THE HISTORY OF THE SOCCER COUNTRIES 

Previously, I have written a brief history of soccer and its rule but this time I have even focused on a small parts of soccer history which make up the history of soccer. So now in that history, countries do participate in making soccer history. Each country has its own individual soccer history and it is equally important to the history of the soccer. I am writing on those countries with a short introduction to each country. 

Here are those countries:-

                                 BRAZIL: Brazil is one of the main country in the soccer history. Brazil has given soccer incredible and more talented players. So almost every player will love to watch this team's match.

In Brazil, soccer was started in 19th century. This was started by an Englishmen who were staying.This sport faced too many struggles in order to get played in Brazil. But in 1914, the first game in Brazil was played with a national team of their own nation. 

Brazil was eliminated from first world cup in the early stages but they made this sport as a attention to the public at that time. Brazilian players got their skills and talent in this game. Brazil gave too many players to soccer who are still unforgettable. Pele is One of them and a person who made Brazil to win two World Cup in a row. But it disappointed every fan who was attached with Brazilian team when Pele and some of other  players retired. After that, Brazil struggled lot to be in pace and to be on the top of tournament.

It is country from where rules for soccer were originated and some common references of soccer were given. In the 19th century football was played throughout the England.
