The rules of football


Now days, football is quite popular in the world. There are some culture about football rules .The English in the 19th century created the first rules for the game of soccer . Ebenezer Cobb Morley was the first to draw up the laws in the Laws of the Game. The laws were approved at a meeting of the Football Association (FA) on 8 December 1863. 
This was done because the rules of soccer were still relatively free and easy, with no standard form of the game. Each school or club in fact developed its own adaptation and, at times, these varied considerably.Without a referee to enforce them, or clear specifications to these rules. For example, what would have been considered a foul in Liverpool might have been accepted as a fair tackle in London. Since soccer sparks some pretty intense competition at times, it caused serious troubles in mid 19th century England. And Soccer fights became common. This caused most of the London clubs to meet in the Freemasons' Tavern in London on 26 October 1863, forming the Football Association (FA). They decided that they would need certain rules for the game of soccer if they were to keep on playing competitively.
