FOOTBALL
Football or soccer, which
is considered to be the most popular sport in the world, is a team sport played
between two teams of eleven players using a spherical ball.
The object of the game,
which is played on a wide rectangular field with a goal on each end of the
field, is to score by putting the ball into the adversary goal. The goal is
kept by a goalkeeper who is allowed, except for other players, to use his/her
hands in the game. The winners are those who score the most goals. If the
football match ends in a draw the two teams may be redirected to play extra
time and/or penalty shootouts.
The way football is
played now was first codified in England. Nowadays, it is governed by the FIFA,
"Federation Internationale de Football Association" (International
Federation of Association Football). The game is played now all over the world
and competitions are organized nationally, continentally, and internationally.
The most prestigious of football competitions is the World Cup, which is held
every four years.
