as per wikipedia:

Two of the earliest recorded football-type games in Europe include Episkyros[10][11] from Ancient Greece and the Roman version Harpastum[10] which is similar to pre-codified "Mob Football", the antecedent of all modern football codes.

now let's see.. whoever 'you' think 'invented' it must have at least 5 fifa world cup championship trophies by now, no?

please tell us.. 😉

Ah Wikipedia. A resource frequently relied on by top universities.

you don't even know the difference between 'a novel' or 'the bible,' useless, so what would you know about 'sources' or 'higher education,' you simpleton? LOL

I merely gave you a source even a less educated person such as yourself would be able to relate to, useless.. the least you can do is be gracious about it, sheesh.. 😉

by the way, I answered your 'who invented it?' question and now you're gonna get all pissy with me? LOL

cut to the chase, useless.. tell us who 'you' think invented it and then tell us how many fifa world cups or uefa cups that country has.. pretty please? 😉

and keep in mind who has the most titles:

in europe: spain, with the most titles, 49, including a record number of euro champion clubs' Cup/champions league, 14, and uefa super cup, 11..

globally: brazil, with 5 fifa world cups..

now go ahead.. tell us who 'you' think invented football and then tell us how they measure up against either spain or brazil.. good luck! LOL!!!

cheerios, useless! 😂

why can't the uk surpass spain at football, useless? aren't you brits sick and ashamed of coming in 2nd or 3rd or.. dead last, in competitive sports, buddy? 😉

and I won't even mention tennis, a sport in which britannia's slam record shines in a nice shade of brown.. 😂

what a relief.. it's comforting to know that, while you may not be educated enough to fully grasp the difference between 'a novel' and 'the bible,' at least you know how to cut and paste.. LOL

now answer the question:

why can't the uk surpass spain at football? 😉

ta-ta!

that's the kind of record that keeps envious british football fans awake at night with stomach ulcers.. 😂

oh britannia, why art thou such a s#itty sports nation? LOL

in the 16th century, england envied and coveted spain's riches.. how little things have changed in the last 500 years.. 😀

uk: never even made the finals.. LOL at the bottom of the heap, as usual.. tsk-tsk-tsk! 😂

poor uk.. a nation of frustrated hooligans forever destined to look up to and enviously covet spain's riches for inspiration.. the same was true in the 16th century, when english pirates and cutthroats did elizabeth I's dirty 'terrorist' bidding.. truly very little has changed in that s#it#ole nest of thugs that now goes by the name uk..

uk.. stinking up european football since 1960..💩

sad but true <gasp>
