  • THE ORIGINAL FOOTBALL IS ACTUALLY FROM ANCIENT CHINA OVER 2200 YEARS AGO.YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT AT 【New Frontier HQ】 Soccer and Its Origin in China

  • @DQFXPRESS Yes it is.. no-one said it wasn't.. this documentary is about the birth of the *modern game* - Association Football.

  • I clicked on this thinking it was about football, but I ended up watching it anyway. This football isn't all that bad.

  • @noellennon ho ho! The "Football" you play back home is a variation of "Rugby Football" (which you would have seen in this documentary).. Back in the day some preferred to use their feet, others preferred to grab the ball and use their brawn..
