Such as in America there is the NFL and in countries like Australia, New Zealand, some of the islands and parts of Europe have have football games called Rugby League and Rugby Union." Lawson gave Jake a wink as he walked passed him.

"When the game is over and if nobody has scored then it is called a 'draw.' It's not like Quidditch where the game continues until the snitch is caught. In soccer/football they have an allotted time for the match."

Lawson continued to walk amongst the students as he spoke, "Now I have awarded you all one point for your answers. Now as I stated there are more rules in the game of soccer but I'll think I'll leave that for your homework." Because Marcus of course would rather get into the fun parts but first...

"So when did the first game of soccer/football come about?"

"Sir, I believe that the first game of football/soccer was play in the mid-19th century about 1863 in England." Kay said with her hand up.
