Football (Soccer)

Two teams try to score by getting the ball into the opposing goal.

Players may use any part of their body except hands and arms; only the goalkeeper may handle the ball, within their own penalty area.

The game is played in two 45-minute halves.

A goal counts when the whole ball crosses the goal line between the posts and under the bar.

The team with more goals at the end wins; ties may go to extra time or penalty kicks depending on competition rules.
