  Two teams try to get a ball into a goal by kicking it around.

  Each team has eleven players, including the goalie.
  Each team has to try and get the ball into the oppositons soccer net by using any part of the body except your hands. You must never use your hands during the game unless you are the goalie.

  The team with the most points/goals at the end of the ninety(90) minute game, wins. Each soccer game has two halves of playing time, each consisting of forty-five minutes. If the two teams tie at the of the game, they go into overtime.

  Overtime lasts thirty minutes, with each half consisting of fifteen minutes.

  If the teams are still tied at the end of that, they have a penalty kick shoot out.

  That’s how it is played.

  11 a side, defenders, midfielders, forwards and a keeper.
  try your best to put the ball in the back of the net.
  deliberate and unnecessary actions can cause you to be booked, yellow for warning, and red card for suspension.
  if the foul happened inside the penalty box, a penalty will be rewarded, if outside of it, a free kick.
  if the ball went out of the sideline, a throw in is rewarded
  if the ball went out of the baseline, a corner kick is rewarded
  the game is divided into two halves, by 45 minutes
  if the game is a draw after 90 minutes of regular time, extra time of 30 minutes is given, divided into two 15min halves (this just happens though during cup football elimination)
  if still after extra time it is a draw, a penalty shootout will happen, 5 each, and if it is still level after that, sudden death will happen.

  there really are a lot to learn, haha.:P not just these ones, but these are the basics. but watch football games, you’d learn it eventually.

  Two teams consisting of 11 players trying to get the ball to cross the goal line the most times without using any part of the hand in 90 minutes.
  That’s the basic.
