Soccer originated in England over a hundred years ago. Over that time it’s popularity steadily rose, and in the past 20 years the amount of exposure it has gained as reached new, unthought of proprtions.
There are various reasons for it’s popularity, a couple of which are…
1) Minimal cost. All you need to play soccer is a ball. There are of course other accessories which could be bought, but a ball alone will do just fine.
2) You can play on yourself or with just a few friends. Though professional soccer requires that each team have 11 players, you can play for fun on yourself or with even a couple of your friends.
