Football is my favourite game. I like it most, because it is full of thrill and excitement. Football is an international game. It was first played in England. It is now played all over the world. In our country, both students and non-students take great interest in this game.
Football is an outdoor game. It is played all over the world.Football is played in a large field. The field is 110 to 120 yards long and 70 to 80 yards wide. There are two goalposts at each of the opposite ends of the field. These are eight yards apart and have a bar on them eight feet above the ground.
Football is played between two teams of eleven players on each side. There are one goalkeeper, four backs, two links and four forwards on each side. A ball is placed at the centre of the field. When the referee blows the whistle to start the game, the ball is kicked off. When the ball is kicked off, the players try to send it into the net through the goalposts of their opposite party. Only the goalkeeper can touch the ball with his hands. Other players can only kick the ball but they cannot touch it with their hands.
This game is highly exciting. Both the teams try their best to send the ball through the opposite goalposts. The team which can score more goals is said to win the game.
Football is a good form of exercise. It makes our body strong and hardy. It also teaches us discipline, brotherhood and team spirit. Besides, we get fresh entertainment by playing it. So it is my favourite game.
