FootBall

Two teams of eleven players each fight to get a spherical ball into the other team's goal.

The players are not allowed to touch the ball with their arms or shoulders.

Each team has a goal keeper that is allowed to touch the ball with his arms and shoulders when he is standing within the marked area around the home goal, which is called the PenaltyArea (aka the "box").

A match lasts 90 minutes (two halves - 45 minutes each) plus 2-5 minutes of injury time.
