How does soccer work

Soccer is a team sport that includes a circular ball. It test your brain, footwork and fitness abilities. Soccer is manly based on parks and fields. Soccer works on the following; rules, players in the right possessions and the right gear. 

Soccer needs rules otherwise the game would be a mess. Soccer has two main rule named fouls and handballs. The fouls are when a player either trips up one another or hurts another player. Handball is when touch the ball with your hand and this affects the game. Both of these rules when performed cause a free kick. A free kick is when the ball is placed on the ground and the player can kick the ball to his decision.

The main part of soccer is possessions. There is defense which stay next to the goal to defend the ball going in. As well as striking which shoot the ball into the opponents goal. And also is midfield which are all over the field defending and striking. 

In addition to play soccer you need to have the right gear. The gear you need are soccer boots, shin pads and socks. The soccer boots have metal objects named sprigs which are at the bottom of your shoes that look like spikes to help you grip.  Also you need shin pads that protect your shins from people kicking you.

Most people around the world love soccer and hopefully you love it to.
