From which country was football soccer originated from ?

Answer 1

I was originally an english sport.

Answer 2

Soccer, a tough sport conditioning wise, is not the physical *** kicking game that american football is and thus is not the overall physically taxing game that american football is. You need more long distance endurance to play soccer, but american football is the most taxing thing you can play, particularly the higher in levels you go (ie, high school, college, pros) because every play is complete 100% exertion of your whole body whereas soccer is cross country kicking a ball. I think also you look at american football and their are three basic offensive units and three basic defensive units working together to beat the other. It's like a ballet on 'roids except they're trying to beat each other's ***. Plus you can't tell me that you don't get a little wood watching highlights on ESPN (or even better, Tom Jackson's "Jacked Up" on ESPN) seeing some guy getting knocked *** over tea kettle. I believe the reason why american football is popular here and not very popular else where is because it does take a certain type of people to be interested in the game. I think american football exemplifies the rogue, outstated, desire-to-dominate American Spirit that 'won the west' so to speak. Other countries probably don't understand that.

Answer 3

In 1872 the world's first international game took place in Glasgow between Scotland and England. England adopted a 1-1-8 system with Scotland playing 2-2-6, yet amazingly the game ended in a 0-0 draw.

Answer 4

The earliest documented version of football was Cuju during the Quin Dynasty around 205 BCE. The first time rules were formulated that were recognisably Association Football (Soccer) was at Trinity College Cambridge in 1848.

The modern game descends from the English Football Association formed in 1863

Ginger_Cow, just been to the fifa.com site and there's no acknowledgement at all of Aberdeen's supposedly pivotal role. I agree, though that Scotland has played a great part in the development of football in the past. So it's a real shame that they play so little part in the present.

Answer 5

The football we are familiar with today originated in England that is without question the English Football Association is the oldest in the world sure. That being said there is a small case that would suggest that the English add opted this game from and ancient Chinese sport that i can remember the name of.

Answer 6

England

Answer 7

The modern game of football is considered to have originated in England in 1863.

However, a Scotsman David Wedderburn, described a game similar to football being played in Scotland in the 17th Century. In his book Vocabula, published in 1633, he described as a game played between two teams with goals and goalkeepers at either end of a pitch.

Therefore, like golf Scotland was/is the cradle of football. The Celtic people`s invented an awful lot of things.

Answer 8

England!

Answer 9

England is known to have formalised the game, but not essentially having invented football, as indians in south and north america played a similar game as well as in Italy they played the calcio hundreds of years ago.

Answer 10

Up until very recently it was thought that a ball kicking game similar to football originated in China, with England being the first country to put formal rules to the game.

However, David Wedderburn described a game similar to football being played in ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND in the 17th Century. The discovery of his book has led FIFA to acknowledge that the game of Football as we know it was invented in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Wedderburn's book, which describes the game and it's rules, is on display in the German Football Museum for the duration of the World Cup.
