise the skill of professional players - how they use their bodies to pass, score and defend can be amazing to see - or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.
What's more. football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require(words, but everyone understands it. It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field. Take, for example, the famous football game on Christmas Day 1914. World War I had broken out months before, but British and German soldiers put down their guns and played football together - one moment of peace to remember during years of conflict.
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death....” said Bill Shankly, the famous footballer and manager.“I can assure you it is much, much more important than that” This might sound funny, but one only has to think about the Earth to realise that our planet is shaped like a football.
