@EnglishHuscarl Scotland 'invented' football.

Saying China invented football because they played a game in which a ball was kicked, is like saying the first caveman to throw an egg invented Rugby and American Football. Sorry FIFA and China, but as much as you don't like the fact, England undoubtedly invented football.

@quickmantan Oh, no I'm American. I just though it was first played in Greece because I seen old carvings and statues of people playing Football at Greece. And China's Olympic opening was great I agree, I think they should host the the World Cup just to see another opening like that...

@jvmc08

and we know greeks created the olympics.. but chinas olympic opening was the best ever seen, and i remember being online and all the greeks were claiming greece opening as miles better than chinas PML pure bias views and lies... so i guess i just jumped to conclusions you were greek.

@jvmc08

china are absolute garbage at football i totally agree, but that doesnt have anything to do with creating it or not,, british people created the modern game of football, but they are rubbish at it too..

i mean bias views, cause greek people or ive encountered always try and say they have more history than china, and invented things first.. its all bullshit cause china is proven in history through artifacts, greece stuff is just claims with no evidence..

@quickmantan wow calm down, don't get offended I just said I though Greece played it first. Football was also played by Native Americans but people can't really pinpoint a date. And what bias views are you talking about? China is complete garbage in International Football, and that's a fact.

@jvmc08

lol greece alwasy try to say they created everything... its fact and hardcore proof in artifacts that whatever they claim they created are backed up.... thats why even porfessional people and people with brains, not idiots like you that sit behind a computer with bias views... SAY CHINA INVENTED IT.. NOT GREECE.

china invented almost everything in the world that was important. theres more geniuses in china, than there are ppl in education in USA. and only 2% of the world are geniuses

[jvmc08]

With over a billion people you'll think that china would be a top contender in the world cup. Also I thought Ancient Greece was the first to play Football then China??
