they are similar because soccer and football are still around today and have the same names and rules still today.
go to the library (i know that sounds boring) but its good info. you could also just put in "soccer history" or "history of soccer" on google (without the quotes).
Like any sport, rules in soccer do change, so they have changed lots of times since the game was first given formal rules.
Early soccer began in Britain. It was an extremely violent game with no rules whatsoever. 2 teams, often 2 neighbouring villages would play each other with 2 posts in both villages to score in. People would even take knives to these matches and people were often killed. Many kings banned soccer at this time because of how violent it was. In the 1800s in Britain the game of soccer as we know it today began to develop. The FA was founded and the teams would be started up by groups of friends who worked together. The rules were developed and we then have the game we know today.
Soccer is a British term used to describe football players who played Association Rules Football. Similarly, the term "rugger" referred to a player of Rugby Rules Football. The game played today around the world under the auspices of FIFA is based on Association rules, and is sometimes called Association Football. The term fell out of dominate use in Britain in the 1800s, but it continued to be used in the US and Canada, and even in Britain when discussing different types of football or among people who closely follow different types of football.

Soccer today can be seen everywhere! :) Very popular sport

The first College Football game played in 1869 used the rules modified from the London Football Association. Over the next few years as the game gained popularity the colleges began to favor the rules of Rugby over the rules of soccer. The game as we know it today evolved from the game of rugby.
The traditional youth were respectful to the rules and to their elders. The youth of today are more into Western ideologies.
because it changed our history today because without is we would be different as in history and people.
Soccer is the most famous and most played sport around the world today. There have been different variations of football in various localities, like the Futsal which is played indoor on hard floors (popular in Spain, Japan, and Brazil), Indoor Arena soccer which is popular in Europe, and beach football which is popular in Greece, Turkey, and Spain.
