There are kids that play soccer around the globe that start when they are young and continue to play in the streets until they are older.

The World Cup has been around for years and years and is an event where the best teams from countries all over the earth get together to decide which team is the best team of all of the teams in the world. With soccer being so popular around the world, the event has become the most popular event of any sporting event in the world.
