Football is very famous all over the world and it is a very popular game in Britain. It is called soccer in this country. The British are interested in this sports event since early childhood. Every boy in Britain knows a lot about the game. He can tell you the names of the players of top teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of many matches.

The soccer season begins in the middle of August, usually on the second Saturday. All amateur and professional teams do their best and train hard to win their matches.

Football is also played in the USA, but American football is quite different from European soccer.

This afternoon I'm taking my cousin and my uncle to a football match. Simon's never seen a professional game. Uncle Guy hasn't seen one for years. Today's match is between Arsenal and Liverpool.

Both of these teams are very good this season. I haven't seen Liverpool this season. They're often the best teams in the first division. I often go to the football matches. I usually go to Highbury to see Arsenal. Their games are always good. I sometimes go to see Chelsea. Some of their games are good, others are bad. Rugby's another exciting sport, but I don't usually go to a rugby game.

The best sport's football.
