how was soccer made!!!

im gonna say how soccer was made because i wondered and i steaerterd to reasearsch because it s my fave sport and these are some waky i deas they think it stated look im gonna tell you the story
Soccer, as we know it, was first played as a game in England in the mid-19th Century. The name is a slang version of "association football." Nobody really knows where soccer came from some say it was from the roman who used their enemies head as ball other say the Chinese, other say it came from South America where they used anything as a ball, including people and the loser would be sacrificed and sometimes the winner. The only documented reference to the origin of soccer is from the observations of Herodotus who describes a game played by soldiers where the defeated team captain's head would be severed, dipped in melted rubber, and used for the play of the rematch.
It started in Brazil when a few children were playing together when they saw a bucket of soft rubber which came from a rubber plantation nearby. Then, one of them got an idea and turn it into a ball-shape. So, the children play with each other but not in the modern way. They just pass each other without touching with their hands. Some tourist nearby happen to pass by and saw what had happen and decide to change the game with two goalpost and 20 aside.
