Football is the most popular game in England. One of the most interesting things about football there to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has photos of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three times his age.

Most schools in England take football seriously-much more seriously than other European schools, where lessons are most important, and games are unimportant. In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom; education also means character training; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where the boy learns to work with others for his team instead of working selfishly for himself alone.
