Football was invented in England, but not in a University.\n\nRugby was invented in an English public school (Rugby, funnily enough) when a prat called Webb Ellis picked-up the football and ran with it. Everyone was so annoyed they jumped on him!\n\nFootball has always been a poor mans sport! It was originally played between villages, with no limit to the number of players. A pigs bladder was blown-up and tied and the object of the game was to get the bladder into the other village.\n\nThe British monarchy actually banned it because they were concerned that too many people were playing instead of practising archery (which was needed on the battle-field)!\n\nFinally the Football Association was formed and wrote some rules. Nearly all of the first teams were from the Midlands area of England and were formed by working-class men.\n\nArsenal, for example (although a bit later) was formed by factory workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich (employing 120,000 people at that time). They started by kicking a ball about at lunchtime in Dial Square and later formed a team.\n\nSo to your question. Yes Football was invented in England, and it's spiritual home is still there. I would not say it belongs to England though, it is a world game (note please USA) and belongs to everyone.

Association Football was first regulated by the English - and the first internationals were between English & Scottish sides. So since the beginning we've always been seperate for football. \n\nThe modern olympics weren't invented by us, so we have to abide by someone else's rules :D

Football is the term use in England, Soccer is the term use in Stated.  Both are the same sport, unless you are talking about 'American Football'.

Yes, you're right. It is owned by the local authorities and leased out to both clubs. Very few clubs in Italy actually own the land where their stadia occupy.
