uhm.. correction,
the chinese invented it around 200 BC.... they had a game called Tsu Chu (literally 'kick ball') witch was played with two 30ft-high bamboo poles acting as goals.
The Greeks, for whom ball games were an essential party of life, played a form of football as early as 4 BC. The game was known as pheninda and involved kicking the ball, running with it and handling it.
The Romans followed the Greeks' example and called their game hapastum. This was played on a rectangular field, between two teams who defended the lines which marked the ends of the field.
In Italy a similar game was developed in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries called Calcio (calciare means to kick in Italian) which involved two sides playing in Florence's town square on the feast day of St John the Baptist, the city's patron saint.
sorry to bring down the facts...
