Football (known also as soccer in America) is one of the world's most popular sports, and reasonably so, many countries in NS share the same enthusiasm for the sport. With roots dating to the Warring States Period in China, the sport was modernized in the 19th Century, using rules set in Great Britain. From there, the sport was exported and spread throughout the world, making it one of the most universal sports in the world. For more information about the sport as it relates to real life, please visit the Wikipedia article.

Football in NS

Since football is a real contact sport, there was some difficulty imagining ways to bring the sport to NS. The first original methods involved dice to roll scores, but it was unreliable as a useful method to makes scores for multiple matches. Later, programs designed to make scores (a.k.a. scorinate) made international competitions more streamline. The most popular variety of these programs (called scorinators) include Excel formatted equations and Java interactive programs. The general idea is that these programs generate random numbers to serve as scores for matches in as impartial a manner as possible, thereby offering every person a fair match regardless of who's performing the score calculations.

Another aspect of NS football includes the pervasive RPing aspect. While scores generate the results, every person expresses these results differently, leading to differing style of reporting. The most common and simplest form of RPing football results is to give a match summary. Some people involve their players in complicated plots, blending football into their nation's culture and politics. The random few develop random characters from football and generate genuine NS personalities that are widely famous in the NS community.

There are many other ways that NSers involve football in their countries, ranging from establishing it as the "official" sport of the country to establishing a National Team Roster.
