Football is the real name of "soccer." It is all about passion and team work, 1 player doesn't win the world cup, but all 11 players. For some people, football is not a game, it is life, it is filled with ups and downs like other sports but it should not be put next to American Football. American Football has 1 season every year and then stop, but Football is widely play, after a season players get called up to play for there national teams, including during the season, that makes it more difficult that's why you need endurance and ability.

*Not to be confused with American Football.
Football, often called 'The Beautiful Game', is invented by the English and is the most popular sport worldwide. The general objective of the game is to score more goals in their goal than the other team. It has two teams, each with eleven players separated into 4 positions:

*Goalkeeper

*Defence

*Midfield

*Attack

It comprises of two goals on either side of the pitch, with each team owning their own half. The goal that they want to shoot in is on the opposite side to their half.
Each team starts on one side of the pitch, which changes in the second half, and consequently so does the goal they want to shoot in.The game lasts for about 90 minutes (not including extra time) split into two 45 minute halfs, separated by a 10-15 minute 'half time' period.

Poorly educated loutish individual, who is often challenged by words containing over two syllables. This being, despite regular insults rarely takes a substantial blow to its self esteem due to its truly gargantuan ego, which shields it from the harsh reality of its own shortcomings. Unfortunately however, the aforementioned fails to cover so much as half of the individual's problems; you may at this point be thinking that a word such as "cunt" would fit the bill, however despite the fact that a footballer fulfills all aspects of this obscenity, the obscenity fails to encapsulate all aspects of the object it is intended to describe. Thus, to conclude I shall simply say that these dismal beings which burden society tend to have the charisma of John Prescott, the aesthetic merit of a frost-bitten genital and the compassion and respect for others of Chairman Mao, a definition which should help you to avoid them.
This word can rarely be used oratorically because the object at which it is aimed tends to be making a considerably louder, yet truly unfathomable noise, however if you are fortunate enough to be far from its immediate surrounding an example may be, "behold, this footballer has taken a fairly limp wristed impact on the shin, and yet he is now falling in a manner of sub-human dignity to the ground, many feet from the point of contact!"

Contrary to the beliefs of many brits on here, football is a sport in which teams try to move the ball past the opposing team's goal line to score a touchdown. It is not a game just played by ass-slapping fatasses, it is actually one of the most demanding sports in the world. Players must memorize a playbook sometimes containing hundreds of plays. Football is the ultimate team sport, teammates must learn to rely on each other in clutch situations. And if you think wearing pads makes football players pussies, then you try getting crushed by a 250 pound linebacker. The pads are used more for weapons than anything. And football has equally passionate fans as soccer does, however you dont see us starting mobs that eventually trample 50 people to death.
Brit: American football is for pussies and wankers hehehe it stops every two seconds and therefore i hate it and all americans!!!!
