Rules of soccerSoccer is played by one team trying to get to the goal to make a shot to gain points.

The game is usually played with 9-12 people per team, and the team is made up of the defense, goalie, center, and offence. To win a point, you kick or score a goal on the opposite side. if the ball goes out of bounds, the team that did not kick it out gets to throw it back in from the sideline. there is usually one goalie, two or three defensive players, a sweeper (defense), three centerfield players, and two to four offensive players. The starting team's centerfield player kicks off. If the ball is kicked out of bounds on the opposing teams side (shorter sideline running from corner to corner with goal in the middle), then the team who is defending that goal gets a goal kick, when the goalie punts the ball away from his/her goal. If a team kicks the ball out of bounds on their own side, the other team gets a corner kick towards the goal.

You can also tackle. This is not the same as a gridiron football tackle; it means to slide your foot under the person with the ball's foot and steal the ball away. If the opposing person is hurt, then it is a foul and the hurt players team gets a free kick from wherever he was tackled. If one is hurt in his own goal box, that team gets a penalty kick, where one player gets a free kick on the goalie from the goal line.

In professional soccer, a foul is either a red card or a yellow card. A yellow card is for a less serious foul, and it means one warning, but two yellow cards mean that player is disqualified for that half. a red card is an immediate disqualification due to a more serious injury.

To decide who gets the first kick of the game, the team captains go with the referee(s) to the centerfield and a coin is flipped. winner gets kickoff. A proffessional game is ninety minutes long, with 45 minute halftimes. Usually club soccer for teens and below is from thirty to ninety minutes, except professional games can go into overtime if it ends with a tie. or if it ends in a tie you can also have a golden goal, where there are penalty kicks to see which team wins. Or there is also death match, where next goal wins.

And never, EVER, touch the ball with your hands. That is a penalty.

By the way, a punt is a drop-and-kick.

Technically speaking, football is soccer. In Austalia they have a sport called football, and that's why the original football is called soccer (confusing lol). But in most countries, soccer is football.

You can play soccer almost anywhere as long as you have a ball, players and a net. But usually, it is played in a smooth, grass field with boundaries, a metal net and a well made soccer ball.
