This is my favorite sport & player

Soccer is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a round ball and is known as football in most countries outside of the United States. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries, making it the world's most popular sport. My favorite player would have to be Neymar. Soccer developed in London’s famed Newgate Prison in the early 1800s. Prisoners who had their hands cut off for crimes of theft came up with a sport that used only the feet. The game spread from there. There are 32 panels on a traditional soccer ball, one for each country in Europe. Known as “soccer” in the United States, the sport is known as “football” elsewhere. But the game’s original name was actually “basket-ball” because the first goals were overturned wicker baskets.
