Soccer is the most popular sport in the word. It is the national sport of most
European and Latin-American nations. Millions of people in more than 140
countries around the world play soccer.
In a soccer game there are two teams of 11 players who try to score a point by
kicking a ball into the net. It is playing on a rectangular field with a net on each
short side of the field. All players must hit the ball with their feet or body and only
the goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball with his/her hands. Soccer can help
people stay fit and healthy, so many people can play soccer and get benefit from it.
Soccer is very fun, and it is a great recreational sport.
A soccer game begins with a kickoff in the center of the field. A coin is flipped to
decide which team will kickoff. The other team will kick off at the start of the
second half when the teams switch sides or nets. After a team scores the other
team gets to kickoff to begin again. The kickoff takes place in the middle of the
field. A player may kick the ball into the net with any part of the body except the
hands and arms. If the ball goes out of the field, the play will start with a corner
kick, a goal kick, or a throw-in. The referee decides what type to use. A throw in
happens when the ball crosses the touch line. When it crosses the touch line the
team that did not touch it last throws the ball in the field. The ball is thrown over
their head with two hands. Fouls are called when a player does not play by the
rules and the opposite team will receive a penalty kick, a direct free kick or and
indirect free kick.
The rules of play soccer have deliberately been kept simple, the referee makes
most of decision, and attempts to encourage fair play.
