In other places, football is really a game often known as soccer in America.. And football in Europe and other elements of the world means soccer, where individuals run around the field tossing a ball around their knees and head. Whew! That was complicated. So who quite invented football?

AMERICA

The "Father of American Football", Walter C. Camp was a football coach and a sports writer and the one who created football. His name became is legend in the American Football history. He took the rugby game to the next level and invented football. He lent term from the rugby game and applied it to football; in rugby, five guys lined-up and are called scrum; in football, he transform the 5 men to seven individuals forming the offensive line, this is called the Line of Scrimmage. Acquire it? Scrum and scrimmage?

CANADA

Some says the football is truly a Canadian game and it was a Canadian who created football. Invented by the replacement for British troops entering Quebec in the 1600's. Canadian Universities then introduced the game to American Colleges., Canada already has their professional football league of sorts.

CHINA

A few say that football was developed by Chinese a thousand years ago. The ancient Chinese were said to have kick a ball back and forth for practice and amusement. It's said that the English just re-created the sport after explorers visited this far away land. So was it very the Chinese who developed football?

ROMANS

They say it all started in Rome. Romans started enjoying football really in a different way at that time, it's said that they originally toss and throw the pig's head around staking a claim on it. They seen it fun and interesting thus it grew to become a sport and thus it was all of them who created football.

ENGLAND

It was the English who developed the football, or did they? It has been reported that kinds of football were played as early as 1200 in England. As facts, they pointed out a game found performed in ancient Greece, it's believed to be the predecessor of football. However this game is said to be forbade by The King Henry VI and by the 19th century, it was divided into two games; the soccer and the rugby. And because American football evolved from the rugby, the English are basically staking a claim on both football sports.
