Thanks for the info.
Although, I'm not sure at what point you made me look silly. In my post regarding the rules, I merely stated that I had read that in an article somewhere and please correct me if I am wrong.
You responded with:
"I think you need to read that article again because THATS the BIGGEST load of CRAP i have EVER heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
What an excellent display of class and dignity, not to mention all of the great information provided. I really appreciated the well-thought out response.
If you had just done your google search for soccer origins before making the boorish reply, you would not look so bad right now.
