Chinese Tsu Chu Was like soccer They played with… human heads stitched up cloths animal & human skulls pig or cow bladders. Eventually animal bladder balls were covered with leather for a better shape.

Roman and Vikings They competed against one another, kicking the head of an animal. The winning team got to bury the head on their agricultural grounds that made them believe to have a good harvest with a lot more crops.

Oldest soccer ball!

Will the future game of soccer ever be the same as the past ancient times? Soccer balls might go back to being dried up cow or pig bladders Or human heads I wonder what the playing difference is between a human head or dried up bladders.
