Dead´s Day (Dia de Muertos)

Dead´s Day is one of the most popular traditions here in Mexico.
The "objective" of this tradition is to remember those people that aren´t now with us; it is common to make an "ofrenda" like tribute to the dead people with things that they used to eat or drink while they were alive like tacos, mole, chicken, beers, cigarrets, coffe, water, etc.
Its is also common that kids go out to streets at night in November 1st  to ask for candies fruit and in some cases money at the houses of all the neighborhood like in Halloween.
On October 27th, Prepa 1 celebrated Dead´s Day, students went to school disguised with the most common characters, like The Devil, Chuckie, The Catrina, Skulls, Mummies, etc; and some groups put a Thematic Ofrenda related with the most recent and popular deads like for example the Steve Job´s ofrenda that was like a postmortem award for that smart man, Steve Jobs.
By Conclusion...
Dead´s Day is a very thypical, cultural and popular traidition for this country becsuse it represents all the dead people that was important for each one of us and... now they are gone, so its like a pretty way to remember those people by putting to them te ofrendas and disguising ourselves with those famous dead´s day monsters.

Soccer´s History.

Games revolving around the kicking of a ball have been played in many countries throughout history. According to FIFA, the "very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise from a military manual dating back to the second and third centuries BC in China", which was known as cuju. The modern rules of association football are based on the mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played at the public schools of England. The history of football in England dates back to at least the eighth century.

The Cambridge Rules, first drawn up at Cambridge University in 1848, were particularly influential in the development of subsequent codes, including association football. The Cambridge Rules were written at Trinity College, Cambridge, at a meeting attended by representatives from Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrewsbury schools. They were not universally adopted. During the 1850s, many clubs unconnected to schools or universities were formed throughout the English-speaking world, to play various forms of football. Some came up with their own distinct codes of rules, most notably the Sheffield Football Club, formed by former public school pupils in 1857, which led to formation of a Sheffield FA in 1867. In 1862, John Charles Thring of Uppingham School also devised an influential set of rules^.

The laws of the game are currently determined by the International Football Association Board (IFAB).The Board was formed in 1886 after a meeting in Manchester of The Football Association, the Scottish Football Association, the Football Association of Wales, and the Irish Football Association. The world's oldest football competition is the FA Cup, which was founded by C. W. Alcock and has been contested by English teams since 1872. The first official international football match took place in 1872 between Scotland and England in Glasgow, again at the instigation of C. W. Alcock. England is home to the world's first football league, which was founded in Birmingham in 1888 by Aston Villa director William McGregor. The original format contained 12 clubs from the Midlands and the North of England. FIFA, the international football body, was formed in Paris in 1904 and declared that they would adhere to Laws of the Game of the Football Association. The growing popularity of the international game led to the admittance of FIFA representatives to the International Football Association Board in 1913. The board currently consists of four representatives from FIFA and one representative from each of the four British associations

Today, football is played at a level all over the world. Millions of people regularly go to football stadiums to follow their favourite teams, while billions more watch the game on television or on the internet.A very large number of people also play football at an amateur level. According to a survey conducted by FIFA published in 2001, over 240 million people from more than 200 countries regularly play football.Football has the highest global television audience in sport.

There are 17 laws in the official Laws of the Game. The same laws are designed to apply to all levels of football, although certain modifications for groups such as juniors, seniors, women and people with physical disabilities are permitted. The laws are often framed in broad terms, which allow flexibility in their application depending on the nature of the game. The Laws of the Game are published by FIFA, but are maintained by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), not FIFA itself. In addition to the seventeen laws, numerous IFAB decisions and other directives contribute to the regulation of football. The most complex of the laws is offside. The offside law limits the ability of attacking players to receive the ball when closer to the opponent's goal line than: the ball itself; the second-to-last defending player (which can include the goalkeeper); and the half-way line.
