Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. It is the sport which is played in almost every country across the world. This sport does not require much equipment and it does not have much rules. To play soccer all you need is an open space and a ball.

The sport is called soccer in the United States and Canada, but in many countries it is called football, it is the name given by Americans to an entirely different game. This game is also popular in Spanish- speaking countries and they call it as football.

Soccer is a game which is participated by two teams on a field that is shaped like a rectangle. Players on one team need to knock a round ball through the other team’s goal. The size of the field they play on is almost the size of an American football field.

Each soccer team has 11 players; the players can use any part of the bodies to hit the ball, except their hands or arms. They generally use their feet and heads as they kick, dribble and pass the ball toward the goal.

Soccer games mostly take 90 minutes. They have two 45- minute halves divided by a short break, or half time. Besides half time, the action stops only when a team scores, a foul is committed, or a player is injured. Referee is called to the official who makes sure that the rules are followed. The referee can add extra time at the end of each half to make up for time lost during delays.
