Humans have been kicking things as a game for thousands of years, but when it comes to the modern game of soccer, there's no disputing that it originated in England. England

Founded in 1863, it was the first organized soccer association in the world, and at the same time, it also drafted the earliest rules of soccer. Since it was the first FA (Football Association) in the world, there is no other FA organization in any other place, so it does not have the name of the country or place it belongs to in front of it, therefore, when you call FA, it refers to England.

The term "England FA" is unique to England.
When the IFA was first established, as the British believed that soccer was invented by them, even if an international soccer organization was to be set up, it should be led by the British, for the IFA initiated by the French, the United Kingdom, which is the birthplace of soccer, showed little interest in it, and as the IFA wanted to fight for the United Kingdom to join them in order to expand their influence in the international arena, they had to make compromises on two things, the first one was about the The first was about the English Football Association, Scottish Football Association, Welsh Football Association and Irish Football Association. As they were founded earlier than the IFA and there was no unification of the four associations in the UK, the IFA had to accept that each of the four associations would join the IFA in an independent manner.
The second was that in the early days of soccer, the rules were not the same between the four nations of England, so they formed in 1886 a group of four

The IFAB (International Football Association Board), which was formed by the British Football Association (BFA), revised and formulated the common soccer rules, and the IFA had to recognize and use the rules formulated by the IFAB. In 1913, the International Football Association (IFA) also joined the IFAB, and the structure of the entire international football arena was roughly completed, with the IFA in charge of administrative affairs, and the rules of the game in the hands of the four major players in the United Kingdom.

Hands.
England withdrew from the IFA for the first time in 1920, because at the end of the Great War, England thought that the defeated Allies should be banned from participating in IFA matches, but the IFA still admitted the membership of the defeated countries, so England withdrew from the IFA together with Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, and England's attitude softened in 1924, and it returned to the IFA. In 1928, England had a conflict with the FIFA over the recognition of professional players, and England withdrew from the FIFA again in anger, thus missing the World Cups in 1930, 1934 and 1938.
After the end of World War II, England joined the FIFA for the third time, and the goodwill of the FIFA responded by expelling Germany and Japan from the FIFA, which could be regarded as a way to make up for the disagreement caused by the failure to respond to England's request after the World War II. When England returned to the international soccer world, they found that the soccer strength of other countries was improving rapidly, and the situation no longer allowed England to be arrogant. In 1950, England could not even get out of the group stage of the World Cup for the first time, and this also made the English people feel a real sense of crisis.
England's performance in three consecutive World Cups was extremely poor. Being the motherland of soccer and having the earliest professional league in the world, England should have an advantage in terms of both players' ability and overall tactics, but they never expected that it would be so difficult to win international matches, so England realized that they had to catch up, and commissioned Alf Ramsey to be the manager-in-chief, and carried out a series of reforms, including the full use of the world's popular four defenders and the wing attacking style. He commissioned Alf Ramsey as head coach and carried out a series of reforms, including the full use of the world's popular four-quarterback and wing attacking style of play.
This coincided with the emergence of a group of great English soccer stars, including captain Bobby Moore, gifted goalscorer Jimmy Greaves, the great goalkeeper Gordon Banks, and of course, the survivor of the Munich plane crash.

The legendary Bobby Charlton. In the summer of 1966, when the World Cup was held for the first time in the birthplace of soccer, England topped the group to reach the knockout stage, then beat Argentina and Portugal in succession before facing West Germany in the final.
