Why there are no hands allowed in soccer?

because it is actually called football not soccer. it's the Americans who called it soccer, because they decided to invent their own football, which is more like rugby. And they shouldn't call it football, as they handle the ball (if you can call it that, considering it's not even round) with their hands more than feet. So why not ask the Americans why their version of football is not called a handball or something along these lines? lol

Would football players play with their foot?

Of course if you're referring to the real football that is. Otherwise very very rarely. I sometimes think why did they call their sport "football". Assuming you mean American soccer, players only play with their feet. The only times you aren't kicking the ball is if there is a throw in or you are a goalkeeper, who is allowed to use his hands.
