FOOT BALL IN PAST

In China:
150 years passed since the invention of foot ball. Before that date there were similar games to nowadays one.Where the ball was to be kicked by foot. The aim was to take control on the ball then throw it through
 a basket, or place it in a hole, or simply let it pass over a barrier.
There is a scientific prove attesting the practice of foot ball so near to the modern way. In ancient chinese impire, foot ball was among the military training exercises,  During Han's regime (a Chinese ruler)  it became a popular game. The ball was called" Tso Tsho"; it was made of leather which was filled with feather and hair. Succers kicked the ball with their feet only. To score a goal players shot at a little net tightened to two 
poles.
It was not permitted to touch the ball with hands, instead players could use their foot, backs and shoulders.
In Japan:
Just close to china in extreme orientn in Japan there was a also another japanese game called "Kimawi". People played it after (Tso Tsho ) more than 5OO years. In reverse to Tso. there were no stuggle on he ball but players used to stand in a circle then throw the ball to each others provided that it does not touch the ground.
