Why was soccer invented?

That's a good question and I don't really know that I can answer it fully and correctly. But, just like other games, someone came up with an idea for an activity that they thought would be fun and entertaining. Other people learned of this game and they, too, thought this activity would be entertaining. Over time, as more people learned of the game and watched the game and played the game, popularity in the game increased. So someone comes up with a standard set of rules on how to play the game, these rules become accepted by those that play, and in essence, the game is invented.
