Soccer

Beginning in England
The game of soccer began in England
sometime in the middle of the 19th century,
primarily in the great public (private)
schools of the day. Standard rules evolved
fairly rapidly.
Organized clubs began to be established in
1855, and the Football Association was
established in London in 1863. professional
players were admitted the Football
Association leagues in the mid-1880s.
Shortly after, the game became dominated
by professional teams.
Soccer began to spread internationally in
the 1870s and by 1880 it had gained
adherents in Central Europe. In those
regions it became exceptionally popular.
Other European nations took it up early un
the 20th century, established teams, and
began to play in internationally play.
South Americans were taught the game by
English immigrants in the 1890s. By the
mid-20th century the sport had reached an
extraordinarily high level of play.
Competition continued to spread
to the Middle Eastern and Asian
nations.
• The World Cup, as sponsored by soccer’s
governing body, the Federation
International Football Association (FIFA),
has been played every 4 years since
1930. the first women’s World Cup match
was played in 1971 in Mexico city.

 John Terry
Defender
• John has become the
personal embodiment of
Chelsea’s evolution into one
of the most powerful clubs in
Europe. Cast in the mould of
the traditional English centre-
halves, he is an aggressive
tackler, dominant in the air
and gifted with a never-say-
die passion. As Chelsea’s
captain, his leadership at the
back has helped to maintain
one of the Premiership’s
stingiest defences.
John succeeded David
Beckham as England captain
in August 2006.
Michael Owen
Midfield

Michael Owen's wonder goal for England against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup finals
propelled him to the forefront of international acclaim. Owen, then with Liverpool, was only
18 when he tore through the Argentinian defence before finishing in sublime fashion.
England lost in a penalty shoot-out, but Owen made an indelible mark with his majestic
strike.

His greatest feat for his country, however, came in a World Cup qualifier in Germany in
September 2001 when he hit a hat-trick in an unforgettable 5-1 romp
In 2001, he inspired a famous fightback as he scored two late goals in Liverpool's FA Cup
triumph over Arsenal in the first final staged at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
 Steven Gerrard
Midfield

• The beating heart of Liverpool and one of England’s midfield stars, Steven
Gerrard has been in the form of his life for, it seems, his whole career.
Scoring incredible goals for fun, crunching into tackles, and driving through the very
heart of the opposition are all trademark Gerrard moves.
He can also play anywhere. Dangerous as a roving forward off the front man,
threatening come in off the right wing, bursting down the left flank, a diligent
anchorman to protect the back four or piling forward from the centre of the park, at
his best, Steve will appear everywhere. And he’s not a bad right back either!
Never satisfied, ‘Stevie G’ has all the attributes to go on to universally recognised as
one of the world’s greatest midfielders.
 Frank
Lampard
midfield
Frank began with six years at
West Ham where his father, a
former England full-back, was
Assistant Manager. By his own
admission Frank added an extra
dimension to his game after
joining Chelsea for £11 million in
2001. He has become an
influential figure, combining craft
and tireless running in Blues’
exciting midfield.
On the international stage Frank
has flourished over the past two
years, becoming a regular in the
England side and capping a fine
2003/04 season with three goals
at Euro 2004. He was also one of
four England players named in
the official Euro 2004 All-Star
squad by the UEFA technical
study group.
David Beckham
Midfield
Arguably the biggest name in world soccer, not
only are the England captain’s crosses and free-
kicks incomparable, his work-rate is second to
none.
First capped at 21 by Glenn Hoddle against
Moldova in 1996, he was named as England's
captain for the first time by caretaker Coach Peter
Taylor for a friendly in Italy.
His stunning free-kick against Greece at Old
Trafford took Sven-Goran Eriksson's
team through to the 2002 World Cup Finals and DAVID BECKHAM
will remain one of the greatest moments in Position Midfielder
England’s history.

Wayne Rooney
Midfield
Not for nothing did Wayne become
England’s youngest ever player (at
17 years 111 days) against Australia
in February 2003.
Theo Walcott may have now taken
that accolade but Wayne remains
one of the most exciting prospects
England has ever produced.
He is strong, quick, tricky, has a
habit of scoring spectacular goals
and is still developing.
Wayne became the European
Championship's youngest ever
goalscorer, albeit briefly, when he
netted the first of his brace against
Switzerland in Coimbra in 2004. He
went on to score two more against
Croatia to become England's leading
marksman at that tournament.
His achievements were recognised
by the UEFA technical study group,
who included him in the official Euro
2004 All-Star squad.

 FROM FOUNDATION TO THE FIRST WORLD WAR

Arsenal Football Club began life when a

group of workers at the Woolwich Arsenal
Armament Factory decided to form a football
team in late 1886. The Club played under
the name of Dial Square.
In 1891 the Club turned professional
and changed its name to Woolwich Arsenal,
finally joining the Football League in 1893.
The Gunners moved to their current home at
Highbury in 1913, as a Second Division side.
Following the First World War Arsenal were
voted into the newly expanded First Division,
where they have remained ever since.

 International Matches
•International matches were being staged in Great
Britain before football had hardly been heard of in
Europe. The first was played in 1872 and was
contested by England and Scotland.
•Strictly speaking, at the time of the first international
match, England had no other partner association
against which to play. When Scotland played
England in Glasgow on 30 November 1872, the
Scottish FA did not even exist.
•The team England played that day was actually the
oldest Scottish club team, Queen's Park.

 Football in England
British football fans are known for their
love of the beautiful game.

Listen to a BBC programme about why football is so popular

in Britain.
 Soccer causes …?
Football fever likely to cost Britain
billions
 On the one hand,

English football fans watching World Cup

matches on their office computer screens could
cost their employers billions of pounds. A great
many others call in sick when they are hungover
or simply because they need to watch footie
online.
 On the other hand,

some businesses stand to make a tidy profit from

English football mania -- not least pubs. According to a
study also published on Monday, fans in England -- not
including the ones who are actually travelling to
Germany for the tournament -- are likely to spend an
average of 60 pounds each every time England play.

Twenty-six of those pounds are set to go on

gambling, but that still leaves 34, which break down as
13 on food and drink, five on transportation, and 12 on
boozy celebration or sorrows-drowning, depending on
the result.
