American football.

1. This American game is enjoyed by a lot of people. It is played in schools, colleges and by professional teams. Unlike basketball and baseball, which are played in other parts of the world, this type of football, until recently, has been specifically American. In this game the players carry or throw the ball much more then they kick it. In the USA they call the game just football.

2. American football originated in the USA, where it remains the most popular sport. It is something like European football and rugby. The very first game was played as far back as in 1869, between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton. Its rules have changed gradually.

3. Now the game is played by two teams of eleven athletes on a field 100 yards (91 m) long from goal line to goal line, by 160 feet (49 m) wide. End zones extend 10 yards (9m) behind each goal line. The field is marked with white lines every 5 yards along its length. The football which the players use has an oval shape and weighs about 450 grammes.

4. In this game the team, which controls the ball, tries to move along the field to the opponent’s goal by running with the ball or passing it. At the same time, the other teams do their best to stop the attacking team and take control of the ball for themselves.

5. A game of American football lasts 60 minutes and is divided into four 15-minute quarters. Points are scored either by carrying the ball over the opponent’s goal line (a touchdown), or by kicking the ball over the goalpost from any part of the field (a field goal). A touchdown gives the team 6 points; a field goal 3 points. The idea is to get more points than the opponent’s team.
