The Rules Of Football

You have to know the football rules before you break them...

Here are a few of FIFA’s law’s behind the beautiful game! (The important ones, of course!)

1)      Matches may be played on natural or artificial surfaces, according to the rules of the competition.  – As opposed to no surface at all.

2)      The colour of artificial surfaces must be green - Aw, so no pink, orange  and purple? That sucks!

3)      The field of play must be rectangular  - There was a problem with putting the goalposts on a circular pitch.

4)      A goal must be placed on the centre of each goal line  - OH, so that’s what should be placed on the goal line. And I thought it was just for decoration!

5)      Goals must be anchored securely to the ground - You know, so goal keepers aren’t allowed to move it around according to their convenience.
