Football is the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this.
One of the most surprising things about football in England 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. Most schools in England take football seriously — much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all important, and games left for private (私人的) arrangements. In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy's mind with facts in a 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 has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working selfishly for himself alone. The school therefore arranges (安排) games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game, it is good exercise for the body, it needs skill and a quick brain, it is popular and cheap; as a result, it is the schools' favorite (喜爱的) game in the winter.
