Futbol is a passion. Every little kid plays wants to be like Ronaldo, Maradona, Pele, Valderrama, Beckham, or Roberto Carlos. Futbol is not as complicated (money for equipment) as other major sport. For soccer all you need is a ball and the goal can be anything sometimes you don't even need a goal. Futbol is so big that when your national team plays everything stops, even the churches close during game time. The world cup is the biggest event in the sport, is when the best teams of the world get to fight for the title of World Champions. Even if your country does not make to the final, you still want to see the greatest teams battle it out.

Soccer, game played by two teams on a rectangular field, in which players attempt to knock a round ball through the opponents’ goal, using any part of the body except the hands. Generally, players use their feet and heads as they kick, dribble, and pass the ball toward the goal. One player on each team guards the goal. This player, the goalkeeper, is the only player allowed to touch the ball with the hands while it is in play.\n\nSoccer is a free-flowing game that has relatively few rules and requires little equipment. All that is needed to play is an area of open space and a ball. Much of the world's soccer is played informally, without field markings or real goals. In many places, the game is played barefoot using rolled-up rags or newspapers as a ball. Soccer is the world's most popular sport, played by people of all ages in about 200 countries. The sport has millions of fans throughout the world.\n\nOnly in the United States and Canada is the game referred to as soccer. Outside these countries the sport is commonly called football, or fútbol in Spanish-speaking countries, where the game is particularly popular. The official name of the sport is association football. \n\n****************************************************\n\nHistory of Soccer -\nBefore World Cup Soccer\nThe modern form of soccer originated in England in the early 1830's.

The most important game is the mental game. If the U.S. can win the mental game, they will win the games on the pitch.

Because they are one the greatest teams in the world. \n\nThey always play not only for the winning but also for sending the whole world their message; soccer is the greatest beautiful sports with skill, passion, and team cooperation. \n\nI really respect Cafu and love Ronaldinho, they play soccer for the team and for the world! They achieve their dreams with their best smile.  \n\nTo win is important for a competition but we can find there's more important thing in it when people do their best.     \n\nWhen you find something special you want to do your best in the fields of sports, studies, or activities in the future, will you tell me why and what makes you so strong with passion and joy?      \n \nThank you for your nice question and reading my answer. :)

The non-technical answer: \nThe game of soccer is supposed to be non-stop and flowing.  This is one of the reasons that soccer is called "The beautiful game" by many people around the world.  The players and fans don't want the game to be interrupted for any reason and thus the clock doesn't stop unless the match is called off.  This allows for several things, including a fairly consistent match length.  A soccer game will almost always last for 1 hour and 45 minutes.  There are two 45 minute halves and a 15 minute half-time.  \n\nThe technical reason:\nFIFA, the international governing body for soccer, declares it to be the case.  According to their laws of the game, stoppage time is added for the following reasons:\n    *   substitution(s);\n\n    * assessment of injury to players;\n\n    *  removal of injured players from the field of play for treatment;\n\n    * wasting time;\n\n    * any other cause.\n\n    * The allowance for time lost is at the discretion of the referee.
