 And the last one is something every european (UK included) has wondered:

Funny story: The success rate for field goals was around or below 50 % before actual football players from Europe showed and taught Americans how to properly kick a ball. Nowadays the success rate is around or above 90 %

But really its with the emergence of the Australian punters that has made the kicking better. Ben Graham in only his 5 season in 2009 equalled the record with 42 punts inside the 20. So I think you are all wrong and Australian football is the real version.

Australian football started in 1859 with Association football laws of the game being set in 1863 and American Football in 1874 so you cant argue which game officially started first
