The game was very violent that around the 1300's, a Britain king passed laws to try to stop the playing of the game. In the 1800's this game became to be known as football or soccer in the United Kingdom. At the time football was very popular in the northwest of Europe and different universities started looking for ways and rules to make this typical game less violent.
