Football



Football is one of the most popular games all over the world. A game played by two teams of 11 player each on a rectangular, 100-yard long field with goal lines and goal posts at either end, the object being to gain possession of the ball and advance it in running or passing plays across the opponent's goal line or kick it through the air between the opponent's goal posts. There are different types of this sport such as Beach football, Association football and Street football. Football game is also known as soccer. Football needn't be a spectator sport. All you need to enjoy the fun is a few friends and some open space. There are a few different ways to go about organizing your own game. The important thing to remember when playing with friends is that it's about having fun. There is no right or wrong way to determine how scoring, timing, etc. will play out in your game. Simply get together before "kickoff" and agree on some guidelines.

The main objective of the sport is to score more points than the other team. Points are earned by making the ball pass over line that is the 'end zone' of each team. Whoever gains more points at the end of the game will be deemed the winner. Points can be gained in the following four ways :

- By passing the ball to a teammate who has crossed the line (passing play).

- By running over the line with the ball in hand (running play).

- By tackling an opposing team player over his own end line.

- By kicking the ball between the goal posts of the opposing team.
