Football: A Game of Excitement and Passion

Football is a dynamic sport. There are two teams and each team has eleven players. The game of football demands teamwork.  The objective is to score goals by getting the ball into the other team's net. There are two halves and each one lasts 45 minutes. There is one important rule: players can't use their hands or arms. Only the goalkeepers can use their hands. Therefore, the players must have skilled footwork. They can pass the ball only with their legs. The referee can give yellow and red cards to players who do not play by the rules.

The team with the most goals at the end wins. If the game ends in a tie, it may go into extra time or a penalty shootout to determine the winner.
