People love to watch football games in Wembley Stadium.I love football either.Thus I would like to say something about the football in UK.Football is the most famous sport in Great Britain.It has been played in hundreds of years.Actually the true development of football came in Medieval Britan.1000 years ago,people played ball with their feet in UK,there was no rules and also no limitation of the number of people.It was a very violent game.In the year 1314,the  game was banned by the Lord Mayor of London.However,this act vas againsted by the public who like this game.By the end of th e14th centry,the term'football'was created and this kind of game was established in England and developed rapidly.


Nowadays,football becomes very popular,you can see people play football in parks and playgrounds.they play just for fun.Football is also Scotland's natiional sport.It is played widely on both a professional and amateur basis,Most cities and towns have a professional team.Even Scotland has a very small club football structure,you can see there still have lots of people play the game.The top level league in Wales is the League of Wales. there are the top three Welsh football clubs play in the English league system.The main Welsh Cup competitions are the Welsh Cup and the FAW Premier Cup. In Northern Ireland,The main league  is the Irish Football League, which is only open to Northern Ireland teams, it is opposed to the Republic of Ireland.


Also,there are some very unusual sports.such as Aunt Sally, Barrel Walking,Cheese-Rolling,Coconut Shy,etc.I prefer coconut shy.Every players has 6 balls,they use the balls to throw at targets of coconuts balanced on raised stands.The one who shoot the most targets can be the winner.People like to buy coconut in the supermarket to play this game.I love this game because I like coconuts,maybe after game,we can drink the coconut milk!This game can improve our reaction and maybe could improve our eyesight.


In China,There are also some unusual games that small number of people play.For example,bungee-jumping,it is really dangeous and uncommon,I never have the courage to play this game because I think life is terriblly important.haha:))
