Sport

I love football, it is probably my favorite (dumb American spelling) sport (although I also play table tennis and do diving) if you don't know what it is then you live in underground, on a moon,from another planet. Football is an awesome sport about skill and team work, It also is about using your feet (duh). It is really fun to play and watch, I would say it has physical benefits as well because a lot of the time you have to run around.

The rules are simple enough:

Two teams, each has to defend a goal. You also need to get the ball into the other goal by using every body part except the hand, arms and other obvious places. If the ball goes into the opponents teams goal then your team gets a goal. If you are too rough (or if you have an unfair referee) then the ref can give out free kicks: a kick of from the point of the foul, penalties: a free kick where only the goal keeper (see roles and positions) can try to save a goal (this will only happen if  the foul was in the goal box (a square line around the goal). also if you use your hands the ref will give you one of these punishments.

Roles and positions:

Goal keeper: has to defend the goal and may use his hands in the goal box.
Striker: tries to get past the keeper and score a goal.
Mid- fielder: closes the gap between the strikers and the defenders,also a part striker
defender: is the second to last line of defense, tries to get the ball of the striker.

Video Games:
football probably is the sport that has been most made into a video game, the fifa series is the most popular of all the games (fifa 15 is due to come soon).

This is one of my longer post and thanks for reading if you got this far.
Oh yeah there are also red and yellow cards (look it up), bye
