Now before each game is started there a ceremony for both national anthems of the country or the league after there is initially a coin toss to see who gets the ball. After that the ball is then set in the middle and the ball must go forward or pass it in front of the teammate who is aside of you. In order to have a clean and fair game you must follow all the rules, there is a referee on the pitch and there is 1 ref on each touch line to see the off-sides or even a foul that the on pitch ref doesn't see, in big cup games they have refs standing in the goalie line to see if the ball goes in or not. Now that you know what fouls are and how they are called and handled you must know the boundary lines and what happens when the ball is tossed out beyond the touch line, how corners happen and what happens if they get fouled inside or touch the ball with there hand in the goalie box Now that you guys know the basics of rules and regulations ill tell you about the players that have changed the game forever.. Pele, one of the two most famous and synonymous names in football, is arguably the greatest footballer that's ever lived.
Voted as the footballer of the century. As soon as Pele hit the scene for Santos as a 15-year-old, it no longer became acceptable as a forward to wait for chances in and around the penalty area. With never-before-seen dribbling skills, pace and short give-and-go passing ability, as well as a viciously powerful shot and remarkable overall technique. That, along with his unbelievable ability to beat defenders in the air and score headers for fun, made Pele the most prolific goalscorer the world has ever seen.Seventy-seven goals in 92 caps for Brazil and 1281 goals in 1363 games for Santos and the New York Cosmos makes this Brazilian legend a true footballing God. Have you ever wondered why Soccer is one of the most played sports around the world? Hopefully I can help you guys understand why it gained so much popularity... And as people and technology kept advancing so did the game of Soccer.... So here is A map of all the members of FIFA according to the Confederation;

Only the goalies can grab the ball inside there area or when your throwing it in.
Any extra stuff like; Ankle/Knee braces, tape During the game of 90 minutes and just getting 15min of break and going back and forth at each other in the game gets very physical and reckeless but sometimes people like to flop just like in any other sport.
