Hi Hive Lovers
The World Cup has been very popular even since it was first held in 1930 and won by Uruguay. It is currently the 22nd World Cup.
The World Cup euphoria, which is held once every four years, captures the attention of millions of people around the world. People not only support their country, which has qualified for the World Cup, but citizens of any country always follow and support the team from another country they like.
Why do football and the World Cup always grab the attention of millions of people and are even watched and broadcast live to all parts of the world?
In simple terms, we can all draw three conclusions as to why football is the most popular sport in the world.
1. Easy Game
Football is a very easy sport to play. It only takes the cooperation of several people to put the ball into the opponent's goal.
To play the game of soccer, people only need a ball to play with. In various corners of the village, small children even play football using a round object instead of a ball. It could be anything, right?
Football games can also be played in the field, in the yard of a house that is a little wide, on a sloping beach, in a quiet alley or highway, and so on.
The rules are very simple and can be easily understood by everyone, whether playing or watching.
2. Cheap Games
Football games also do not require expensive equipment, only special soccer shoes. It can even be played with bare feet, as is practiced by small children in various corners of the village.
The game of soccer is really easy to learn and can be played by anyone; it doesn't require as much complicated equipment as in other sports.
Even professional soccer players require only the addition of shin protectors to their equipment. Those who play professionally will also get a lot of money for their professionalism in playing football.
3. Games Together
The game of football is really a joint effort by several people who have various roles, and it requires strategy and cooperation.
Every player, with their respective roles, has the same opportunity to do anything with the ball being played with the aim of winning their game.
Only in professional matches are football matches played by two teams, each consisting of 11 players. Football games can even be played with a smaller amount as long as the numbers are balanced. In fact, matches can be played with or without a goalkeeper.
Football really has brought together many people, even uniting people in various parts of the world. The values of sportsmanship and fair play in football should unite us in all our interactions with all people, regardless of their shape, skin color, or where they come from.
We are all keepers of world peace, and football is one of the most popular sports in the world that unites us all.
