HISTORY OF FOOTBALL

No one really knows how was created many people say different things like it was made in England and played with a bumped up pigs bladder which they did do but that was long after football was created. The romans and ancient greeks came up with harpastum which was their version of football except they did not have goals instead they had to hold onto the ball for as long as possible in their own half of the field.

There was many different types of games similar to football played before football was created such as tsu chu which was recorded by FIFA as the first group of people to play with the proper rules. In kemari people in a circle trying to keep the ball up without it touching the ground which is still done today by many everyday.

I just find it crazy that these little games played back decades ago have turned into this huge sport that people pay hundreds of millions for people to play on their team.
