Summary: The exact origins of the game of soccer are a bit muddy. However, it is known that a soccer-like game has been played around the world for about 3,000 years. The game as we know it was conceived in England. Soccer, or football, was a very violent sport that had no rules. There were actually laws passed to stop the game, but they failed.
