The game of football is to score points by running the ball into the opposing team's end zone. The ball can be advanced by running with it or throwing it to a teammate. Teams must get the ball downfield 10 yards in 4 attempts called downs. Points can be scored by carrying the ball over the opponent's goal line, catching a pass thrown over that goal line or by kicking the ball through the opponent's goal posts or tackling an opposing ball carrier in his own end zone.
American football is a sport played by two teams of 11 players. It is played on a field that is 120 yards long and has a goal on both ends. The offensive team has four downs to get the football 10 yards or more at a time. If that goal is not achieved, the offensive team loses possession of the ball and the defensive team becomes the offensive team. Players on the defensive team will attempt to tackle the offensive player with the ball in order to stop advancement of the ball or take possession of the ball. A team can score by making it to the end zone or by kicking a field goal. The team with the highest amount of points after four periods of play wins.

What is older football or soccer?
"if you are talking about AFL football then Afl is older then soccer The first game if soccer was played in 1872, November 30th The first game of football was played in 1858, August 7th" WRONG. The dates are right, officially, but the actual game of Association Football (Soccer) is far older, the OFFICIAL rules were made during this period; and although the first official game of American Football was played "first", American Football is actually a VARIATION of Association Football AND Rugby Football. So how can it be OLDER if it's based on Association Football? Foolish child.
