     The United States of America invented a lot of sports which are practiced worldwide. Peru didn't invent any particular sport;but there is one sport that connects the United States and Peru together, known as soccer. British merchant sailors brought soccer to Peru many years ago. For many years soccer was only played by the upper socials classes in their clubs, but then soccer began to spread among all the social classes many years later, but when soccer spread among social classes it became extremely popular, and a passion for Peruvians. Although soccer is so popular is Peru, its national team has not reached a level to compete successfully in the soccer World Cup in the last 25 years. According to an article, Peru does indeed have good soccer players, but lacks the prior resources such as fields and sport facilities. Soccer has not been played in the United States for too long, but the USA National Team for soccer has been in the World Cup more times then Peru. The Northern American Soccer League was founded in late 2009 after multiple teams broke away from the United Soccer Leagues. Soccer was first brought to America by European immigrants in the 1900s, and in the 1900s competitions and leagues were being developed in America. The first two decades of the 19th century were a very fertile time for soccer Peru's National Football team was founded in 1927 and most of the football's team games are played in Lima, Peru. Peruvian soccer and American soccer are very similar, but they have their differences, which make both nation's sports unique and diverse.
