Football (also known as association football or ***) is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players each. It is the most popular code of football and is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world. A ball game, it is played on a rectangular grass field, or occasionally an artificial turf, with a goal at each end of the field. The object of the game is to score by maneuvering the ball into the opposing goal; only the goalkeepers may use their hands or arms to propel the ball in general play. 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 extended time, 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 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (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 twice the audience of the Summer Olympics

历史
Games revolving around the kicking of a ball h***e been played in many countries throughout history. According to FIFA, the "very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise of precisely this skilful technique dating back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. in China."[3] In addition, the Roman games Harpastum may be a distant ancestor of football. Various forms of football were played in medieval Europe, though rules varied greatly by both period and location.
Whilst football has continued to be played in various forms throughout Britain, the English public schools (fee-paying schools) are widely credited with certain key achievements in the creation of modern football (association football and the rugby football games - rugby league and rugby union football). The evidence suggests that during the six***th century English public schools generally, and headmaster Richard Mulcaster in particular, were instrumental in taking football away from its violent "mob" form and turning it into an organised team sport that was beneficial to schoolboys. Therefore, the game became institutionalised, regulated, and part of a larger, more central tradition. Many early descriptions of football and references to it (e.g. poetry) were recorded by people who had studied at these schools, showing they were familiar with the game. Finally, in the 19th century, teachers and former students were the first to write down formal rules of early modern football to enable matches to be played between schools.
The rules of football as they are codified today are effectively based on the mid-19th-century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played at the public schools of England. The first ever set of football rules were written at Eton College in 1815. The Cambridge Rules were a code of football rules, first drawn up at Cambridge University in 1848, which h***e influenced the development of Association football (also known simply as "football", or ***) and subsequent codes.
The Cambridge Rules were written at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1848, at a meeting attended by representatives from Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrew***ury schools, but they were not universally adopted. During the 1850s, many clubs unconnected to schools or universities were formed throughout the English-speaking world to play various forms of football. Some came up with their own distinct codes of rules, most notably the Sheffield Football Club (formed by former pupils from Harrow) in 1857, which led to formation of a Sheffield FA in 1867. In 1862, John Charles Thring of Uppingham School also devised an influential set of rules.[4]
These ongoing efforts contributed to the formation of The Football Association (The FA) in 1863 which first met on the morning of 26 October 1863 at the Freemason's T***ern in Great Queen Street, London.[5] The only school to be represented on this occasion was Charterhouse. The Freemason's T***ern was the setting for five more meetings between October and December, which eventually produced the first comprehensive set of rules. At the final meeting, the first FA treasurer, the representative from Blackheath, withdrew his club from the FA over the removal of two draft rules at the previous meeting, the first which allowed for the running with the ball in hand and the second, obstructing such a run by hacking (kicking an opponent in the shins), tripping and holding. Other English rugby clubs followed this lead and did not join the FA but instead in 1871 formed the Rugby Football Union. The eleven remaining clubs, under the charge of Ebenezer Cobb Morley, went on to ratify the original thir*** laws of the game. The Sheffield FA played by its own rules until the 1870s.
The laws of the game are currently determined by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). The Board was formed in 1886[6] after a meeting in Manchester of The Football Association, the Scottish Football Association, the Football Association of Wales, and the Irish Football Association. The world's oldest football competition is the FA Cup, which was founded by C. W. Alcock and has been contested by English teams since 1872. The first official international football match took place in 1872 between Scotland and England in Glasgow, again at the instigation of C. W. Alcock. England is home to the world's first football league, which was founded in 1888 by Aston Villa director William McGregor.[7] The original format contained 12 clubs from the Midlands and the North of England. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the international football body, was formed in Paris in 1904 and declared that they would adhere to Laws of the Game of the Football Association.[8] The growing popularity of the international game led to the admittance of FIFA representatives to the International Football Association Board in 1913. The board currently consists of four representatives from FIFA and one representative from each of the four British associations.

