The Origin of Soccer


You can not specify exactly when and where were the football game, history has shown us a glimpse of a game similar to the version of today who has played more than 3000 years.

Around 3 or the second century BC, it was shown that the Chinese military plays occur during the Han Dynasty, a game with a ball in a small network.

A game similar to football was the power of ancient Greece and Rome, but their game play up to 27 players on one side of the game today, 11 players a side.

Football was one of the most popular sports of the masses because of its popularity as a war game. A game of football, which the British called it, was in the east of England during the 8th century, when the head of a vanquished Danish prince as the bullet used was played.

In the medieval villages and towns were pitted against each other in battles of game that could last all day. There were no structured rules and to keep awake, biting, gouging and punching the game turned into a virtual battle of survival. These games were so intense that the British authorities, many attempts have banned the game.

King Edward III of England in 1331 passed legislation for gaming and Queen Elizabeth I was a law that provided a first week to abolish imprisonment for taking each game.

Despite these efforts, the football was so popular in England during the next century it has developed the most popular sport at the time.

At that time, the only shortcoming of lack of sports rules or standards. In 1815, founded Eton College, a famous English school, a set of rules that are implemented by other schools, colleges and universities.

A standardized version of these rules have been later in the year 1848 in English by most colleges and universities, which were known as the Cambridge rules adopted.

Unfortunately, it was at that time, two different sets of rules is used. Some colleges favored rugby rules allowed the ball with his hands, and led trips on the shins. which were contrary to the rules of Cambridge.

In 1863, the Football Association of eleven English football clubs and schools created to establish a single set of rules applied where they are pitted against each other.

Supporters of the Rugby School rules split objection against the amendments and the two groups. The Football Association after the rules changed in 1869 when he banned the use of hands except the goalkeeper, who led the game of football we know today.

The English still called a game of football, because the ball was played mainly with his feet, but in the late 18th Century, the word "football", was first used by a student at the University of Oxford, named Charles Wreford Brown used. Students have been at Oxford for the use of colloquial language, which she added: "ER" at the end of words they had deliberately cut known. The game of rugby was "Rugger". Brown shorten the word "association" and added: "ER" and the term "football" was born.

Since the 19th century, the game has developed, where it is today. It is the gaming world, which is played by more people than any other sport, and is generally regarded as the most popular game in sports history recognized.
