First soccer clubs

First soccer clubs

First official soccer team named Sheffield Football Club (Sheffield F.C) was created in 1857 by two members of Sheffield cricket club. The club was founded a full 6 years before the rules of the game were codified at the first meeting of The Football Association, so they have to write the primary rules on their own, which were focusing mainly about free kicks and fouls. These rules even say about players outfit: “Each player must provide himself with a red and dark blue flannel cap, one colour to be worn by each side.” One interesting thing is that Sheffield was only football club for three years so cause of lack of competition they have to play matches versus their teammates. They often shared on  "Married v Singles" or "Professionals v the Rest".

Hallam F.C. founded in 1860 is a second in history soccer club. It was a small amateur soccer club from Sheffield, England, but his history is significant. After being established in 1860, the club competed in the first ever inter-club match with Sheffield F.C., then won what is believed to be the world’s first organized soccer tournament in 1867. Moreover, the team still plays on their original field at historic Sandygate, which the Guinness Book of Records recognizes as the oldest sport grounds in the world.

    I agree with @Szymek Bratek. You could add some photos of that Sandygate seeing that it's the oldest sport ground in the world.

Is there a chance that we will stop being a throwaway society?

Chances for sotop being a throwaway society are very small and even if it works it would be a long time proces. It's fine for us as it is now. We get used to comfort and we didn't take care about environment. Some time ago it wasn't as visible but now it became a real problem. As it's known people don't like to change and it's hard to make them more ecological. On the other hand there are some companies which advertise and encourage working on making our planet clean. Howewer these groups are just small percent of people so they can't make a lot.

thoughts

Last week I've noticed thing that is one of the most popular stereotypes connected with school. It says that every teacher takes his subject as the most important subject on the world. As long as we talk about gymnasium where classes aren't profiled it's not so bad when it' come to high school when everyboby have their profile like math-physics-english making so big pressure on other subjects which students are not interested in is useless. I thing that teachers should be more distanced and dont make as big pressue on pupils who don't expand their subject
