>>>Rob L is correct!!!\nSport Organisation for Collective Contributions and Equal Rights (SOCCER) is anacronym created in South Africa and it has NOTHING to do with the origin of soccer (the game).\nSee this pages:\n\nhttp://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-12175.html\nhttp://electionresources.org/za/provinces.php?election=1994\n\n and search for the word "soccer".

We have played against very tough keepers. Buffoon and Cech are two of the best keepers in the world and our team is geared more toward running at players. Donovan and Beasley are very fast and if they can get more opportunities for counters, you will see more shots on goal against Ghana.  Plus, the men's game is much more physical than the women's game, nothing against Mia, but she would get murdered.

It has nothing to do w/the weather, or the openness of Europeans. It has to do w/the fact that too many women are completely superficial and believe that looks count for everything in this day and age. I coached girl's soccer for 11 years and I've played the sport for more than 26yrs, and I know what real female soccer players and fans look and act like. The "hootchie mamas" that we see on TV aren't real fans at all. They know next to nothing about "The Beautiful Game", couldn't name more than 3-4 players on any given team, don't know the history of the game, countries, or the tournament, and don't really understand the tactics and mentality behind the game. They're only concerned w/showing off their bodies, competing w/the other women, and getting a little TV coverage so that they can impress their friends. Sports should be left to the REAL sports fans and players, who really deserve to be at the matches.....hootchies and whores should be left at home....in bed where they belong.

Many different cultures have played a sport similar to the modern game of soccer but no one can really say with any certainty when or where soccer began but it is known that the earlier variations of what later became soccer were played almost 3000 years ago. \n\n  \n \n\nOne of the earliest forms of soccer in which players kicked a ball around on a small field has been traced as far back to 1004 B.C. in Japan. The Munich Ethnological Museum in Germany has a Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to soccer that were played between teams from Japan and China. The Chinese kicked a leather ball ( hair-filled ) and it is known with certainty that a soccer game was played in 611 A.D. in the then Japanese capital, Kyoto. \n\nThe Romans played a game that somewhat resembled modern soccer. The early Olympic games in  Rome featured twenty-seven men on a side who completed so vigorously that two-thirds of them had to be hospitalized after a fifty-minute game. \n\nWhile historians kept records of events such as wars and religious movements they had very little interest in preserving the various origins of soccer or many other sports, so no one can say how soccer seems to have spread from Asia to Europe.

According to Anne Rapin "Something quite extraordinary happened on the evening of Sunday, July 12, 1998: France, playing at home against the current title holders, Brazil, won the World Cup. By three goals to nil. An event with unexpected national and international repercussions... "\n\nHope this is what you were looking for...

Futbol - Soccer is a team game whose roots go back to ancient times. Forms of the game were played in such places and times as ancient Rome (harpastum), ancient Greece (harpaston), medieval Italy (calcio) and among the Mayans and Inuit eskimos to mention a few.\n\nThe most modern version of the game originated in England in the 12th century. So popular did the game become that English monarchs including Edward II and Henry IV forbade it among their subjects. They held the belief that the game took interest away from the military sport of archery. In spite of that, the game's popularity continued to grow. Read more at the site listed in sources.

Womans footy in Italy, Spain, Brazil, Finland and Sweden is quite well televised and sponsored, but yes still not as much as mens.\n\nBut over here? yes it is very much under televised, which is a shame because the sponsorship money could help improve it, and I don't mean that in any sexist way, mens football started somewhere as well.\n\nIts not as if our Womens England team isn't any good. They get further than the mens team nearly every tournament!!

I am not sure of that one, anyone remember the last womens US World Cup champs?.....they played with passion and actually played more than we can say for our guys against the Czechs. Womens soccer is a blessing to the sports world and next to the WNBA is leading the way for competitive non-tradintion womens sports.
