There are many versions about the football history. According to Wikipedia.com, the ancient Greek, the Romans, The Japanese, and the English were the first nations to play game similar to modern football (Soccer: in USA), although it still debatable until now.
According to ancient Greek and the Romans history (388–311 BC), the games that similar to football firstly play when a man was killed, and his head was being kicked by many people until his head came into a barber’s shop.
In Chinese, people played it when it led by Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 BC), at that time this game, called as Cuju by Chinese, was played more organized. The ball was made with leather and the goal post was made from bamboo with high around 9 meters.
In Japan, this game known as kemari, it was played when Asuka led the Dynasty (600 AD). The game is similar to freestyle, where people play it in circle and kick it each other, and not allow it to drop in the ground.
In English, this game was played firstly in 1100 AC and it was played massively, involved hundreds of people. Because of the brutality of this game (the rule not existed yet), the King Edward II (1314 AD) prohibited it to play this game. This game was played again during The King Edward III (1369 AD).
The rule of this game always changed continually. And the modern era of football or soccer came when FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) was established in May, 21, 1904. FIFA regularly arranged the FIFA World Cup in five years, firstly held in Uruguay, where the host became the champion for the first time. Brazil holds the record to become the champion in five times.
