Some people believe that the 'Laws of the game' for 'Association football' also known as 'Soccer' were written in the 19th centaury by a man called Ebenezer C. Morley. The year was 1863.

But, the Japanese invented soccer in approximately 1004 B.C. There are traces of games extremely similar to soccer that were played between China and Japan in early times. The Chinese kicked a ball made of animal skins and the goal was made of two poles stuck in the ground.

Many believe that the British invented soccer because most of their soccer teams are extremely good at what they do. This is not true though.
