Top Five Funny Football Moments

Introduction

Who doesn't love football? Obviously, the ones who have never given themselves the chance to watch this game. This game gathers cheering, raging fans all over the world into testosterone-filled stadiums, clubs and television lounges. There's no cultural, religious, geographical or political divide when it comes to football. The only thing that separates one group of fans from the other is the team they support. For some people it is that something to believe in and rejoice for that they find bigger than themselves, while for others it is a way to bond with friends and family as they all root for one team as the over-enthusiastic father tells his four year old how to score. And amidst all the hurrays, sweats, and kicking of the ball funny football moments happen that none of us can ever forget.

History

It is thought that the Romans first played a game that resembled football. Documented evidence regarding the Chinese military also shows us that they also played this game. The Japanese within the imperial court of Kyoto have been known to have played a game in which several people kicked the ball to each other. During the middle ages there were attempts to ban football in Europe and Shakespeare has also mentioned this wacky game in one of his plays. Later on, King James I of England wrote a book in which he encouraged Christians to partake in football every week after worship.
