History of Soccer By: Luiz Corona
When was soccer invented? Scientific evidence shows that a similar activity of kicking a ball in a precise manner is traced back between the 2nd and 3rd BC in a province of China. This activity is a military exercise called Tsu Chu during the Han Dynasty. The exercise is done by kicking a ball made up of leather and filled with feathers and hair. The objective of their exercise is to aim the ball in a small opening with a small net. This requires excellent skill of accuracy in order to do the exercise. The official invention of the sport which we know in our modern time is on 1863 which is the same year when the Football Association was formed in England. The Laws of the Game was also created which had been the basis of how the sport is played in modern time.

They can move the ball by dribbling, or passing to teammates to score. Opponents get possession of the ball by tacking or intercepting passes. Each team has 10 outfield players and 1 goalkeeper. Strikers attempt to score goals; Defenders try to keep the opponent from scoring; Midfielders try to intercept and control the ball. They can switch positions at will. Substitutions can be made three times, however the substituted player may not return in that game.
