Soccer is a sport that involves eleven players competing for scoreboard supremacy. A goal is scored when a player puts the ball into the opposition’s goal.
The match usually lasts around ninety minutes which are divided into two halves of forty-five minutes. The match is governed by three officials, the referee with the assistance of two linesmen.
The only player with the authority to handle the ball with his hands is the goalkeeper. Coaches control the shape of the team and the selection of players. Coaches use their players like chess pieces to out smart and out play their counterpart.
The rules are quite simple and the team with the most goals after ninety minutes wins. Soccer not only tests your physical strength and fitness, but also stretches and sometimes strains your mental capacities. Having strength or power does not guarantee you success in this game.
Players with intelligence and flair can easily dismantle the biggest beast and make him look quite silly with their magical skills.
Soccer caters for every shape, size and culture. Soccer is the undefeated, undisputed world game. It does not discriminate against race or gender and allows even the youngest of kids to play.
The basic requirements are two legs that bend at the knees and a round ball of any shape. The ground could range from the dizzy heights of the San Siro to the alley slums of Rio.
If you have a burning desire and the will to play soccer, chances are you will. Soccer never distinguishes between the rich or poor and the lack of equipment required makes it accessible to everyone.
Soccer has become a mass phenomenon that borders on epidemic levels. The soccer journey will guarantee you fun, friends for life and you never know it could even fatten your bank balance.
At the end of the day soccer gives you hope. Makes you believe……
