People hate to admit football is truthfully, factually and rightfully an English invention due to deep jealousy and Anglophobia so they do all sorts of mental gymnastics to make ridiculous claims that other historical societies were the “true” inventors of the game. First people claimed “the Romans actually invented the game!” then people claimed the Aztecs invented the game, and now the current claim is that the ancient Chinese somehow were playing football when they really were just kicking a ball around in a circle. Kicking a ball with no rules is not football, what football is extremely clear: a game with 11 players on each size, fixed field dimensions, goalkeepers, corners, centre circle, throw-ins, free-kicks, specific ball measurements etc. All these things were developed in England in the 1800s, and therefore, football is an English sport. If you want more proof, talk to actual Chinese people. They see football as a Western (English) sport, not as their own. That’s why Mao banned the sport alongside other Western sports during the Communist Era. Football is an English sport, I know it hurts your core to accept this, but there’s nothing you can do. Football is English. Seethe.

Great video, interesting look at a long forgotten history of football (or rather, kickball). This is not too relevant to modern football, but anyone at Tifo wants to tackle the Sepak Takraw sport? You could say it's like a hybrid version of football + badminton, with crazy hang time aerobics. Or try tackling Jianzi or Chapteh, another version of keepie-uppies using weighted feather aka featherball. These 2 games are not limited to any specific country today, but the origins are kinda hazily traced to China and/or South-East Asia. Upvote this comment to get the guys at Tifo working on it!

Great vid could you do something on the Aztec game of football or the Inca version

i remember seeing a video about a southeast asian tradition where a group of skilled players just basically play keepy-uppy endlessly for the sake of the game. I think it was cambodian but I'm not sure. But there's also a malaysian sport called sepak takraw, which is sort of a hybrid between netball and volleyball, that is played throughout southeast asia. I think it's hard to argue that the similarities found between all these sports is a coincidence; there's too many ways for games like these to have spread through word of mouth due to trade, migration, etc. over hundreds or thousands of years.

Artwork is incredible

Video suggestion: How Nottingham Forrest won twice the European Cup

You can get more info in Cuju and ancient kickball of China in The Athletic.

Not really. Cuju is different from Zu Qiu. Cu is referring to the character 蹴, means kicking in old Chinese. Ju is referring to the character 鞠, means ball in old Chinese. We don't really use that two characters any more. Zu Qiu is referring to 足球 which means foot and ball.(Ti also means kicking, but is more prefer in modern Chinese)

this is so Cool

It really took off during the Bing Chilling dynasty.

I am the Chinese and I guarantee most Chinese don't even know this.

Just a reminder, in Chinese Cuju should pronounce like "Tsuju" instead of "kuju"❤
