Games revolving around the kicking of a ball have been played in many countries through history. The earliest documented version is the Mesoamerica ballgame, played by the Olmec as early as 1500 BCE. The Chinese game Cuju is mentioned in military manuals from the time of the Qin Dynasty (255–206 BCE).[3] Other ancient ball games include kemari in Japan and the Roman game Harpastum. Various forms of mob football were played in medieval Europe, though rules varied greatly by both period and location. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soccer Aug 06 06, 2:29 PM
