Football (also called Soccer, especially in other countries) is the most popular sport in the world and is played almost in every country. It’s a team sport with 11 players each side. Players use their legs, heads and almost every part of their body part except their hands, except the goalkeeper. He is allowed to use his hands to prevent the other team to score.

One of the disadvantages in football is sometimes the players get injured really badly, they can get their knees or ankles wrenched. If two players try to head the ball at the same time they can have their head collision to each other. Kicks can also cause some serious fracture, even death too. Trying so hard to kick into the net can be strong enough to knock someone out.
