Soccer - Futbol

From the bright lights and huge crowds of stadiums amped with action hungry fans to a small handful of close friends getting in the last few minutes before the sun goes down, soccer plays a big part in making life worth living!

I wish that I could tell you everything that is happening in the world of soccer but I honestly have been to busy to keep up with all the excitement. But, whether you are a season ticket holder, or have never seen a game in your life, take a break from the business of life and enjoi today's Top Ten Pictures of Soccer.

Wikipedia says:

Association football, commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players each. It is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world.[1] A ball game, it is played on a rectangular grass field, or occasionally on artificial turf, with a goal at each end of the field. The object of the game is to score by manoeuvring the ball into the opposing goal; only the goalkeepers may use their hands or arms to propel the ball in general play; the rest of the team generally uses their feet to kick the ball into position, though occasionally they may use their torso or head to intercept a ball in mid air. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time and/or a penalty shootout, depending on the format of the competition.
The modern game was codified in England following the formation of the Football Association, whose 1863 Laws of the Game created the foundations for the way the sport is played today. Football is governed internationally by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (International Federation of Association Football), which is commonly known by the acronym FIFA. The most prestigious international football competition is the World Cup, held every four years. This event, the most widely viewed and famous in the world, boasts an audience twice that of the Summer Olympics.[2]
