I really want to help you since it's my background. Here's some info from the book 'Sports' The Complete visual Reference':\n "It roots back to antiquity (called sphaira by the Greeks and ollis by the Romans); in Renaissance Italy, a more elaborate version, calcio, was played. Soccer as we know it today was invented in England in the mid 19th century (1848). The first club, Sheffield Football Club, was formed in 1863, and the first competition, the Football Association (FA) Challenge Cup, was organized in 1842. The Federation international de football association (FIFA) was founded in 1904. A demonstration sport in the Olympics of 1900 and 1904, soccer became an official Olympic event in 1908. Soccer is universal because its equipment and rules are simple and because of global coverage of the World Cup. No other international event is followed so closely, due mainly to television broadcasting of matches since 1958. (1.7 billion viewers watched the France-Brazil final in 1998). Today, 203 countries are FIFA members."\n\nHope this helps for some history. I have a lot more information I can give you, but my fingers for now are tired of typing. Anyways, you can write me at lasorna@hotmail.com and subject: 'I need Soccer Info' and I'll respond. I hope you do an excellent job on your project. Good Luck.

Can i clarify that there is a difference between England and Britain.  And it is reported that yes the English were the first to draw up the rules and regulations of football.  In fact whilst King Henry 8th was on the throne 16th Century he had to ban football as itt was too brutal and too many people were dying of the injuries thats when the ref was introduced. x

Liverpool Football Club (usually known simply as Liverpool) is an English football club that is based in Liverpool, Merseyside; current holders of the English FA Cup (2006), they are the most successful English football team of all time. Since being founded in 1892, Liverpool is the only English team to have won the Champions League five times. The club also has 18 Football League titles to its name, as well as being the English club to have won the most number of UEFA Cups, European Supercups and English League Cups. The club's home ground is the 45,400 capacity Anfield stadium, which is about three miles from the centre of Liverpool and situated on Anfield Road.\n\nThe club was founded on March 15, 1892 by John Houlding, the owner of Anfield. Houlding decided to form his own team after Everton left Anfield in an argument over rent. The original name was to be Everton F.C. but was changed to Liverpool F.C. (after the F.A. refused to recognise the team as Everton). Liverpool were elected to the Football League alongside Woolwich Arsenal two years later.\n\nThe club was involved in two of the biggest tragedies in European football — at Heysel in 1985 in which 39 spectators were crushed, and Hillsborough in 1989 in which 96 people died and 766 were injured. After Heysel, English clubs were banned from European competition for a period of five years, six in the case of Liverpool.\n\nLiverpool Football Club is not to be confused with Liverpool (Rugby) Football Club which was formed in 1858 and is now known as Liverpool St. Helens. The club has always had a strong Scottish link.
