First Football
In The World
Football game established for about 100 years ago. It was started 1863 at England when the Football Association in England was formed. There are various types of people that playing football on how they play, the match of the football and many more. In fact people set on their mind that playing football just kick the ball at the first place. Before this, they play football without safety precautions.
This Han Dynasty forebear of football was called Tsu' Chu and it
consisted of kicking a leather ball filled with feathers and hair through an
opening, measuring only 30-40cm in width, into a small net fixed onto long
bamboo canes. According to one variation of this exercise, the player was not permitted
to aim at his target unimpeded, but had to use his feet, chest, back and
shoulders while trying to withstand the attacks of his opponents. Use of the
hands was not permitted.Another form of the game, also originating from the Far East, was the Japanese Kemari, which began some 500-600 years later and is still played today. This is a sport lacking the competitive element of Tsu' Chu with no struggle for possession involved. Standing in a circle, the players had to pass the ball to each other, in a relatively small space, trying not to let it touch the ground.
The Greek 'Episkyros' - of which few concrete details
survive - was much livelier, as was the Roman 'Harpastum'. The latter was
played out with a smaller ball by two teams on a rectangular field marked by
boundary lines and a centre line. The objective was to get the ball over the
opposition's boundary lines and as players passed it between themselves,
trickery was the order of the day. The game remained popular for 700-800 years,
but, although the Romans took it to Britain with them, the use of feet was so
small as to scarcely be of consequence.
