that's heartbreaking

It's called FOOTball, because its played with feet.

FIFA - International Federation of Association Football

American Football - light version of Rugby, played mainly with hands/body contact, dunno who idiot decided that it must be called football

A soccer ball is a great gift for them.

Snade,
That statement is about as irrelevant as you.

it's not sad, it's very creative. Look at most of the kids of richer countries - like zombies in front of tv or computer screen... and these kids from Africa - yes, poor, but creative childhood. They know how to make the best of what they have. My love and respect to them

Good question- why don't you go back 120 years and ask around?
