The Great Game Of Soccer!

The game of soccer is played and enjoyed by people all over the world. To play soccer, you need two teams with eleven people on each team, a ball, and a place to play it at. Soccer games are usually played on a field that has a rich layer of finely mowed grass on it. Soccer is usually played by children and teenagers; however, it can be played by adults. This is a competitive sport that can be enjoyed by everyone in the family and it does not matter how old they are.

The object of a game of soccer is to get the ball in to the other team's goal without using your hands. People who play soccer usually use their feet but many players have been known to use their heads quite a bit during the game to hit the ball if it is in the air. The only people allowed to use their hands during a soccer game are the goalkeepers, who stop the ball from going in to the net.

These people are usually referred to as goalies too, and referees are liable to issue penalties to any other player that uses their arms and hands to move the ball toward the end of the field. Linesmen keep a sharp lookout on the action that goes on during a soccer game. They use hand signals to communicate their calls to the referees and the players that are participating in the game and on the sidelines.

Soccer is a team sport and the team that works together is usually the team that wins. Both teams try to score points by moving the soccer ball with their feet and the team with the most points will win the game at the end of the day. If there is a tie, then a draw will occur and the team that wins the draw will be determined the winner of the soccer game on that day.

Soccer is a competitive sport that is played all over the world. All people need to play soccer is a little time, a group of people and some athletic gear such as a soccer ball and some goals. Soccer is also a social sport because it gives people the chance to interact with each other as they speed down the field. Off the field, soccer players will typically meet for pleasure in a pub or perhaps for a toasty pizza celebration.

Soccer players are very healthy conscious because they spend a great deal of time running. Many soccer players have a strict regimen of exercise and diet in order to maintain their competitive edge during a game of soccer. With eleven players to contend with during any game of soccer, it is best to ensure that every player on the soccer field is at their peak of physical conditioning at all times.

Soccer Fans

Soccer is a well-known sport practiced all over the world. People from kids to adults enjoy having a nice soccer game among them. On special events, such as tournaments and leagues, we are able to see how the soccer matches affect the whole community of soccer fans. However, each fan has its own way of expressing his or her passion for the sport. Among them we can distinguish the forced fan, the regular fan, and also the extreme fan.

First of all we have a very calm fan referred as forced fan. This kind of fan usually meets with his group of friends at a bar or at someone’s house to watch an important soccer match. They enjoy watching a soccer game, but they do it mostly because their friends do so. They watch the game if they do not find anything better to do. Usually as the game goes on, they get distracted and lose track of which team is winning.


Similar to the forced fan, there is also a regular fan. However, this kind of fan enjoys every single minute of the game, whether he watches it at home or goes to the stadium if possible. It wouldn’t matter if his friends cannot go with him; he goes because he wants to. In fact, he may make new friends at the stadium who also enjoys watching the game.

Finally and the most remarkable of fans is the extreme fan. As his name says, this fan takes watching and enjoying the games to another level. At home he does everything he can in order to watch the game with all the commodities possible, including foods and drinks. At the stadium, he cheers loudly for his team and boos on the other team. In some cases a group of friends paint their faces and chests with the color of their team. Another thing this fan may do is to get the football field, meanwhile the game is still going on, just to shake hands with his favorite player and get an autograph. Also, this may or may not have his clothes on when doing this.

Soccer is growing more popular over time, as well as the fans for this sport. Forced, regular, and extreme fans are the most common of all. If you are interested in this sport you may wonder on which of these categories you fit on, but remember that you can always be a fan in your own particular way.
