One of the earliest forms of soccer in which players kicked a ball around on a small field has been traced as far back to 1004 B.C. in Japan. The Munich Ethnological Museum in Germany has a Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to soccer that were played between teams from Japan and China. The Chinese kicked a leather ball ( hair-filled ) and it is known with certainty that a soccer game was played in 611 A.D. in the then Japanese capital, Kyoto. \n\n\nSo i guess the answer is the japanese

Arguably soccer was invented in London in 1863 when men sat down to codify the games that they had enjoyed playing at their "public schools". An association called "The Football Association" was formed. The word "soccer" is short for "Association Football", as distinct from "Rugby Football", which was another sport codified by ex public schoolboys in the late 19th century.

The word "soccer" comes from "As[soc]iation Football," which is the formal version of the game. It was adopted by the Football Association (FA) in 1863.

The word "soccer" is a colloquial abbreviation of association (from assoc.) and first appeared in the 1880s. The word is sometimes credited to Charles Wreford Brown, an Oxford University student said to have been fond of shortened forms such as brekkers for breakfast and rugger for rugby football. In the late 19th century the word soccer tended to be used only at public schools; most people knew the game simply as football.\n\nFootball is more commonly known as soccer in certain English-speaking nations where the word "football" refers to a rival code of football developed within that nation, specifically Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United States, and also in areas where Rugby football is more popular than association football, such as Australia, New Zealand and the white communities of South Africa. In these countries "football" was often included in the names of the earliest leagues and governing bodies of the sport, but as that word became increasingly associated with other domestic forms of the game, soccer became more widely used.\n\nFootball, in its modern form, was exported by Britons to much of the rest of the world and many of these nations adopted this common English term for the sport into their own language. This was usually done in one of two ways: either by directly importing the word itself, or by translating its constituent parts, foot and ball. Most Romance languages use the word football, albeit with a different pronunciation and occasionally a different spelling: the (Spanish fútbol, Portuguese: futebol, and the French, le football is often shortened to le foot. \n\nIn Germanic languages (other than English), the term is usually translated (for example, German: Fußball, Norwegian: fotball, Swedish: fotboll, Danish: fodbold and the Dutch: voetbal. \n\nIn Italy, football is called calcio, from calciare meaning to kick.\n\nAnd Kick-Off, Field Goal and Punt are all terms to describe American Football whereby a player uses his foot to make the ball go in a certain direction.  So, American Football is played with the feet but it is played with the feet about as much as world football/futbol is played with the hands via the goal keeper or other players on a throw-in.  My question would be why is it termed football (in the rest of the world) when the goalie can use his hands all the time (provided he is in the 18 yard box) and other players use their hands to make a throw in?  It is a mixture of both hands and feet as well as your head, chest, thigh etc.  In my opinion soccer/football should be called "body ball" taking in the total amount of your body that actually touches the ball, unlike rugby and american football...just a thought.

Today the term association football is rarely used, although some clubs still include Association Football Club (AFC) in their name. The game is sometimes known colloquially as footy; the term footer was also once used but is now obsolete.

Try a website about the MLS (Major League Soccer), you will find some information there.\nThe U.S.A. made the semi-finals of the World Cup in 1930- a great achievement. They beat England 1-0 in the 1950 World Cup which was a huge shock. \nThey are ranked 5th in the world at the moment, but that is because they play more games than other nations.

In 1958, Brazil revolutionized football tactics by introducing the 4-2-4 system (which evolved, over the years, into today's 4-3-3 and 4-4-2.)\n\nUp to that time, most everybody used the old WM English system or variations of the almost equally old Brazilian "diagonal left" and "diagonal right." After 1958, these systems were relegated to the dustbins of football history.

The games of american football, soccer, and rugby all originated from the same basic game but with different rules.  We have to thank the students of the 1880s for the word "soccer". It was the practice amonst the well bred students of Oxford to abbreviate words whilst adding "er" to the end; "brekkers" for breakfast for example. They would be asked if they wanted to play "rugger" ("rugby rules") a student replied "no, soccer", an abbreviation of "association", or the "association rules", also known as the rules of the Football Association in London. As'soc'iation (doesn't really fit with our pronunciation of the word exactly but i see how it makes sense).  Footer was also used and for whatever reason the evovled term "football" became more popular in the UK while the term "soccer" popularized in the US although it was used in the UK for a brief period of time.
