Football

Football is a very famous sport which is played all over the world.It is played between two teams each having eleven players,with a spherical ball.It is believed that football started from England.

The game is played on a rectangular field of grass or green artificial turf with a goal in the middle of each of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by driving the ball into the opposing goal. In general play, the goalkeepers  are the only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands or arms, while the field players typically use their feet to kick  the ball into position, occasionally using their torso or head to intercept a ball in midair. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end of the game, either a draw  is declared or the game goes into extratime and/or a penalty shootout , depending on the format of the competition.

The Laws of the Game  published in England by the Football Association in 1863 remain the basis for the way the sport is played today. Association Football is governed internationally by FIFA which organises the World cup every four years. Spain is the winner of the world cup of 2010 organished in south Africa.
