My favourite game is football. I play it every day with my friends. Nowadays, it is a popular game in our country. It is played in every part of our country. It is played in towns as well as villages.
The game is played with a leather ball. Inside the ball, there is a rubber bladder. Air is pumped into the bladder with an air pump. The game is played on level ground. The ground is 100 yards long and 55 yards broad. The ground is divided into two sides. At the end of each side, there is a goal-post
The game is played between two teams. Each team consists of eleven players. There are five forwards, three half-backs, two fu backs, and a goal-keeper on each side. The forwards try to kick the ball into the goal-post of the opposite party, while the backs and the goalkeeper try to save goals. There is a referee to supervise the game. He is helped by two linesmen. The game is played for 90 minutes. There is a break for 10 minutes.
The team that scores more goals than the other wins the game. Sometimes, no goal is scored by either side, or both sides score an equal number of goals. In such cases, the game is said to be 'drawn'.
The game is played according to rules. No player can touch the ball with his hands except the goal-keeper. No player can push or hit any other player. No player can run ahead of the ball on the opposite side.
Football is an interesting game. It makes us active and healthy. It should be played fair. If it is played foul, it becomes uninteresting. Foul play leads to quarrels and injuries.
