What is football game or Soccer?
Football, also known as soccer, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players. The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The object of the game is to score by kicking the ball into the opposing team’s goal. The team that scores the most goals wins the game.
In football, players can use any part of their body except their hands and arms to touch the ball. The ball is typically kicked with the foot, but can also be struck with other parts of the body, such as the head (a technique known as a “header”). The game is played in two halves, with a break in between. The length of the game can vary depending on the league and level of competition, but is typically around 90 minutes.
Football is one of the most popular sports in the world, with millions of fans and players worldwide. It is played professionally in many countries, and international tournaments, such as the World Cup, are held every four years and are watched by billions of people around the globe.
