English Soccer History – Early Days
It's hard to determine exactly how soccer became so popular in
England in the 19th century, but the truth is that in the mid
19th century, almost every major town had a semi-professional
soccer team. These teams were usually associations of workers
from the same factory or institution or simply students at a
local University.
Matches between those teams were played occasionally, with
little to no prize, but only for competition'
these matches were played without any rules or a referee and as
soccer isn't necessarily a sport that's completely clean of
violence, all it took was a harsh tackle or an argument about a
particular rule to start a bloody fight between the two teams
and their supporters.
But the year 1863 marked an extremely important chapter in
English soccer history, as several soccer clubs from all over
the country (prominently from London) met up in the English
capital and set up a sort of "soccer constitution" called the
Laws of the Game (a modified version of the original rules are
still in effect today and are still called as such).
That was also the birth certificate of the Football
Association, or simply FA that is still ruling over English
soccer nowadays and had a tremendous importance throughout the
history of soccer in England and the way it evolved.
English Soccer History – Important Milestones
With England being rightfully considered the inventors of
modern soccer, one would expect them to be amongst the most
successful national squads in the World. However, despite
having some world class soccer players throughout time and
despite always being favorites for the competitions they start
in, the English national squad only achieved few important
milestones throughout the entire soccer history in England.
The apogee of English soccer and the most important chapter
ever to be written in the entire history of soccer in England
was definitely the successful World Cup run in 1966, a
competition that was held on English ground, giving them the
advantage to grasp their long-awaited trophy.
The 1966 team, captained by legendary Bobby Moore and with
other key components such as Jackie Charlton or Geoff Hurst
playing regularly, remains the best national squad in the
entire English soccer history, especially since their success
has not been equaled ever since.
English Soccer History – Modern Era
England is still a top team in Europe and throughout the World
and has some players that are considered having world class
quality, but the national team still has moderate success,
despite being star-studded.
Recently, the form of English clubs overshadowed the poor
performance of the national team, as Manchester United,
Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal continue to be heavy contenders
for each year's European Champion's League, the most
prestigious club competition in the World.
Despite being happy with the respect English clubs impose in
Europe, fans are still yearning for that long awaited European
or World Cup which could mark a new important chapter in the
English soccer history.
