Goal(射门)! Football, or soccer, is one of the world's most popular sports. The game first came from old China, though the modern football game began on the streets of old England. The rule is simple: get the ball in the other team's goal, not using your hands or arms. With simple rules and easy equipment(设备), people can play football anywhere. But the game needs teamwork.
The men's game came into the Olympics at the 1900Paris Games in France. The women's game came into the Olympics at the 1996Atlanta Games in Georgia. At the Olympics, players play for two 45-minute halves, with 11players on each team.
At the Olympics, we make 16men's and 12women's teams into groups of four teams. Each team plays against every other team in their group. The best eight teams in the men's and women's competitions move onto the quarterfinals. In the end the best one will become the winner of the game.
