About Football


My favorite game is football. It gives me much pleasure. It is not expensive too. Football thrills not only the players but also the spectators. Football is not a game of our country. It is a foreign game. It came from England. But it is popular all over the world. I think the spectators derive much pleasure from football than any other game.
Football is played in an open large field. The ground is 110 to120 yards long and 70 to 80 yards wide. There are two goal posts at each of the two opposite ends of the field. A bar is tied on the goal posts which is eight feet above from the ground. There are also centre and penalty box. The game is played between two teams. Each team has eleven players. There are a goal keeper, two backs play and five forwards on each side.
