Soccer

First of all, what is soccer? Soccer is a game played by two teams of eleven players. The games is played with a ball that may not be touched with the arms or hands during the play, all except the goalkeeper may not touch the ball with their hands. The game is split in two halves each of 45 minutes. The objective of the game is two score on the opponents goal by either kicking or heading the ball. The first game ever played, according to the internet was in 1863. A soccer field is about 130 yards long and 100 yards in width. During the course of the game many things could happen, fouls,offside,and hand ball. In order for things like this to happen without being noticed there is a referee. This man marks the fouls and if it is serious he will give a yellow card, which is a warning.If you get another one you automatically get a red card which means you are out of the game and can't play the next game only if the game is for points. If it is just a friendly game you are just suspended from that game. The ref can also give  you an automatic red card if you do a bad tackle or purposely do something you are supposed to do. This is the basics of soccer and how you are supposed to play it.
