6. Rules
Football is played on an outdoor or sometimes indoor grass
pitch by two teams of 11 players.
The aim of the game is to score goals. By kicking or hitting
the ball with your body into and past the other team’s goalie
and get past the goal line. The team that scores the most
goals by the end of the game wins.
Off side. Off side is when you are in front of the players from
the other team but you don't have the ball and get passed
the ball. To prevent this from happening is to have a player
from the other team between you and the goalie . It does not
matter if you have the ball just make sure that if you do want
to pass the ball to someone make sure they are on side .Only
the goalkeeper on each team are allowed to touch the ball
with their hands except when taking a throw in . A throw in
is when a player from the other team kicks the ball out there
for having, taking a throw in. The other players use their feet,
head and body to move the ball around the pitch, advancing
on Their goal but protecting their own.
7. More Rules
The rules for the Olympics state that players
participating must be under the age of 23, with only 3
over aged players allowed. This was done to ensure that
the Olympics do not overshadow the World Cup as a
football competition.There are eleven players on each
team one of which is the goalie where to put the rest of
the players is up to your coach. The other positions are
backs ( defense), ford ( striker), midfield, left and right
wing.Matches are played over 90 minutes – two 45-
minute halves.
The soccer rules are fair for the game.They are
being upheld. I don't think anyone has taken
steroids or drugs in this years olympics soccer.
The country who won, won fairly.
