Amber: How do you play soccer and how does it work worldwide?
Ok I am trying to learn about soccer and everything that goes with it but it is just confusing. I know that the Euro 2008 is going on right now. But what is it and what is also FIFA and the World Cup. I just learned that Canada has a world cup too. There is also UEFA. What is all this stuff? Someone please help me understand because I am a softball player and I don’t get any of this. Thanks!

ahhh there is way to much to explain, go to wikipedia and type in
UEFA and FIFA and World Cup and Euro 2008 it should answer most of your questions
and probably you must be from the US.
the rest of the world call it Football, it is only the Americans and Canadians who call it Soccer.
there is one major tournament which is held every 4 years with 32 teams, from 32 countries. it is called the world cup. it depends on FIFA (which is the main organization/Federation for soocer) to hold it where.
other continents also have it every 4 years. but it shouldn’t be at the same time with the world cup,
Eufa is the federation of Europe Football.
every country also has its own league. some of the teams qualify to play in international or European tournaments such as The Champions League which is held every year for Eurpean countries.
