Da, a nogomet nije izmišljen u Engleskoj nego isto u Češkoj i prvotno se zvao kopana.

Hazena se rukomet zove i dan danas u Češkoj (hazet' = bacati), a do nas je dopro preko češke, ali su ga izmislili Danci. Uostalom, evo sa Wikipedie, da ne tražim dalje:
Team handball has origins reaching as far as antiquity: urania in ancient Greece, harpaston in ancient Rome, fangballspiel in medieval Germany, etc. There are also records of handball-like games in medieval France, and among the Inuit in Greenland, in the Middle Ages, and in Ancient Africa, primarily Egypt. By the 19th century, there existed similar games of haandbold from Denmark, hazena in Bohemia and Slovakia, gandbol in Ukraine, torball in Germany, as well as versions in Ireland and Uruguay.
The team handball game as we know it today was formed by the end of the 19th century in northern Europe, primarily Denmark, Germany, Norway and Sweden. The Dane Holger Nielsen drew up the rules for modern handball (håndbold) in 1898 (and published them in 1906), and R.N. Ernst did something similar in 1897.
Uostalom, to o Danskoj piše i u američkom olimpijskom trening centru u Coloradu Springsu, usliko sam negdje tu spomen ploču, imam na kompu doma...
Nego, jel nema tamo u nekoj žnj ligi u Dalmaciji nogometni klub "Urania"? E od sad zdušno navijam za njih!!
