Association football, commonly known as football or soccer, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball. It is the world's most popular sport. The game is played on a rectangular field of grass or green artificial turf, with a goal in the middle of each of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by driving the ball into the opposing goal. In general play, the goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands or arms, while the field players typically use their feet to kick the ball into position, occasionally using their torso or head to intercept a ball in midair. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time and/or a penalty shootout, depending on the format of the competition. The Laws of the Game published in England by the Football Association in 1863 remain the basis for the way the sport is played today. Football is governed internationally by FIFA which organises the World Cup every four years. From Wikipedia under the

Yes a lot of people that doesn't like soccer or think soccer is for sissy's is because they live in the US but if they live anywhere else Soccer is the most popular sport everywhere so getting that out of the way, you would assumed that since black people dominated mostly every sport but not soccer would there be a reason? Most of the best players of the year are not black. There are some good players but mostly are not black. I'm not racist but I'm just wondering. They are good at basketball, football, sprint, mostly all. Asked by Shadow - Fri Feb 5 13:25:08 2010 - - 19 Answers - 1 Comments A. The only sports blacks really dominate in is basketball and running. Football is 60% black and 40% white, I don't consider that completely dominating, but they are the majority. blacks only make up around 9% of baseball, i'm assuming 3% of hockey, most olympic sports(winter and summer) are dominated by whites, boxing is becoming more white (most champions are becoming white) MMA is white dominated, wrestling is white dominated, swimming is white dominated, rugby and soccer are white dominated. I wouldn't say blacks dominate sports, maybe the popular ones, but definitely not all. Answered by Steve - Tue Feb 9 11:26:13 2010 What soccer related activities is there to do in Los Angeles?
