Many  people  all  over  the  world  are  interested  in  sport.  Sport  helps  people  to  stay  healthy  and  makes  them  more  organized  and  better  disciplined  in  their  daily  activities.Australians  are  lucky.  They  have  a  perfect  climate,  and  an  endless  amount  of  land.  In  September  attention  is  attached  to  Melbourne  where   Australian  Football   Cup  takes  place  Australian  Football   is  played  in  Australia  only.  There  are  two  teams  of  18  players  in  this   game.  The  players  are  allowed  to  play  with  their  legs   and  arms.  The  participation  is  the  game  demands  great  physical  strength  and  very  often  injured  players  are  carried  away  from  the  field  or  are  replaced  by  other  players.  Grand  Australian  Football   Cup  is  the  biggest  sports  competition  of  the  year.Americans  play  most  international  sports  but  they  do  not  play  football  in  the  same  way  as  the  rest  of  the  world.  Americans  love  winter  sports  and  ice  hockey  is  the  most  popular  game.  This  game  is   very  fast  and  can  be  dangerous.  But  they  are  really  good  at  baseball. Baseball  is  the  most  popular  summer  sport  in America.  To  play  baseball  you  need  teams  of  9  players.  American  start  playing  baseball  young.  There  are  “leagues”  which  children  of  8  can  join.  The  top  players  become  big  stars.The  British  have  reputation  for  being  mad  about  sports.  In  fact  they  like  watching  sports  more  than  playing  them.  The  British  are  spectator  and  the  most  popular  spectator   sports  are  cricket  and  football. Football  or  soccer,  is  an  example  of  a  professional  game.Rugby  is  another  popular  British  sport.  It  is  also  called  rugby  football.  The  story  is  told  that  in  1823  boys  at  Rugby  school  in  England  were  playing  football  in  the  normal  way,  when  suddenly  one  boy  picked  the  ball  up  and  ran  with  it.  That  was  how  a  new  game  was  born.  There  are  2   forms  of  rugby  football:  the  amateur  game  and  the  professional  game.  The  2  games  have  different  rules.So  we  have  all  grounds  to  say  that  sport  is  one  of  the   things  that  makes  people  kin.
