Soccer, the game

I have put up so many posts on Soccer till now. Ever wondered how to play Soccer? This blog post will tell you about it .  Soccer or Football was first played in 1863. It was invented in China by where people were kicking leather balls.  There are 11 players out on the field and the rest are substitutes. There are many types of players on the field. They are: Goalkeepers - The special ability of the goalkeepers are that they can use their hands to save the ball from going inside the goal. It is said the the goalkeepers' job is the toughest. Defenders - They help defend the goal from their opponent. They too have a important job. They don't score goals very often. Midfielders - They are neutral. They help defend the goal and attack to score in the opponent's goal. Forwards - Their job is to score goals in the opponent's goal. They are also mainly needed in the match. They are also known as strikers. These are the four types of players in the Starting 11.
