what is football?

Football is really simple and easy to understand. It starts with a ball, which is round. There are two teams, each trying to win. The objective is to kick the ball into the opposite team's net, scoring a goal. At the end of 90 minutes, the team with the most goals wins.

Each football team consists of 11 players. 10 of these players get to run around, passing the ball among each other, trying to kick it into the opposite team's net, or or tackling (in a sporty manner) players of the opposite team when they've got possession of the ball. The most important point is that they're not allowed to touch the ball with their hands- you can kick it, or use any other body-part that isn't your hands or arms.The 11th player is the goalkeeper, and he is allowed to use his hands. His job is to stand at the net and keep the ball from coming in. And that's all there is to football.
