1. History of soccer

　

Do you know soccer? Soccer is sometimes called football. As the name suggest, soccer is sport of kicking a ball. And the team which makes more goal than the opponent team is winner. It is very simple sport. There are many rumors of origin of soccer, however, International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) regards China as the oldest form of it. In fifteenth century, there was play like soccer in Italy. The name is Calcio. It is the nearest existence of modern soccer. It is England that football was formed as a modernistic sport. At the beginning, although it carried out with the form near play of a farm village, it gradually carried out by preparing appearance as a sport. In this time, the football differed in the rule for every school. But the common rule was drawn up in Cambridge University in 1846. This became a basis of the rule of the present soccer. In this way, although it converged on the 2 large-number-of-people power of the "rule which forbids using a hand" centering on the Eaton college, and the "rule which permits using a hand" centering on a Rugby school by the 1850s, still big distance was among both. And farewell of two games (soccer and Rugby) was achieved. This was just a moment of soccer birth. Further the football association was established by the representatives of the public school who asserted the rule "which forbids using a hand." The soccer which was able to be begun in England spread in British each area (Scotland, Wales, Ireland). Though it was private in London, the world's first international match was held between England and Scotland on March 5, 1870. And the first formal international match was carried out between England and Scotland in the world on November 30, 1872. In England, FA cup which will be the first soccer convention 1872 was started. This is a model of the cup game in many other countries and the area. Moreover, domestic outstanding player clubs were collected and the football league which started in 1888 was carried out. In soccer, this is the first league match and many countries and the area make it the model of the league match of their own country.  The first International Convention was an Olympics soccer game in soccer.

And their colleges also in Ibaraki. I had played soccer until high school student. My position was MF. When I'm a junior high school student, my soccer team was the best 8 in Ibaraki. But I don't play it in college. Instead soccer, I am going to play futsal. I like various sports and recently I am interested in watching baseball. I am a fan of Giants so last year when it won the Japan Series I was very glad. My favorite baseball player is Ogasawara Michihiro. His swing is very hearty. But, recenty, he is bad condition so I expect his revival. . I'm sorry that I don't have enough time to spare watching baseball game since entering in university of Tsukuba. I would start playing tennis in college. And I belong to tennis circle called Picnic. Also I am a member of executive committee of Yadokarisai. Do you know Yadokarisai? It is one of the big events of university of Tsukuba. It is a festival led by a first grader. I am in department of outside negotiations. This department's work is collection of funds and playing Japanese drum. I played the Japanese drum as a member. I was a beginner but it became good memory. Interestingly, they call nickname each other. My nickname is `Shougakuichinennsei`. The name origins from magazine. In our department, freshman's name derive from magazine, sophomore's name derive from ice, junior's name from chocolate and senior's name from coffee. Members of the committee is very friendly so I like it very much. I'm very sad that this year Yadokarisai had already finished. But all of our work is not management it. There are some clubs in Yadokarisai. For example, baseball club, tennis club, basketball club, stagecoach club, bowling club, ramen club, playing club and so on. I am a member of the bowling club and playing club. I have never joined the activities yet so I want to join them swiftly. We also have a lot of events.

I must study hard because I am not good at math and Tsukuba's classes are very difficult for me. So to graduate this college, I need to study. Now I am in the engineering system department in university of Tsukuba. We make robots and study energy. I haven't still found my dream so I want to find what I want to do in the future and to try it hard.
