The aim of the game is:
Two teams of 11 players
must try to put the ball in their opponent’s goal, while defending their
own. Only one player on each team, the goalkeeper, may touch the ball
with their hands and arms.
The two rules of this sport is:
. The men’s tournament has an age limit of 23
. Teams earn three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a defeat.
I really enjoyed your post, Prudence. Thanks for sharing the information about football with us. I had no idea that there was an age limit for the men's team. When you say that the limit is 23, does that mean that the men have to be older than 23 in order to play on the team or younger than 23? I am assuming that they have to be younger but I'm not entirely sure...

Kia orana, Prudence! You have explained the main rules of football (soccer) really clearly. How many teams will play in the soccer tournaments at the Rio Olympics? I'm really looking forward to watching some of the games from Brazil, especially as the Football Ferns are playing in the women's tournament. Which team do you predict will win the men's tournament?
