Today, a popular colour of soccer jersey is the green and gold; this is the colours of Australian Socceroos. The Australian Socceroos are the national team of Australia governed by the Football Federation Australia and is under the Federation Internationale de Football Association or FIFA. The Socceroos obtained this popularity back in the grand stage of football known as the World Cup in 2006. Football wasn’t a popular sport in Australia and was considered a place where football was dying. This was changed however by the FFA and Socceroos. After that, they became a popular team especially among their own countrymen. Football or soccer was no longer a dying sport in Australia; it was revived by the Soccerroos. This gave them their popularity and the Soccerroos jersey of green and gold is a colour to watch.
The world’s most popular game is confusingly known as soccer or football depending on where you are. It is arguably the most popular team sport as it is played by millions of people and watched by billions. The huge fan base is crazy and fanatical. How come it became so popular? Even Australia has their Australian Socceroos.
Mainly there are two reasons for the game’s popularity. First is that soccer offers spectators a great competition of athleticism and skill as players scramble for the ball in the field. It is a continuous, fast paced, action packed game which is very fun to watch. The other reason can be attributed to the simplicity of the game. In playing the game, players primarily use their feet to control the ball and score a goal. In order to score a goal, a player needs to knock the ball into the goal cage. In the end of the game, the team with the most goals are declared the winner. Playing soccer needs little equipment, the goal and the ball which can even be make shift. The game is played on a level patch of land. A players kit consists of shoes/shorts/jersey – you can’t get much simpler than that.
