As a Mexican and a football fan I'm always eager to hear on new tellings (findings, interpretations,narratives) of both the Chinese and Mesoamerican predecessors of modern football , and what better than in TIfo style? Great job, though you could've pushed further into modern comparisons as you did with Calcio Storico(My bad, copa90's video)to try to clutch onto viewers harder. Before reading some of the comments I knew it´d be hard to digest for some. Thank you for your hard work.

I loved the video! Very interesting watch. A small correction is that you've done a drawing of Chichen Itza instead of The Pyramid Of The Sun in Teotihuacán, which you've also transliterated in a way that isn't very common. Chichen Itza is 1400km away!

Thanks for the video! Saludos desde Oaxaca 😁. It's said that often, and in some prehispanic societies, there were actually the winners the ones that were sacrificed. Here in Oaxaca there's a prehispanic game that is also played nowdays (with some obvious changes): the pelota Mixteca

I was there, what a day out it was! When Paarhenous scored in the last minute & went SIUUUUUU to the home end it was like time stood still. Hats off to Ronaldo honouring him.

Great video but you highlighted cuba instead of the island of hispaniola (Haiti/Dominican republic)

Back when Zlatan was promising youngster

some corrections! the ball has to pass through a hole to score points, and the sacrificed players were the ones who won the game, it was considered an honor to be sacrificed to the gods, explains our current shortage of mexican players in the champions league :b saludos

When I was at Chichen Itza the tour guide told us that they played on their hands and knees and it was the winners that were sacrificed not the losers as it was a great honour in their culture Edit: just remember that was more like basketball then football but my point about the winner being scarified probably still applies

Thank you illustrator/editor this was really excellently animated!

Congrats to all involved in this great video! Excellent stuff! I especially loved the twins story animation!

Learning history with Tifo Football. Wonderful

I visited the Chichen Itza temple in Mexico in 2011. Out guide stated that the winning captain would be sacrified by the losing captain to the Gods (as they only wanted worthy sacrifices). Each winning captain would then be remembered by a stone carving of a skull, of which there were many.

When I visited one of these courts in Mexico the tour guide said it was the captain of the winning team who was sacrificed?! I always thought that must be a translation error!

For Reference, watch Doraemon : Nobita and The Legendary Sun Kings Movie for the illustration of First ever Soccer Match.

As the video said, there variations of the game. In some you win if your opponent failed to keep the ball from touching de ground. In others, you score points if the ball go through the ring your opponent was defending. And in others, the first to pass the ball through the ring wins. There is no "official rules" because most of the cultural aspects of the game were lost during the conquest and colony.
