SOCCER
SOCCER IS A SPORT THAT IS WIDELY KNOWN AROUND THE WORLD. THIS GAME IS PLAYED IN A RECTANGULAR FIELD WITH TWO NET GOALS AT EITHER END WHICH TWO TEAMS OF 11 PLAYERS TRY TO DRIVE A BALL INTO THE OTHER'S GOAL BY KICKING, HEADING OR USING ANY PARTS OF THE BODY EXCEPT FOR ARMS AND HANDS.

THE GOALIE IS THE ONLY PLAYER ON THE FIELD THAT CAN TOUCH OR MOVE THE BALL USING HANDS AND ARMS BUT ONLY IN A LIMITED SPACE. IF THE DEFENDING TEAM PLAYS THE BALL WITH THEIR HAND, THE OFFENSIVE TEAM IS GIVEN A PENALTY KICK IN

THE BOX.


THE WORLD CUP WAS HELD IN SOUTH KOREA AND JAPAN. THE TOP 4 COUTRIES WERE,

1ST:BRAZIL

2ND: GERMANY

3RD: TURKEY

4TH: SOUTH KOREA

World Cup is a soccer tournament held every 4 years in which qualifying national teams compete to determine world champion. The rules of the match are very complicated, often people who watch the games don't understand the game. But if you look closely, you'll figure it out. I've been playing soccer for 13 years now, and I know most of the rules but I still don't know ALL of the rules to the game of soccer.
