Passage I

Football

is,

I

believe,

the

most

popular

game

in

England:

one

has

only

to

go

to

one

of

the

important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for one

side or the other.

To a stranger, one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge

of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most

of the important teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He

will tell you who he expects will win such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of

men three or four times his age.

Most schools in England take football seriously

——

much more seriously than nearly all European

schools,

where

lessons

are

important,

and

games

are

left

for

the

children

themselves.

In

England,

it

is

believed that education is not only a matter of filling a

boy’s mind with facts in the classroom, education

also means the training of character; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games,

especially team

games,

where the boy or

girl

has to

learn to

work with

others

for his

team,

instead of

working

for

himself

alone.

The

school

therefore

plans

games

and

matches

for

its

pupils.

Football

is

a

good

team

game,

it

is

good

both

for

the

body

and

the

mind.

That

is

why

it

is

every

school’s

game

in

England.
