Who Invented Soccer?
Soccer is a very popular sport. It is surprising that even today there is no agreement as to who invented soccer. There are many accounts of early forms of soccer in ancient China. While it is not known who invented the soccer game in China, there are accounts of a similar game being played in China in as early as 2 BC. This early form of the game involved kicking a leather ball into a net. A similar game is believed to have been played in ancient Japan, as well as being played by Native Americans. Many believe that these early forms of soccer, though, are not what influenced the game we play today (but some argue that point as well).
