The History Of Soccer

Many Italian historians believe that modern football evolved from "Calcio" - games, common in the XVI century in Florence. And as a result of the proof of the fact that the "Calcio" leather ball was played on the fields the size of 100x50 m.
Modern football began its journey in the XII century medieval England. Then the football played in the market places and even on the narrow streets of the curves. They played from morning till night. The number of playing more than 100 people, with almost no restrictions existed. You could play as arms and legs were allowed to miss a player with the ball, knock him down. Once a player has mastered the ball, immediately rushed him cheerful, boisterous crowd of players. As a result of collapsed stalls in the stalls echoed slivers. In the villages, even the rivers are not used to players obstacle. It happened that some players were drowned while crossing, but it sometimes does not even notice. One writer from England, wrote that they had "bruised cheeks, legs, armsand back were broken, broken eyes, noses, full of blood ...". A traveler Gaston de Foix, watching a game of football, said: "If the British call it a game, what they call a fight?" 
All these violations have not gone unnoticed among the clergy and the feudal lords. Soon, they demanded to ban football. This game seemed to be too dangerous: often under the pretext of going to football dissatisfied. Especially rampage churchmen, who called football a "myth the devil." Favoring the feudal lords, King Edward II in 1313 for bade the football in the city. So the game began to take place on vacant lots outside the city. 
King Edward III in 1333 ordered the sheriffs to pursue the idle classes in a ball game, pointing out that "archery abandoned because of the useless and wicked game of football." The British did not miss the opportunity to file petitions to kings to revoke the ban,but each time refused. In 1389 Richard II banned football in the entire kingdom. Were set very severe penalties, including the death penalty. 
But despite the ban, people continued to play football. And already in 1592 in Scotland, the ban was lifted for football, and in 1603 followed suit, and England. The people managed to defend their favorite game, but for a long time football was considered a "vile," "plebeian" game. 
People are always interested in the question of who invented this game. But history does not specify any year, or the birth place of football. Archaeological excavations have shown that certain "ancestor" of football lived in Ancient Egypt: Scientists have discovered here is not only the images playing ball, but the balls themselves. Historians say the fact that the game ball was kicked favorite pastime of Chinese soldiers - it was two thousand years before our era. They believe that the origins of football are in ancient Rome, and as ancient Greece. 
In different countries, many, many years ago, people gathered in city squares, orvacant lots, and played ball. These games are reminiscent of the soldiers, trying to penetrate the enemy's camp. The winner of the party recognized the play, which is more just swing the ball for a certain trait. In these games, sometimes involving several hundred people. 
Many Italian historians believe that modern football evolved from "Calcio" - games, common in the XVI century in Florence. And as a result of the proof of the fact that the "Calcio" leather ball was played on the fields the size of 100x50 m. 
But it is in England football was first given this name and why the British have every reason to consider themselves the ancestors of the game. Ironically, this event did not happen with the official recognition of the game, and when ... Ban it, when King Edward III in a special decree of the sheriffs of London paid attention to the fact that archery is so useful for young people, has gone by the wayside because of the passion and all sorts of useless "lawless" games such as football. 
The world's first football association was founded in England in 1863 appeared the first football clubs. Here we have developed the first official game rules, which a few decades later received universal recognition.
Date October 26, 1863 was memorable for the fans of football, as in this year at the London Tavern on the Gray Queen Street club representatives newly developed new rules. The representative of one of the club presented a draft code of football first of nine points. These items have been compromised: the game meant and feet and hands. 
FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) was established in May 1904 at a meeting of representatives of seven European countries in Paris. Its first president was Robert Guérin Frenchman. The British Association considered the establishment of the Federation "frivolous" - and joined FIFA in 1946. (For this reason, the first world championships were held without the participation of the pioneers of football.) At the beginning of 2003 in the Federation consisted of 204 countries. It is headed by Joseph Sepp Blatter (from 1998 to the present).
