10 Best Soccer Blogs Every Fan Should Follow. Top Story - May 2018.
I haven't always been into soccer. I grew up watching baseball with my dad, and was a die-hard Yankees fan for a long time. He was never really into soccer, so I didn't care about it much. Once I got into high school though, I had a lot of friends who were really into the game and so, like any impressionable teenager, I got into it too. I'm glad I did though, because now I'm a huge fan of the sport.

They're less of a hassle, since they require less care as an authentic might, but why settle for something that is, in essence, fake? They may be far from inexpensive, but what the authentic jersey holds in personal value outweighs all other opinions under this conundrum: replica or authentic? The latter is probably something you would much rather not wear, possibly other than for soccer games. All true sports fans, soccer's included, know that nothing quite beats owning a piece of the real thing from their favorite sport. It's much like having a signed football, or baseball bat.

When Was Soccer Invented?
We all know that soccer is an international sport that's loved by a wide range of people from different cultures and countries. Even though it's either called soccer or football in certain countries, it's still the exact same sport with the same concept and regulations. We know the basic rules of soccer and some of us know a few of the cool tricks they pull off on the field. While some of us enjoy playing the sport, the majority of us lose our minds when watching it on television or live in the stadium.
