Soule has common features with the rugby in Wales, such as knappan , hurling in Ireland and calcio in Italy. These games were at the end of the eighteenth century, however, no longer popular, unlike folk football that her place was made in the English colleges.

The legend would want during a football game around 1823, William Webb Ellis, pupil of Rugby School and future pastor, carried the ball in his arms and at the opponents went on to score while the traditional footballer did this with the foot. ===Football vs. soccer<span class="mw-editsection" len="345" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In reality the origin of rugby much more complicated. Each college had its own rules and the game at the foot and hand were frequent. The gesture of William Webb Ellis, to run with the ball in his hands, in a phase of the game that it's not permitted, has gradually the rules of Rugby evolve. The spread of the sport was helped by the appearance of therailways, whereby the lectures were no longer isolated and sporting events became possible.

The different colleges adopted different rules and games were played following the rules of the receiving party. This led to disagreement between the people who played with the foot and those who only played with the hands. It was alleged that playing with the foot was far too dangerous. From this controversy arose in the long run the Football Association and the Rugby-Football.
