GRAB YOUR FRIENDS AND A BALL ITS TIME TO PL AY! Soccer, called football in many countries, is a game played by two teams.

Each team can have up to 11 players on the field at a time. Players use their feet to kick and dribble the ball around the field to try to score goals by putting the ball in the opposing teams goal. Soccer is a very challenging game that requires a high level of fitness. Soccer players have to be able to perform under pressure, work together as a team, and practice lots of passing and dribbling skills to be able to win a game. Soccer is a contact sport. However, there are rules restricting how much contact players can make.

The referee has to decide when too much force has been used or too much contact has been made. If this happens, the referee calls a foul and gives a free kick to the side the foul was committed against. TAKE A LOOK AT PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON FOULING.
