Well, considering the Scots invented it, and called it FOOTball, cos you kick the ball with your FOOT, it kind of makes sense to me.  Less of the language please.

Arguably soccer was invented in London in 1863 when men sat down to codify the games that they had enjoyed playing at their "public schools". An association called "The Football Association" was formed. The word "soccer" is short for "Association Football", as distinct from "Rugby Football", which was another sport codified by ex public schoolboys in the late 19th century.\nThere's a pretty clear evidence that some ancient civilizations developed a game somewhat similar to contemporary football. However, the "modern" football (or soccer) was invented in the year 1848 in the Cambridge University by a bunch of students, who were bored by other games and decided to set some rules. The game didn't resemble today's football since catching the ball with your hands was allowed. Despite that, we can say that they were one of the first people who invented the game.

The very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise dating back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. in China. A military manual dating from the period of the Han Dynasty includes among the physical education exercises, the "Tsu'Chu". This consisted of kicking a leather ball filled with feathers and hair through an opening, measuring only 30 - 40 cm in width, into a small net fixed onto long bamboo canes - a feat which obviously demanded great skill and excellent technique. A variation of this exercise also existed, whereby the player was not permitted to aim at his target unimpeded, but had to use his feet, chest, back and shoulders whilst trying to withstand the attacks of his opponents. Use of the hands was not permitted. The ball artistry of today's top players is therefore not quite as new as some people may assume.\n\nThe contemporary history of football spans more than 100 years. It all began in 1863 in England, when rugby football and association football branched off on their different courses and the world's first football association was founded - The Football Association in England. Both forms of football stemmed from a common root and both have a long and intricately branched ancestral tree. Their early history reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees and to which the historical development of football is related and has actually been traced back. Whether this can be justified in some instances is disputable. Nevertheless, the fact remains that playing a ball with the feet has been going on for thousands of years and there is absolutely no reason to believe that it is an aberration of the more "natural" form of playing a ball with the hands.\n\nMore on the history off the game, check:\nhttp://www.fifa.com/en/history/history/0,1283,1,00.html
