Where did soccer start and how is it different from today?

Answer 1

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.