The various shades of green and red indicate the number of players per 1,000 inhabitants.Today, football is played at a professional level all over the world, and millions of people regularly go to football stadia to follow their f***ourite team,[9] whilst billions more watch the game on television.[10] A very large number of people also play football at an *** level. According to a survey conducted by FIFA and published in the spring of 2001, over 240 million people regularly play football in more than 200 countries in every part of the world.[11] Its simple rules and minimal equipment requirements h***e no dou*** aided its spread and growth in popularity.
In many parts of the world football evokes great passions and plays an important role in the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations; it is therefore often claimed to be the most popular sport in the world. ESPN has spread the claim that the C?te d'Ivoire national football team helped secure a truce to the nation's civil war in 2005. By contrast, however, football is widely considered to be the final proximate cause in the Football War in June 1969 between El Salvador and Honduras. The sport also exacerbated tensions at the beginning of the Yugosl*** wars of the 1990s, when a Red Star Belgrade-at-Dinamo Zagreb match devolved into rioting in March 1990

Laws of the Game
Football is popular among children as well as ***s.
[edit] Overview of the laws
Main article: Laws of the Game
There are seven*** laws in the official Laws of the Game. The same Laws are designed to ***ly to all levels of football, although certain modifications for groups such as juniors, seniors or women are permitted. The laws are often framed in broad terms, which allow flexibility in their ***lication depending on the nature of the game. In addition to the seven*** laws, numerous IFAB decisions and other directives contribute to the regulation of football. The laws can be found on the official FIFA website.[13]
[edit] Players, equipment and officials
See also: Goalkeeper (football), Substitute (football), and Kit (association football)
Each team consists of a maximum of eleven players (excluding substitutes), one of whom must be the goalkeeper. Competition rules may state a minimum number of players required to constitute a team; this is usually seven. Goalkeepers are the only players allowed to play the ball with their hands or arms, but they are only allowed to do so within the penalty area in front of their own goal. Though there are a variety of positions in which the outfield (non-goalkeeper) players are strategically placed by a ***, these positions are not defined or required by the Laws.
The basic equipment players are required to wear includes a shirt, shorts, socks, footwear and adequate shin guards. Players are forbidden to wear or use anything that is dangerous to themselves or another player (including jewellery or watches). The goalkeeper must wear clothing that is easily distinguishable from that worn by the other players and the match officials.
A number of players may be replaced by substitutes during the course of the game. The maximum number of substitutions permitted in most competitive international and domestic league games is three, though the number permitted may be varied in other leagues or in friendly matches. Common reasons for a substitution include injury, tiredness, ineffectiveness, a tactical switch, or as a defensive ploy to use up a little time at the end of a finely poised game. In standard *** matches, a player who has been substituted may not take further part in the match.
A game is officiated by a referee, who has "full authority to enforce the Laws of the Game in connection with the match to which he has been ***ointed" (Law 5), and whose decisions are final. The referee is assisted by two assistant referees. In many high-level games there is also a fourth official (and in the world cup a fifth official), who assist(s) the referee and may replace another official should the need arise.

中文附录:
足球是一项由两队参与的球类运动,每队最多共有10名球员及1名守门员出场比赛。目的是尽量将足球射入对方的球门,每射入一球才得到一分,当比赛完毕后得分最多的一队则代表胜出。足球比赛中除了守门员可以在禁区内利用手部接触足球外,球场上每名球员只可以利用手以外的身体其他部分控制足球(界外球例外)。
历史
有人认为足球是起源于中国,到后来才传到欧洲,也有人认为它是起源于中世纪时英国的一些农村。经专家、学者的考证和国际足联认可,足球最早起源地应是中国,古代中国的蹴鞠(蹋鞠)就是现今足球运动的雏形。这项活动据传可追溯至公元前2679年的“黄帝时代”,但在目前可见的文献里,最早确切可信的文字记载这项运动者,当属《战国策》和司马迁的《史记》,当时它以具有军事性和***性两种面貌的活动而被记录下来。蹴鞠的“蹴”是代表射的意思,而“鞠”是则代表球,其后经过改良令蹴鞠慢慢普及,到了隋唐时代蹴鞠和佛教一起传到了日本,今日韩语及日语中仍可见称足球为蹴球的用法,便是受到中国的影响。
现时足球运动是世界上最受欢迎的体育运动之一。现代足球运动于19世纪中期诞生于英国,最早的职业联赛也在同地开始。此后,足球运动在全球广泛传播,目前,欧洲与南美洲被公认为足球水平最高的两大洲。其中巴西国家足球队是世界男子足球水平最高的国家足球队之一,欧洲的足球联赛也被认为是世界最高水平的足球联赛。
在英语中,随着地域不同,“football”一词有不同意涵。在英国, “football”指的是国际足联认可之“足球”;而美式英语中所称的“football”则是指“美式足球”(American football),亦称“美式橄榄球”;在澳大利亚, "football" 则指澳式足球(Australian Rules Football)。
