The
original game which is now referred to as football or soccer was "a favorite way of passing the time among Julius
Caesar's legions," They introduced it to ancient
Britons in the middle of the first century BC. According to some
chroniclers, when things got really rough, the legions used "the skulls
of slaughtered Britons" as balls.The Romans introduced the first version of the game to many of their colonies, Briton being one of them, along with currency, laws, roads and baths. The rules have changed throughout the years and the game has evolved into many others, such as grid iron, rugby, rugby league etc etc, but it was the Romans who kicked off the game we now know as football.

Too Right, the Romans invented the early form of the game, the Brits were still cave dwellers at the time and obviously took the game from the Romans, along with many other things the Romans introduced to their Empire, I mean, Italy has 4 world cups, how many does Scotland, England, Wales have??? Nuff said.
It was either the Romans or Chinese, no way was it the English, their culture was not as advanced and they were basically savages before the Romans taught them how to count!
It actually was started in China, and separately in Rome. The game which the Romans exported throughout the empire must be the game which started off the various versions of football, the Chinese had a game which resembles football and probably much earlier than the Romans, but the Chinese did not export it and were insular in character, the game which the Brits like to claim as their invention was actually invented in Italy, Roman Italy, and exported by the Roman Legions into Briton.

There is much debate about the origins of the sports game football - which is widely known as "soccer", with American Football being a different kind of game (but borne out of the same concept). Also known as "The Beautiful Game", football attracts a great amount of interest and competition across the world - which has made events such as the World Cup a very exciting time for the nations involved.
It has been suggested that football was played in a basic form in the 12th Century. Some theories show that it originated from Canada - others want to believe that it could only come from the mighty shores of Brazil (but there is little evidence of this). There are also snippets of researched history which suggest forms of the game were played in Ancient China, Greece and Roman eras.
It is proven by historical records that football in England arose in the 1800's, when rugby football and "association" football branched off into two seperate competitive sports. The word "soccer" is a slang translation from the word "association" which derived from the founding of The Football Association in England in 1863.
It is therefore nevertheless not "who" invented football but perhaps when it was made an organised, official sport - and the answer to that would of course be owed to the England FA which was closely followed with the founding of the Scottish, Irish and Welsh FA's.
