football became very popular and people paid money to watch, the clubs changed the rule and allowed anyone
to play. Nonetheless, they just wanted excellent players.
Football became a professional sport and spread around the world. The first international match ever was
between Scotland and England in 1870. International matches became more common after 1900. In 1930, the first
