原文


FIFA


Created in 1904  with seven member nations,FIFA(Federal International de Football Associations)is the international governing body of soccer.

Soccer is the most widely watched and played game in the world.

FIFA organizes the World Cup,which takes place every four years.

In many ways,the development of FIFA follows the organization of the sport of football/soccer itself.

At the start of the twentieth century,it was primitive in its organization and loosely structured.

However,by the end of the century,FIFA had affiliation in all six continents,with over 170 member countries.

Alongside the International Olympic Committee,FIFA is the largest sports organization in the world.

At the time of FIFA's creation,soccer had gained a followed in several countries,in large part due to British settlements.

It was not until 1863 that the sports of soccer and rugby were formally separated in England.

While both sports were important in British culture in the nineteen century,it was soccer that took off around the world at a much more accelerated rate.

As the twentieth century progressed,countries like Holland,Germany,Spain,Brazil,and many others became as good as,and in many cases better at the game than,the founding country.

The World Cup began in 1930 in Uruguay.

By then,FIFA had attained enough power and the game was so widespread that a world championship was justified.

By the time the 1998 World Cup was staged in France,112 countries competed.

Despite the sport originating in England,that country did not win a World Cup until 1966.

One notable exception to the soccer fanaticism that is seen in many countries around the world is the U.S.A.

There has always been a problem developing soccer in the country that dominated so many other professional and amateur sports.

One of the main reasons for this the country is inundated with its professional sports system.

For one reason or another,the U.S.A has opted for sports traditionally played in relatively few countries:American-style football,basketball,and what many consider to be the quintessential American sport,baseball.

There is also the problem soccer presents for American television networks.

Successful sports in the U.S.A. have usually been ones appropriate for commercial television.

Soccer,with it two 45-minute halves and long,uninterrupted play,is less than idea for commercials and advertising-based American television.

The most recent evolution in soccer has been in the women's game.

The 1999 Women's World Cup held in the U.S.A. was an unqualified success.

Indeed,FIFA's president proclaimed “the future of football is female ”.

国际足联


1904年7个成员国成立的国际足联(Federal International de Football Associations)是国际足球管理机构。

足球是世界上最受关注和最受欢迎的运动。
国际足联组织世界杯比赛,每四年举行一次。
在许多方面,国际足联的发展遵循着足球运动本身的组织。
在二十世纪初,它的组织原始,结构松散。
然而,到本世纪末,国际足联在六大洲都有分支机构,有超过170个成员国。
与国际奥委会一样,国际足联是世界上最大的体育组织。
在国际足联成立之初,足球在几个国家获得了关注,这在很大程度上要归功于英国的殖民。
直到1863年,足球和橄榄球运动才在英国正式分开。
尽管这两项运动在19世纪的英国文化中都很重要,但足球在世界范围内的发展速度要快得多。
随着20世纪的发展,荷兰、德国、西班牙、巴西和其他许多国家在这项运动上变得和创始国一样好,在很多情况下甚至比创始国还好。
世界杯始于1930年的乌拉圭。
那时,国际足联已经获得了足够的权力,这项运动已经如此广泛,所以世界锦标赛是合理的。
到1998年法国举办世界杯时,共有112个国家参赛。
尽管这项运动起源于英国,但该国直到1966年才赢得世界杯冠军。
在世界许多国家都能看到的足球狂热中,有一个值得注意的例外是美国
在这个主导了众多职业和业余运动的国家,足球的发展一直是个问题。
其中一个主要原因是这个国家充斥着职业体育系统。
由于这样或那样的原因,美国选择了传统上在相对较少的国家进行的运动:美式足球、篮球,以及许多人认为是美国运动精髓的棒球。
足球给美国电视网络带来一个问题。
在美国,成功的体育项目通常适合商业电视转播。
足球,两个45分钟的半场,长时间不间断的比赛,不太像商业广告和以广告为基础的美国电视节目。
足球运动的最新发展是女子比赛。
1999年在美国举行的女足世界杯取得了绝对的成功。
事实上,国际足联主席曾宣称“足球的未来是女性”。
