         Women's soccer, although having a huge popularity in the last decades of the 20th century and today, was always shadowed by the men's soccer, but the ladies are determined to change this and come to equal standards with the boys. The way things are moving currently, it's not impossible that this will someday happen as it's already close to happening in other sports such as handball, volleyball and tennis. But before going into details on what's currently happening in women's soccer and what's going to happen in the near future, let's take a look inside the history of women's soccer and find out where and when it was born as well as meeting some of the legendary ladies. The first written document related to the history of soccer can be found in a 300 BC Chinese war manual, used by men to familiarize themselves with their ancient version of the sport, which included kicking a ball (made out of pig bladders or stuffed leather) through a hole in a cloth tied up between two poles. Although there's no proof that women played this sport as well, there is a clear reference to this that is often used as the start-point of the history of women's soccer. The reference is depicted in a Han Dynasty fresco believed to be created around 200 CE, which clearly shows two female figures playing with what is believed to be a leather ball.

        My thoughts. I just realize since I am a girl that does play soccer the importance in women's soccer. It is by far shadowed by men's soccer and for me thats kinda understandable. Boys soccer tends to play a much faster game so it is more interesting. Girls soccer will always be my top pick over boys, and hopefully for many other girls out there.
