HISTORY AND RULES
SOCCER'S BEGINNINGS...
The origin of soccer can be found in every corner of geography and
history.
The Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Ancient Greek, Persian, Viking, and
many more played a ball game long before our era.
The Chinese played "football" games date as far back as 3000 years
ago.
The Ancient Greeks and the Roman used football games to sharpen
warriors for battle. In South and Central America a game called
"Tlatchi" once flourished.
ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS
AND SOCCER...
Mesoamerican civilizations also devised a game played with
rubber balls, which resembled a combination between soccer,
basketball and volleyball.
The game involved two teams, playing in a sort of basin dug
below ground level, with baskets strapped in several locations
on the side walls.
The teams would then have to kick the ball towards these
baskets, and score a goal.
SOCCER IN EUROPE...
As we go forward on the history of soccer timeline, we notice
that the game has gradually entered European territory,
Europe being the place where modern day soccer will start in
several centuries.
Middle age soccer is covered in a combination of myth and
historical facts.
One popular form of the game (Mob soccer) involved entire
villages or towns and was rather chaotic.
SOCCER IN EUROPE...(cont.)
The teams could have unlimited players, as long as they were
from the same village or town. Both teams had to kick the ball
towards specific landmarks, and defend their own.
To add more chaos, the ball was made out of inflated pigs'
bladders, or leather skins stuffed with all sorts of materials.
Picture two masses of people running towards a poor pig
bladder ball, kicking, stomping, punching and pushing each
other in the attempt to kick the object to some area.
SOCCER IN EUROPE...(cont.)
In medieval France, a game called "La Choule" was usually
played in town gatherings, such as just after Sunday church, or
on special occasions or holidays.
The game itself looked like a combination of soccer, handball,
hockey, baseball and kickboxing, since the players of each team
had to strike the ball into the opponent's goal, using whatever
means necessary and whatever accessories necessary.
For example, one record shows that players were allowed to use
sticks or clubs to hit the ball around, although it wasn't always
the ball that got hit.
