Football, also known as soccer, is a team sport played between two teams, of eleven players each, and is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world. It is a ball game played on a rectangular grass field (or occasionally on an artificial pitch) with a goal at each end. The object of the game is to score by maneuvering the ball into the opposing goal. The predominant feature of the sport is that no players other than the goalkeepers may use their hands or arms to propel the ball in general play. The winner is the team who scores the most goals by the end of the match. The modern game was codified in England following the formation of the Football Association, whose 1863 Laws of the Game created the foundations for the way the sport is played today. Football is governed internationally by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).

I think football is the best game ever invented, i tend to get very passionate about it when Man U are playing such as tonight when they will be playing Celtic in the champions league( oh yes, there i'll be as usual shouting at my TV LOL) hope we win, i also like watching other really good teams doing what they do best (Real Madrid,Arsenal,Barcelona,Juventus,Brazil) it's a GREAT GAME!!!

I like watching the game, most specially if I'm cheering for my husband. I also like to play but I think I still need more training.
