Answer 2

The Chinese in 400 B.C. played a version of soccer with a ball stuffed with hair. The Romans also played a version of soccer called Harpastan. Julius Caesar reportedly used the game to train his armies. Soccer was played in various forms in England for about four hundred years before it was accepted as a respectable game.
On May 21, 1904, the Federation Internationale de Football Association (F.I.F.A.) was founded, which formulated rules and regulations governing the game of soccer. The F.I.F.A. is responsible for all international games, as well as the World Cup Tournament held every four years.

Answer 3

We have to thank the students of the 1880s for the word "soccer". It seems it was the practice amonst the well bred students of Oxford to abbreviate words whilst adding "er" to the end; "brekkers" for breakfast for example.

On asked if he wanted to play "rugger" (i.e. the "rugby rules") a student replied "no, soccer", an abbreviation of "association", or the "association rules", i.e. the rules of the Football Association in London.

"Footer" was also used, but could have referred to either code.

David Pickering's "Soccer Companion" (Cassell, 1994) names the student as Charles Wreford Brown, later an England international and F.A. vice-president.
