The exact origins of the game of soccer are a bit muddy. However, it is known that a soccer-like game has been played around the world for about 3,000 years. The game as we know it was conceived in England. Soccer, or football, was a very violent sport that had no rules. There were actually laws passed to stop the game, but they failed. Soccer later adopted rules and became the game it is today, though hooliganism remains as a vestige of simpler, more brutal times.
