The game known in England as football has a very long history which can be traced to early medieval times - long before North America was discovered..
In North America there is very little evidence for pure football (or kick ball). In Stewart Culin's detailed book "Games of the North American Indians" he states that football is mentioned as occurring among four Algonquian tribes: the Massachuset, the Micmac, Narraganset and the Powhatan and there is some reason to believe that kick-ball was known among other tribes.
The natives used a very small ball of buckskin, or sometimes of stone about 3 or 4 inches across, while goals were two sticks erected at the ends of the course, or simple lines on the ground. In most cases the rules allowed the ball to be both kicked and thrown, or hit with a flail or other object, nothing like English football.
This is a case of roughly similar games being developed in Europe and America without being connected in any way - just as Archery seems to have evolved separately in many parts of the world at about the same time.
