Football


Football is the game firstly played on Mid-19th century on England.Which is played by 11 players pes side. The game is also called,"the beautiful game","the world game". Football or Soccer is played between two teams of eleven players using a spherical ball. It is the most popular sports in the world.

The game is played on a rectangular grass or artificial turf feild, with a goal in a centre 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 use their hands or arms to propel the ball; the rest of the team usually use their feet to kick the all into position,occasionally using their torso or head to intersept a ball in midair. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score us tied at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time and/or a penalty shootout, depending on the format of the competition.The Middle Ages saw a huge rise in popularity of annual Shrovetide football matches throughout Europe, particularly in England. The game played in England at this time may have arrived with the Roman occupation, but the only pre-Norman reference is to boys playing "ball games" in the ninth century Historia Brittonum. Reports of a game played in Brittany, Normandy, and Picardy, known as La Soule or Choule, suggest that some of these football games could have arrived in England as a result of the Norman Conquest.
