Posh men living in England made basic rules was a glorified game of kick- and-chance until they saw how they played in Scotland.
Hence ‘Internationals,’,’ for both men and women, the Corinthians, ‘Scotch Professors’ the ideas for turnstiled stadiums, national stadiums, technical areas ( ‘dugouts’,), founding the English League ( and starting the current Champions- of it,) the first football star who also longest serving chair of the FA etc. Although later the FA wrote Andrew Watson out of history for over a century- he was the first black player, captain and international captain.
Kept it alive and growing.

And still you dare to use the word soccer ev'ry now and then...

Very Smart 🤓🤓🤓

Soccer first appeared in this world at 3rd century BC in China

No mention of Sheffield being the origin of the rules of modern football seems a pretty significant omission

😂🎉☠️

People, soccer originated in Mexico. Aztec Warriors used the heads of their enemies and they kicked it threw a loop. This was called Pok ta Pok. Two teams. Loser teams was then killed. Simple. You lose you die. Pok ta Pok.

Ronaldo the goat of football was not in the pics why?

Very good to have overall reviews, but this video had many inaccuracies.
The gravest was to mention that the first international was between Scotland and Great Britain. This sentence would mean that Scotland is not part of Great Britain!!!!
The match was of course, as many have already here indicated, between Scotland and England.
Yes, the World Cup is the greatest football tournament between the nations in the whole world, but the most important, at least to this day, continental tournaments are the European Championship, Copa America (Latin America) and the African Nations Championship. In the video the Copa America was left out and there was a mention of the Asian Cup, which stature is surely rising, and that's good, but it's not still as famous as the other three, or at least as the European and Latin American (if precise, all the Americas) tournaments.

The explanation about the football was great, but the song wasn´t necessary at this presentation. Thanks a lot.

It originates on the Borders of England and Scotland 700 AD/800 AD. Quoting Chinese and Ancient Roman sources is stretching it into bollix. Rome never got into Scotland ffs and what happened to the Chinese version, did it die out and get brought back by Occidentals? Mayan footy ffs?

The first international match was between Scotland and England not Scotland and Great Britain. Scotland is IN Great Britain.
