Socccer


Soccer is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball. For me, it's the most popular sport in the world because it is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries. The most popular teams are in Europe. The top five of European leagues  are the Bundesliga (Germany), Premier League (England), La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy), and Ligue 1 (France) – attract most of the world's best players and each of the leagues has a total wage cost in excess of £600 million/€763 million/US$1.185 billion. The major international competition in football is the World Cup, organized by FIFA. The most prestigious competitions in club football are the respective continental championships, which are generally contested between national champions, for example the "UEFA Champions League" in Europe and the "Copa Libertadores de America" in South America. The winners of each continental competition contest the FIFA Club World Cup.
