Wow. The England national football team's first international match was in 1870.
Hi!  I cannot wait until football season starts up again!  They better be training now and getting ready! Yeah, did you know that 250 million people play it in more that 200 countries? Wow!  Association football is both soccer and football. It is the most played sport in the world. Yes, soccer is actually an abbreviation of the word association. Isn't that interesting? It is cool I guess...  I like that they been involving women for a long time.  England in 1894 had a team the British Ladies' Football Club. That's great. Women's football in England has seen a large increase since the 1990s. Despite being more popular than some men's football events (one match saw a 53,000 strong crowd),[60] women's football in England suffered a blow in 1921 when The Football Association outlawed the playing of the game on Association members' pitches, on the grounds that the game (as played by women) was distasteful.
The history of the England national football team begins with the first ever international football match in 1870.
