จง แปลสารคดีต่อไปนี้เป็นภาษาไทย

Football is generally considered to be the most popular sport in the world. It doesn't require very much in the way of equipment, so it's just as easy for a group of children to play football in the street as it is for an organized team to play on a proper pitch. For many people, playing in a team is more interesting and more demanding than playing other kinds of sport, such as tennis and golf. At the professional level, football probably attracts more spectators and television viewers than any other sport, but it is here that the situation is perhaps not as healthy as it might seem. According to some, the profit motive has begun to dominate the game, and the more that clubs and players earn, the less they care about football as a game. In other words, winning at all costs and making as much money as possible are beginning to overwhelm the sport.
