There are so many rules that even people who grew up playing and loving the game do not know. There is a reason why there are "laws" of the game in soccer (association football) and that you never hear this term mentioned in American football.

In short, no one I have ever asked this question has been able to answer.

It depends what age group you are in and what type of game you are in like a tournament or just a regular soccer game, so the answer is it really all depends

The Laws of the Game are 17 in number. They can be found clicking on the link below. It will take the user directly to FIFA's (the world's governing body for soccer) English version of the rules. There are minor variations (size of ball, duration of game, etc.) for different age groups, but the basic laws remain the same. Use the link to FIFA's (the world governing body of soccer) current English version of the rules.

The AFL Laws of the game document is 92 pages long with 3 parts, 22 sections and nearly 100 sub-sections. I'm not sure anyone has counted how many actual 'rules' the converts to.

Why is football called football?

Because it's one of the world's many football codes: association football (soccer), rugby football, Gaelic football, Australian rules football, and American/gridiron football. All of them except soccer allow use of the hands in open play. American football began as a kicking-oriented game. It wasn't until the first American colleges to play football met and standardized their rules, based on the English rugby code, that kicking played less of a role in the game. In fact, kicking remained a primary strategy until the forward pass was legalized in the early 20th century.
