TBH it should be called football cos thats what it was called in Tudor times. Although I'm reliably informed that the Tudor game involved pitchforks....so maybe it is right to call ur version Football after all

the FIFA are, quite frankly, something I don't care to post here. They let banned known football hooligans buy tickets to go to portugal and then complain of bad behavior.]<br><br>And Thanks, Zaaphod, I never knew that. But rugby was invented in (where else?) Rugby in England, when some schoolboy picked up the ball and ran the length of the field with it. Next thing is, its an international sport :/<br><br>Well, In Year 7 (2000) I invented Table Rugby. All u need is a 2 pence coin, a pencil, a school desk and some felt tips! I wrote full rules and evrything! Will post them if I can find them
