All about soccer

Hello world!! I have chosen for this sport, because I play football myself. Let me explain about soccer. Football is one of the most popular ball sport of the world and so it is in Holland. The best people are playing for 90 minutes and there are 11 players in the field. From both clubs, of course. You need footballshoes, a shirt, a football short and long socks. You must play it with your head, body and your feet, but a goalkeeper can take the ball with his hands only in the sixteen meter area.If the keeper is in the five meter area and a player is going to made a duel than it’s a freekick for the goalkeeper.The modern game was codified in England following the formation of the Football Association, whose 1863 Laws of the game created the foundations for the way the sport is played today. Football is governed internationally by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). A player can get yellow and red if you make a normal tackle but on the legs or something than it’s yellow and if you make a very hard tackle it’s red, but if you get 2 times yellow than it’s red. I like football very much, because I play it every week.
