Football (also known as Association football or soccer) is a team sport played between two teams each consisting of 11 players and is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world. It is a ball game played on a rectangular grass field (or occasionally on an artificial pitch) with a goal at each end. The object of the game is to score by maneuvering the ball into the opposing goal. The predominant feature of the sport is that players other than the goalkeepers may not use their hands or arms to propel the ball in general play. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the match.

Its a ball game w/ a black & white ball. No hands allowed, but feet, chest, and head can be used. Their are 2 nets on each side of the field- when the ball goes into a net, the team that kiked the ball in gets a point.

FOOTBALL, is a very simple game. There are two teams of 11 players, two goals(a great big net on ground level guarded by a goal keeper who is part of one of the teams) and one ball (about a foot in diameter). The idea is for each team to get the ball into the opposing teams goal by kicking it to each other. And that is about it, there are lots of rules the govern fair play in the game, but I do not know what they are.

soccer is a game played on a field. there are two nets on the field, one at each end, one for each team. you must kick the ball in to opponents net without the goalie blocking it. you can pass it, kick it, just like that.you pass it by kicking it with the inside of your foot, not a traditional kick. i hope that i helped. =)

a sport that you have two teams in of 11 and you have 1 goalie on each team that blocks the other teams shots. the goalie is the only one who can use there hands. all the other players can use anything but there hands. It is a ball game and the point is to score in the net past the goalie.
