The English. They would have a game which was a free-for-all over the whole town. This was then borken down by a few private schools to two different sets of games, Football(soccer) to play with your feet and Rugby Football (rugby) to play with your hands. All the time the ball can only be passed backwards. Up intill now different folk played in different ways so a few of the schools, in order to be able to play against one another they got together and agreed some rules. The main one being that up until now the ball can only be passed backwards so in order to allow the ball to go forward they invented the offside rule for this to be alowed.

When M. Rimet crossed the Atlantic in a steamship to the first World Cup in Uruguay in 1930, he carried that small trophy in his bag. It was later presented permanently to its serial-winners, Brazil.\n\nBut who was Jules Rimet? And how did a man who never played football (his sports were fencing and running) come to invent a competition that transformed football into the international business, and obsession, which we know today? M. Rimet was born in Haute-Saone in eastern France in 1876. He was the son of a poor grocer, who migrated to Paris when Jules was 11 years old. Unlike many of the figures who dominated the administration of international sport at that time - such as Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the Frenchman who re-invented the Olympic Games - M. Rimet was not an aristocrat but a self-made man. That fact enormously influenced his attitudes to sport.

The first football club in the world was Guy's Hospital Football Club, founded by staff at Guy's Hospital in London in 1843, to play Rugby football, a game which was played previously only by school teams. While a rugby club still exists at Guy's Hospital, the connection between the present club and the one formed in 1843 is poorly-documented.[1] The oldest football club with a well-documented, continuous history is Dublin University Football Club founded in 1854 at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, which is also a Rugby club.\n\nSheffield Football Club, in Sheffield, England is the oldest non-university club, and was founded in 1857. It initially played a code of its own devising and later switched to Association football (soccer).

It would be Ronaldinho. And, by the way, the answer IS indeed about football (how it is called by all the world except for the US), which is played with feet and a ball (hence, called football), which (American) "football" is not (ironically enough, it is played with the hands (not feet) and with an ovoid, not a ball) :-)

lacrosse was invented by the iriquios(sp) a few hundred years ago, i think its about 500 years ago. \nbut when they played, it was like sacred, there was no roughing other players and each team had dozens of ppl on the field. sounds like crazy fun though.

Football.  We invented it (the UK) and named it, all before America was even discovered, and it's an English word.  So defo football, only americans and australians call it soccer (wrongly).\n\nAmerican football they use their hands as do AFL players so its hardly football

Ellis was the first person noted for picking up the ball during the soccer game and running with it, thereby breaking and changing the rules. In 1876, at the Massosoit convention, the the first attempts at writing down the rules of American football were made. Walter Camp edited every American Football rulebook until his death in 1925.\n\ni think it has to do with the fact that when it was invented, a game of european football was in play....
