he Legacy I want to leave behind is in involved with soccer. I want to be remembered as a FIFA legend, and want to be better or as good as past legends like Pele, and Messi. Also, an accomplishment I would like to achieve is make into the soccer hall of fame. I want to be known as the very best. Finally, my legacy will inspire people to try harder and never give up.

Globalization is erasing country borders. It’s expanding something to a worldwide scale, and generally making the world a little bit smaller. When you think of globalization in terms of sports, the best example is soccer. Soccer is something that started in 1863 as a simple game played in England by people of humble beginnings and not long after that turned into a worldwide phenomenon (Parrish). Soccer has over 3.5 billion fans worldwide. When you really think about that number you realize how big of a deal that is. That’s about 50% of the world’s population. Meaning that 1 in every 2 people watch, play, and generally enjoy soccer. The globalization aspect of it comes in when you know that its regional popularity is in Europe, Africa,

Franklin Foer the author of How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization is an important contributor of the small topic of the how soccer is related to the world. Foer from the New Republic who writes from time to time in the well known newspaper of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal had traveled around the world especially the continent of Europe, Asia, North and South America. Going from the topic of why the Islam religion, Islamic law, and religious paramilitary militia prohibits the passionate, die-hard Islamic women fans; from attending and/or watching soccer games and then partying hard like the men after the game if their country or favorite club wins. To the topic of how America relates to soccer

I am going to talk about the most popular sport in the world: football. Now, you may be having visions of huge quarterbacks, dressed up in their padding and helmets, parading down the field during the Super Bowl. But the other kind of football, the football the rest of the world knows, has no padding or helmets. This other football is known in America as soccer. In more than 175 countries across the globe, football, or soccer, rates as the number 1 national sport.

However, soccer sometimes has negative impacts on individuals taking part in the game as spectators or players. Soccer makes a number of individuals intolerant and this intolerance could cause disturbances to other participants in the game. Hooliganism is one of the most popular form of intolerance in the game of soccer where fans from the opposing sides in most instances get into physical confrontations resulting in injuries and in worse cases, deaths. An example was when Egypt faced Algeria in an African Nations Cup tournament where Algerian fans got down into the pitch and engaged the Egyptian fans in a physical fight which left several people dead. These physical fights are not only limited to the fans but the soccer players as well. Many instances have been reported of players getting into physical confrontations with the members of the opposing team (Huggins, 2007). This has resulted in the development of more stringent rules to reduce such incidences. This is evidence of how the popular culture that is soccer elicits emotions among the participant of the game.

In soccer there are many rules that have changed. Back in the 1700's the playing field was shaped like a square. There were only four major markings on the field. They were the touchlines, goal lines, halfway line, and the eighteen-yard lines. When the Football Association (FA) was created in 1863, the first uniform rules were made. FIFA now requires that soccer be played on a rectangular field between one hundred and one hundred-thirty yards long and between fifty and one hundred yards wide. For international matches the field should be between one hundred- ten and one hundred-twenty yards long and between seventy and eighty yards wide. There are two goals, one placed at each end of the field. They are eight feet tall, eight yards across, and six feet deep. The lines that mark the sides of the field are called touchlines; those that mark the two ends of the field are called goal lines. Also there are five other distinctive lines. They are the halfway lines, the goal areas, the penalty areas, the corner marks, and the center circle.

Soccer has been described as the most beautiful game in the world. It is certainly the most popular; it’s played by more than 265 million worldwide! Every four years, thirty-two countries from around the world gather - after going through a grueling qualifying process - to compete for the honor of raising the golden World Cup trophy.

5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, striking or tripping in any way of an opponent. The first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul; the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game. No substitution shall be allowed.

Soccer (Football) is the most popular and fastest growing sport in the world. Over 240 million people play it regularly around the world. However, most people only get to view one side of soccer in their lifetime. They never get a glimpse of it in any other setting. For many people soccer is a very competitive organized sport. For others it is an everyday, fun activity. In some countries, soccer is their life, while in others it is just a sport. For those of you that don’t know, soccer is a sport where the objective is to score goals by kicking a ball into the other teams goal. It is a mix of offense and defense, with very fast paced action. You are allowed to use any body part except your hands and elbows. Soccers first appearance traces back to 3000 years ago in ancient China. But, the first modern version of soccer originates from Victorian England. Since then, soccer has spread around the world to the point where almost every country plays some form of it. I am going to address how it is different around the world and the reasons for this.

There is no doubt that sport has had a significant impact on various social landscapes.

1986 World Cup quarter finals, was when one of the most controversial calls was made. The goal was called the “Hand of God” because Diego Maradona scored with a hand ball. It could have been called correctly if they allowed instant replay. Instant replay has benefitted sports because it allows referees to make difficult calls and see things on the field of play that have been obstructed from view. Today, the technology has become so advanced, that most calls that the referees get wrong can be clearly seen by instant replay. The game may take longer but, the outcome is fairer.

Today in football, collegiate and professional, the officiating is expected to be perfect, but right now the officiating is very under par. The present day technology in football is getting more and more advanced all for the same reason ‘’To get the right call”. Unfortunately, even with the new review technology, the referees continue to “blow” calls which ruins the game experience for hundreds of thousands of football fans and athletes watching. And, at times, even makes the game dangerous for the athletes playing, y enraged fans that could become violent as a result. With all of the advancement in technology used in football, fans wonder when will they finally get “the calls right”. This is a major issue for both football fans and football players face.

Sporting activities have had major impacts worldwide for quite some time. Within that period of time, various issues have emanated from such activities and had various influences. According to the article written and published by Jamal L. R. on 10th November 2015, racial discrimination on sporting events, as well as the dynamics of the race and sport from 1968 to 2008 is focused on. In his research, Jamal mainly uses content analysis on the happenings, which had major impact especially on the blacks during athletic, and ball games. He mainly analyzes the grievances addressed by other races especially during the games, so as to come up with his research and conclusions.

There's a kid(Oscar) sitting on the ground during a soccer game just picking flowers. There’s a kid(Kenny) who is sprinting and trying his hardest to get a goal he is huffing and puffing, and just sweating like crazy. Kenny has already scored three goals for this team. Kenny wants his team to win so he is giving it his all, while Oscar picks another daisy. They lose the game. Kenny is almost to the point of tears because tryed so hard, but Oscar just yawns and is happy he is going home. Their coach comes out with a box, inside there's a couple participation trophies one for everyone on the team. It’s the same size as if they would have gotten if they won. This made Kenny really upset and Oscar was happy he was being reward for them wasting his time. Kenny continued to play soccer for true trophy that he earned, while Oscar did soccer only for the trophy, he knew he would get. The trophy didn’t encourage Oscar to play, it gave him a reason to quit. The kids that get reward whenever they do something bad the more negative effects on the kid’s future. There's a problem with kids and their parents in the world today this problem is participation trophies and what they mean and how they will affect kids in the years to come. Participation trophies are a pointless and meaningless rewards that hurt kids in the long run, and giving out participation trophies do more harm than good.

Officials now have the opportunity to use technology like hawk- eye and goal-line referee to decide whether there should be a point given. The hawk-eye technology shows whether a ball in tennis is in or out and the goal-line referee is used in soccer decide whether there is a goal or not and to provide another point of view for the spectators.
