Cricket, soccer, rugby, tennis, squash, table tennis, badminton, canoeing and snooker were all invented in Britain. The first rules for such sports as boxing, golf, hockey, yachting and horse-racing also originated from Britain. The most popular sports that people take part in, rather than watching, are angling, snooker and darts. Cricket is very much the English game. It is often played in schools, colleges, universities and by club teams all over the country. Summer isn’t summer without cricket. To many Englishmen cricket is both a game and a standard of behaviour. When they consider anything unfair they sometimes say: “That isn’t cricket.” Football at the beginning was a contest between neighbouring villages – with no limit to the number on each side, no fixed pitch and almost no rules. The Football association drew up the rules of the modern game in 1863 and in 1888 twelve clubs joined together to form the first Football League. England won the World Cup in 1966. Today football is the game that attracts the greatest attention. Next to football, the chief spectator sport in Britain life is horse-racing. A lot of people are interested in the races and risk money on the horse, which they think will win The Derby. It is perhaps the most famous single sporting event in the world. Golf was probably invented in Holland, but today it is one of the most popular games in Britain, especially in Scotland. A great number of people play and watch tennis. Tennis tournaments at Wimbledon are known all over the world. The innumerable tennis courts of Britain are occupied by people between the ages of 16 and 60 who show every degree of skill– from practically helpless to extremely able. There are a lot of sports and games, which are popular both among youngster sand grown-ups. 25 million of grown-up people take part in sports.
