Okay, let's start with defining what we mean by the terms soccer' and football'. Soccer is fairly straightforwar d as it is the sport of Association Football. Soccer is known, however, throughout most of the world simply as football. For the purposes of this article, however, we will use the term soccer to differentiate it from its American cousin, American Football. In fact, if we're to use family terminology to describe the relationship between soccer and American football, then grandfather/gr andchild would be more appropriate. The sport that was to become soccer was born' in 1848, which is when the first formal set of rules were drawn up. A breakaway group then created a separate sport (where handling the ball was allowed) and this would become known as rugby. In turn, rugby would cross the Atlantic and spawn the creation of the sport of Gridiron or American football. The most obvious difference that a sports fan will discern between soccer a nd American football is that soccer is played mainly by kick ing the ball and it is only the goalkeeper who can handle the ball. American football, in contrast, is played by throwing the ball.
