What do you mean by that? As far as proffessional leagues our only continuous real league is the MLS in only it's 10th season right now. Our colleges have been playing for decades. Our NT for decades as well.

MLS = 10 years
National team...for a long time. There is a movie in the works about the 1950 team that defeated England at the world cup...don't ask me why..

Club teams? I think the oldest team could be from the 1970's. I'm unsure about this, because teams have merged and changed names from the NASL.

The oldest teams will more than likely be a college team.

Well the US Open Cup, the premier cup competition in the American game started in 1914. That's pretty far back.

Ah, except its not as much a "rip off" as a separate sport all together.

The first "football" game here was 1869. The modern game started more in 1906 when the forward pass was legalized.

How did a potential question turn into something completely different?
