Who invent the game of soccer?

the aztecksSoccer is believed to have evolved from ancient games. Cuju was played by the Chinese in the 2nd century BCE. The game, as soccer does today, involved players kicking a leather ball. In Cuju, the object was to kick the ball into a hole in a piece of silk. The sheet of silk was held up by two 10 meter poles. Later, in 600 CE, the Japanese started playing a game called Kemari. The object was to keep a ball up in the air for as long as possible. From those games and possible others, the game, soccer was born. The game became a popular game for kids and adults alike, which started its spread across Europe. The game, soccer, is now the most popular sport in the world.

Em que ano o futebol foi praticado pela primeira vez?

A atividade mais antiga que se assemelha ao futebol moderno da qual se tem conhecimento data dos séculos III e II a. C. Estes dados são baseados em um manual de exercícios correspondentes à dinastia Han da antiga China. O jogo era chamado ts'uh Kúh (cuju), e consistia em lançar uma bola com os pés para uma pequena rede. Uma variante incluía uma modalidade onde o jogador deveria passar pelo ataque dos seus adversários. Também no Extremo Oriente, embora cerca de cinco ou seis séculos depois do cuju, existia uma variante japonesa chamada kemari, que tinha um caráter mais cerimonial, sendo o objetivo do jogo manter uma bola no ar passando-a entre os jogadores. O kemari até hoje é praticado no Japão, em eventos culturais. No Mediterrâneo destacaram-se duas formas de jogo: o harpastum, em Roma, e o epislcyros, na Grécia, sobre o qual se tem pouca informação. O primeiro era disputado por duas equipes em um terreno retangular demarcado e dividido pela metade por uma linha. Os jogadores de cada equipe podiam passar uma pequena bola entre eles, e o objetivo do jogo era enviá-la ao campo contrário. Esta variante foi muito popular entre os anos 700 e 800, e, apesar de ter sido introduzida nas Ilhas Britânicas, sua ascensão até o futebol moderno é incerta. Durante a Era dos Descobrimentos, começou-se a conhecer desportos provenientes do Novo Mundo. Estima-se que o pok ta pok da cultura maia teria 3 000 anos de história. Na Groenlândia também se jogava um desporto que se assemelhava ao futebol, ao passo que o jogo denominado marngrook, da Oceania, tinha características que o assemelhava ao futebol australiano. Onde hoje se localizam os Estados Unidos os aborígenes praticavam outros jogos: o pasuckuakohowog na área continental central e o asqaqtuk no Alasca. Embora estes jogos tiveram certas características que os assemelham ao futebol e outros desportos variados modernos, a incidência dos mesmos nos desportos atuais é discutível, já que praticamente não há vínculos dos mesmos com as Ilhas Britânicas, o berço do futebol moderno. Nos finais da Idade Média e séculos posteriores desenvolveram-se nas Ilhas Britânicas e em zonas circunvizinhas distintos tipos de jogos de equipe, os quais eram conhecidos como códigos de futebol. Estes códigos foram se unificando com o passar do tempo, mas foi na segunda metade do século XVII que ocorreram as primeiras grandes unificações do futebol, que deram origem ao rúgbi, ao futebol americano, ao futebol australiano etc. e ao desporto que hoje é conhecido em grande parte do mundo como futebol. Os primeiros códigos britânicos se caracterizavam por terem poucas regras e por sua extrema violência. Um dos mais populares foi o futebol escolar. Por esta razão o futebol escolar foi proibido na Inglaterra por um decreto do Rei Eduardo III, que alegou ser um desporto não-cristão, e a proibição perdurou por 500 anos. O futebol escolar não foi a única forma de jogo da época; de fato existiram outras formas mais organizadas, menos violentas e inclusive que se desenvolveram fora das Ilhas Britânicas. Um dos jogos mais conhecidos foi o calcio fiorentino, originário da cidade de Florência, na Itália, no período da renascença, no século XVI. Este desporto influenciou em vários aspectos o futebol atual, não somente por suas regras, mas também pelo ambiente de festa em que se jogavam estas partidas. Já com as regras do futebol bem definidas, começou-se a disputar os primeiros jogos e torneios com esta nova modalidade. Em 30 de novembro de 1872, Escócia e Inglaterra disputaram a primeira partida oficial entre seleções nacionais, jogo que acabou num empate sem gols. A partida foi disputada no Hamilton Crescent, atual campo de críquete, em Patrick, Escócia. Entre janeiro de março de 1884 foi disputada a primeira edição do British Home Championship, que até seu fim foi o torneio entre seleções mais antigo da história. O primeiro título foi ganho pela Escócia. Em 20 de julho de 1871, um jornal britânico propôs a criação de um torneio que fosse organizado pela Football Association, o primeiro passo para a criação da Copa da Inglaterra. Nesse ano, a Football Association era composta por 30 equipes, mas somente 15 decidiram participar da primeira edição do torneio, a FA Cup 1871-1872, que foi ganha pelo Wanderers F.C. A primeira competição de liga chegou na temporada 1888/1889 com a criação da Football League. Participaram 12 equipes afiliadas à FA, e cada uma jogou 22 partidas. Este torneio foi vencido pelo Preston North End Football Club, que conseguiu o feito de vencer invicto.

