Mexican Soccer
For every country there is a sport that has been known to capture the imagination of everyone. This is true in Mexico where soccer has found a home. Mexican soccer came into the country long before any of the European settlers or conquerors even heard of Mexico. The ancient Aztec and Toltec civilizations that were living in Mexico played a similar game.
At time Mexican soccer was not played on a large field but rather on an I shaped field where the players attempted to toss the ball through a ring that was attached to one of the walls in the field. The modern game of soccer was brought to Mexico by English expatriates. As time passed the aristocracy and the elite were the ones who played soccer. Later on you could see that Mexican soccer had spread all over Mexico.
