Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.

    Britain should give Argentina the Falklands because they won the world cup. It's your own game, England! it's more than fair!

        Lots of cultures had ball-kicking games (lol).

        My Greek doctor claims that soccer was invented in ancient Greece because there's a tableau of a naked boy kicking a ball around.

        I think either Incas or Mayans had one that was like soccer/volleyball.

        China did indeed have one too.

        Modern soccer descends from the medieval English version where teams were hundreds of people trying to get a ball from point A to point B kilometres away. Very goofy and dangerous.

          Now that you mention it ball kiking games seem like they would be developed very early.
