Why soccer becomes such a popular exercise
I think the most important reason is that soccer could combine with a country’s local cultures and become the impartial part in residents’ daily lives.
It’s easy to play and it doesn’t need any complicated tools; besides, it can be localized.
All we need is a ball, therefore; it is the cheapest one of all kinds of sports. Meanwhile, its’ rules are very simple, people can practice it easily; besides, its rules are not very serious, people could change the rules to match up their local cultures. For instance, in Africa, children play soccer on mud-ground; in Brazil, they play soccer on beach with the tempo of Samba; in Italy, kids play soccer on streets and in England, they play it in parks. The internationalization improves the charm of soccer; therefore it becomes not only a kind of sports but an international culture.
(Soccer is easy to play; it could be played on European grasslands, the beaches of South-America or the mud-grounds in Africa. )
Another important reason of the fashion of soccer is that many soccer fans, they might watch soccer games since they were children (they may go to a football game with their fathers.). The European fans emphasize their royalty to one soccer team; most people only support two soccer teams: one is professional soccer team; another is international team. Besides, no matter how bad the teams’ performance, they still support it. This is one of the characteristic of European soccer fans and the soccer clubs just like their second homes.
In my personal opinion, I think soccer competitions are an extension of wars. Human has the personality of competition and soccer just can meet the demand of human. On the other hand, although in nowadays, wars in the world are not very much, the enmities between countries still exist. Of course they won’t use wars to solve it, so they change a way; competing each other by sports. For example, in ww1 and2, Germany fought with French and England, so in their soccer games, England V.S Germany or French V.S Germany are still being violent games.