What country did soccer come from?

Games revolving around the kicking of a spherical ball have been played in many countries through history. These were mostly unrelated and did not contribute in any way to the development of association football. For example, in northern Canada and/or Alaska, Inuit (Eskimo) people played a game called Aqsaqtuk, in which a ball was kicked by two teams on an ice playing field. The date when the game was first played is unknown.Similar games include Tsu Chu and Kemari in ancient China and Japan respectively. Tsu Chu, documented as early as the Qin Dynasty, (255-260BCE), is depicted in Han Dynasty (25?220 CE) frescoes being played by women. There are, however, a number of opinions on the dates involved, with the earliest estimates at 5000 BCE.Answer"Soccer" was created in 1863 but the evolution of Soccer or "Association Football" can be traced back hundreds of years to a ball game known as "Shrovetide football". The word "football" is from the English language and from early medieval times the term "fote-ball" (first recorded c.1400) was used to describe a 'ball game played on foot' not necessarily with the foot. Early football games were not only played by the English but also by other European peoples groups under different names with localised innovations. Other forms include Irish "Caid" meaning 'Ball' the ancestor of Gaelic football, Cornish Hurling "Hyrlîan", Welsh Hurling "Cnapan". A game called "La Soule" meaning 'The Ball' was played in France, "Ba" pronounced bawmeaning 'Ball' played in Scotland and "Ball play" or "Playing at ball" or significantly "fote-ball" games played in England. These medieval ball games are the ones from which all modern football codes evolved and the Shrovetide ball game referred to as "fote-ball" is the version from which all modern football games take their name. These games may have evolved from a game played by the Romans called "Harpastum" which itself was an adaptation of an Ancient Greek game called "Episkyros" or "Phaininda" which, dating back to at least the 4th century BC, is the Worlds oldest known ball game that matches the medieval definition of football. It is worth noting that Harpastum was later recreated in 16th centaury Italy as "Calcio". Although there is a strong possibility the Roman and Greek ball games evolved into Shrovetide football and other similar ball games played in Europe as yet there are no verifiable connections. The Ancient Chinese also played a game called "Cuju" that dates back to the late 3rd centaury BC which has similarities to Association football. However, despite attempts by FIFA to infer an historical link between Cuju and Association Football there are no connections between Cuju and early ball games played in medieval Europe.The creation of Soccer: For century's football was played by various different rules in Public school and villages in the UK. Then in 1848 Cambridge University attempted to create a standard set of rules for Public schools. Two former students of Shrewsbury School Mr. H. de Winton and Mr. J.C. Thring organized a meeting at Trinity College, Cambridge with 12 representatives from other schools namely Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrewsbury. In the eight hour meeting these men created what became the 'blue print' for Soccer. These rules became known as the "Cambridge Rules" which unlike "Rugby School Rules" (1823) favours a game in which the ball would be kicked more than carried. In 1863 a solicitor from Hull called Ebenezer Cobb Morley wrote an article for Bell's Life newspaper promoting the idea of a new regulatory body for football. This led to the formation of the "Football Association" whose main aim was to standardise the rules of football nationally. This new code was to be based on the Cambridge Rules. The 'Laws of the game' for Soccer or Association football were drafted by E. C. Morley along with other founder members of the Football Association. They agreed the rules at a public house called the Freemasons Tavern in London on 26th October 1863. Morley became the Football Associations first secretary. He also founded the Barnes Football Club in 1862 which he captained against Richmond football club in the first ever soccer match. The game ended 0-0 but in a return game he scored the first ever goal. He died in 1924 and is buried at a Cemetery on Barnes Common not far from where he drafted the Laws of the game at 26 The Terrace, Barnes, London. A blue plaque commemorating his life's work was placed on the wall of this address by English Heritage in 2009.Entomology of the word soccer: The word soccer is a phonetic abbreviation of the word 'Association' coined by English public school students who took the 'soc' from 'Association' and put an 'er' on the end. That is why prior to 1863 the word soccer did not exist. It is probably worth noting the same students called Rugby football 'Rugger' but this word fell out of use.

