And anyone who isn't actually crippled can play (perhaps not very well, but you can play)---unlike gridiron or rugby where you have to be a great big hulking brute, or basketball where you need to be a great tall beanpole. And you don't need a lot of equipment--all you need is a reasonably flat bit of ground, something to mark the goals with, and a ball.
True, all true. Which is probably one of the reasons the game is so popular in so many countries. Especially in poorer countries. A ball, a flat bit of ground and few poles and crosspieces to mark the goals and your in business.
