The modern game of soccer evolved after the Romans took their version of the game to Britain in the 1800s. British imperialists, missionaries and traders brought soccer to the African continent in the 1800s. The European version of the sport was spread by merchants, explorers, and colonialists as they traveled the world. The game of soccer was spread unintentionally. In many of the places where they stopped, the native people already had been playing similar games, and the two versions were combined into one. When FIFA was established the organization worked to spread soccer to every country and continent. FIFA then worked to organize a tournament that brought teams together from several different nations. We know this tournament now as the World Cup.
The World Cup played a major role in the spread of soccer. Once the World Cup was established, soccer became a global phenomenon. Papers and eventually television played a huge role in the spread and popularity of soccer. Soccer is known as the world’s greatest sport. Transition: As the game spread so did many ideas and rules. Many rules were changed and modified as the game became modernized. The original rules of the game. Entire towns in England would kick a pig’s bladder from one landmark to another. British games pitted two massive and rather mob-like teams against one another. The games could stretch from one end of a town to the other, with both teams trying to get the ball into their opponent’s goal. The enforcement of rules.
Standard rules were not enforced, so almost anything was allowed and play often became quite violent. There was a decline in soccer due partially to legal concerns over violence. As the rules were enforced the game began to spread. The game eventually got a set of rules which are still enforced today. Goal kicks were first introduced in 1869, allowing goalies to waste as much as 30 seconds at a time with impunity. The first time a referee used a whistle to control the game was in 1878. Penalty kicks were created in 1891 and were originally called a “kick of death”.
