There are many sports, which are good for our health and popular over the world. Soccer is one of my favorite sports. It is played by two teams consisting of 11 people each team. The general rule is that the ball is kicked by leg and the players get score when having the ball in their goal post. Football is known as “king” among other sports. First, it improves integrity when applying several techniques to create strong power. Second, it not only reduces stress and bad cholesterol of body but also relaxes out spirit after a hard working day. My brother usually plays football every afternoon after work as he is in a local sport club. Moreover, football is not simply one kind of sport, it is an art because of the popularity. Since there is an increasing number of football team over the world such as: Manchester United, Barcelona, Arsenal with professional players. Although I am not able to play well, I love watching football matches as they are interesting and we can also learn from their technique. Furthermore, football is public concern as well as heated debate. Football is now popular through women, who are thought not able to play this kind of sport.

I play a lot of sports such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, but my favorite one is soccer. It quite simple as the twenty two players of both team try to lead the ball into their opponent’s goal. However, there are some other rules that players need to follow in order to have a fair game. There is an offside rule which prevent players from running towards the opposite goal before anybody else. There is one main referee who has full authority to enforce the laws on the players. He has the power to stop the game temporarily to check on the players’ fault, to give a yellow or direct red card or to give a penalty decision. His decision is the final one, and nobody can argue about it even though he also has two or four other assistants. An international standard soccer field need to be 100 to 110 meters in length, and 64 to 75 meters in width. A domestic standard soccer field is a little bit smaller or bigger, which is 90 to 120 meters in length, and 45 to 90 meters in width in provided that it do not become square. A soccer match consists of two half of 45 minutes each, and there is a small break of 15 minutes before both teams entering the second half. If there is no goal in that official time, they need to play for another extra time, which consists of two other 15 - minute periods. If there is still no goal in that time, the players then enter the penalty shootouts. There are five times for each team to score, and the one with the most scores becomes the winner of the whole match. Soccer can be known as the king sport, and people will never stop playing it.
