Amato - Soccer

Soccer is a really famous sport around the world because there are 200 countries that play Soccer. 250 million players play this game in the world. It is a fun way to pass time.

The rules to Soccer are you are not aloud to touch the ball with your hands, you are not allowed to jump at an opponent, you are also not allowed to push the opponent and you're not allowed to spit at an opponent. To play, you need to know all the positions too.

The positions are Center back, Left back, Right back, Midfielders, Left wing, Right wing and Striker. The Striker is my favourite because he gets to score all the goals. A good example of a striker is Lionel Messi he plays in the forwards for Argentina and he scores a lot of goals. You also need to know how to kick the ball.

To kick accurately , you have to use the inside of your foot. The power of the kick depends on the skill level of the receiver. Also you should spread out so that when you get the ball you have lots of room to run around.

250 million people and 200 countries all come together every 4 years for one aim. That aim is to compete in the FIFA World Cup. I hope that you have learnt something from this explanation.
