has something among his legs

 

[Salento]

that is only in USA
where they play a kind of 'armor plated' rugby and call it football.
it is FIFA

Fédération Internationale de Football Association
Not FISA
it is UEFA not UESA,
so beacause in USA they named football a game that has nothing to with feet,
does mean that rest world will accept it,
Britain the oldest football assosiation 1863

@Yetos
If I want to catch a male undercover foreign Spy pretending to be an American, I would casually “accidentally” roll a Ball toward him, If he KICKS the ball back to me, he is a Spy.

If he lifts the ball from the ground and he throws it back with his HANDS to me, he's not a Spy.

Instinct is hard to beat 狼

If he lifts the ball up with his foot, balances it perfectly on his head for about half a minute, let's it roll down his back, bumps it up with his butt and then heels it forward over his head, he definitely a Brazilian spy!

Where did soccer originate

I hit my bookmark for far future to see if anything new was for sell and all I got was an ad for a violen instructer. Did it go belly up or is it just a web error.

 

[Адам. Б. К.]

And if he raises the ball with his foot in the air and:
- hits him with a hand, is he an Argentine spy?
- Is he a Japanese spy chopping him with a katana?
- Does he hit an American spy with a baseball bat?
- He pierces his sword, he is a French spy?

Game of balls were also played in ancient Rome ( more similar to modern rugby IIRC) then we have the florentine football ( something similar can be found overall europe during middle age) probably the ancestor of modern football....

Calcio Fiorentino is not the ancestor of modern football at all, it's a 16th century invention

Mentions of forms of 'football' exist in Britain (and indeed other European states) from much earlier than that

Football was invented in England but became magical in Brazil.

Congratulations, Salento. Unfortunately, soccer players, like American football and rugby players, take a risk.

Thanks

About professional players injuries, It’s a Sacrifice They are Willing to Make (money, glory, fame, love of the game, ..)

Lady Gaga fell off the stage a few days ago.

Every action, job, activity can cause short or long term issues.

I’m all for safety and prevention, but things happen even to people that live in a Bubble, the bubble could burst.

It would be nice if it were true, but I doubt the Americans who invented baseball knew anything about this game.

It's sad, but even today I doubt most Americans know much about the history of Balkans countries, or could even locate them on a map.

It is a lie that we were told in history lessons, we were told that the English found
