Soccer (Association Football) was more of an evolution than an invention. Various forms of football games had been played for centuries around the world.
Even inside England, though, everyone played by "home field" rules. English football enthusiasts were the ones who formed the Football Association, and made the first standardized rules for the sport.
Sports where people have kicked things have been around for centuries, but the game of Association Football (soccer) was invented in England in 1863.
In The 1860-1870 i suppose. But the world cups started later at 1930.
