Soccer, or football, as it's commonly known throughout the world, is arguably the most popular sport on the planet. The World Cup being soccer's biggest and most viewed sporting event, as well as it being an Olympic sport. The game is extremely popular with men and women of all ages because of its simplicity and cost. The aim of the game is simple; you try to score by kicking or heading the ball past the goalkeeper and into your opponent's net. You don't need anything other than a ball to enjoy a game and it can be played anywhere you have the space, both indoor or outdoor. It is recommended you wear some protective gear though and shin pads are mandatory in most organized leagues. Other than that you just need a good pair of feet and usually a pair of boots.
