FOOTBALL - was originated from China

[Avisheik]

I would not say that football originated in china, mainly because there were variations of football throughout the ancient world without the influence of china.
Rather china is the earliest civilization to have recorded playing this game. But britain is where the modern game developed.

Anyway guys dont fight over this small issue of who invented football and $h*t.

Although it is true China played games which involved feet and a ball, it was not even close to the game of football. They were merely games and activities that used a ball. For instance, American football can be seen as a variation of rugby, which is a variation of soccer but with hands, and so you see you can trace all sports back to China really by this logic. But the Chinese did not invent football. The official game of football was invented in England. That's why The Football Association is the earliest established one around. It is also why the laws of the game as well as international football affairs can only be changed on a majority vote involving half the votes from FIFA and half from all the associations within the United Kingdom. Ebenezer Cobb Morley of England is known as the "father of football".

You can't really say China invented football, people punched each other millineums ago, can we really say they invented boxing??? The british invented the rules and made it a sport.
A game is structured around a set of rules, How was this chinese football? just merely kicking a ball doesn't make it "Assosiaction football" as we know it today with goals penalties offsides 11 man teams and I don't know how many rules.

You can however say the chinese were the first to use the art of kicking a ball before anyone although that is debatable too.

Love China

I am of the opinion within 8 to 10 years China will indeed be challenging world domination in this sport. They are getting the correct infrastructure in place and investing in the right areas. Shanghai Shenhua are investing a fortune on quality players - all looking good for the future...

Kaif Bhai ! Drogba is an old fossil out to bank as much money as he can before he finally retires ! Had Shanghai signed someone like 'Eto'o' I'd be impressed ! But I do agree that the Chinese are going to hit the field running in a few years time !

P.S Dunno whether football has its origins in China or England but the way Carra butchers the English language, Scouse sure ain't English !

I think that Real wanted him more than anything as 'cover' for either Higuain or Benzema depending upon form and availability of either player...! Drogba may still have what it takes but at what - 36 ? - he is an old fossil on his last hurrah ! Plus the Primera Lega with all them pansies is hardly suited for a target man like Drogba ! They - the Spaniards - like to play free-flowing beautiful football whereas Drogba is built for the grit of the Premier League or the German Budesliga ! And yeah who'd turn down 200,000 Euros a week ?

P.S You don't support 'Huddersfield FC' do you ? 'Cause the Premier League is a class apart from the Championship and it in turn is a class apart from League 1. By the way did they - Huddersfield - qualify for the Championship or did they loose the play-offs ?