Why would you like football?

Football has existed, in one form or another, since the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans, possibly before. The Greeks played "ball games" known variously as episkyros or phaininda.The Romans played a version of these games, which they dubbedharpastum.The Chinese played ball games as well. We know this from the "Zhan Guo Ce," an ancient Chinese military manual, which tells us that they played a game involving a ball called cuju.Versions of this Chinese game ultimately spread to Japan and Korea, where it became known as kemari and chuk-guk,respectively.The history of football is long, and very interesting, but would take up too much space here. For now, let's fast-forward a bit."Between 1324 and 1667, football was banned in England alone by more than 30 royal and local laws." [i]The game had become so rowdy and disruptive that King Edward II issued the following proclamation on April 13, 1314: "Forasmuch as there is great noise in the city caused by the hustling over large balls from which many evils may arise which God forbid; we command and forbid, on behalf of the King, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city in the future"[ii].The main reason for the ban, however, was that it distracted the citizenry from the practice of archery, which was deemed necessary training for war.It was however, the British "public" schools (known as private schools elsewhere) that kept the game alive. It is believed that the public schools (Eton and Harrow, in particular) took the game away from the "mob" and civilized it through an organization of rules and codes of conduct.As such, the game was transformed from a working-class game to an upper-class game.The rules at this time differed, depending on where the game was played. There were no separate rules as yet for rugby and football, so what we think of as football was a jumbled mass of football, rugby, and other games of a similar nature.The working classes at this time worked six days a week for 12 hours a day, including Saturday. Thus, they had little time for games, and, consequently, the British public schools controlled and strengthened the game from roughly the banning in 1314 through 1850.In 1850, Parliament passed the Factory Act, which changed the law so that, "they could not work before 6 a.m. (7 a.m. in winter) or after 6 p.m. on weekdays (7 p.m. in winter); on Saturdays they had to cease work at 2 p.m."[iii]As a result, children had more time to absorb games like football. Thus, the influence of the public schools began to wane, and the heart of football was slowly passed back to the working classes.Up until this time, football and rugby were virtually indistinguishable, because the rules of play were different depending on where you played.This changed in 1863 with the creation of The Football Association (The FA). Several football clubs chose to withdraw from the FA because of two rules: the use of hands and tripping had been removed from charter for the league.These clubs formed the Rugby Football Union in 1871, which finally separated associations of football and rugby. Modern football grew out of the work of the FA in England, and in similar associations around Europe.[iv]The Industrial Revolution gave birth to modern football.It was the small, provincial industrial towns that had the most successful clubs. This occurred for one very important reason: The industrial revolution occurred in these provincial factory towns.Towns like Manchester, Dortmund, and Liverpool grew out of the Industrial Revolution.Migrant workers from all over Europe flocked to these industrial cities for work. They had no ties to their new community.In most cases, they didn't know the language, had few friends, and had no outlet outside of work. Football gave them something they could belong to.It was a club, not just for the players, but also for the supporters. It gave them a sense of belonging, which they lacked.They were strangers in a strange land, and football became their passion. The game became a source of civic pride for its supporters.What started as local support among provincial townspeople soon grew to encompass supporters from other areas.The football team became a microcosm of society. It became a leisurely outlet for the collective provincialism, sectarianism, and nationalism of its supporters. Later, religion and politics would play a part as well, as the rivalries between the Celtic and Rangers in Scotland, or Barcelona and Madrid in Spain, can attest to.Often times, the football team became the outlet for the embittered passions of a populace that had no outlet for its frustrations. Rivalries became an "us" vs. "them" affair in which violence was not unknown.At its worst, these social passions devolved into hooliganism and violence.Thus, football has become a by-word for sectarianism. While the collective passions, and frustrations, of the supporters often result in violence, more frequently they create a passionate spectacle that is unrivaled in sports.This, then, is the story of why football fans are so passionate. Yet this is the prelude, not the postscript.As supporters, we can write our own future on the walls of history.For those of you interested in learning more about this history of football, I can point you to two excellent books: "The Ball is Round" by David Goldblatt and "Soccernomics" by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski.

How has the soccer equipment change over years?

Soccer gear has changed over the years by in 2008-09 soccer season a rule was passed stating that shin guards must be appropriately sized and will be checked. If it is the correct size and shape for the player it will be stamped so the checking process will go faster. Also, the gear of the players is checked (and changed) if the gear is not rule compliant.
