足球规则英文简介

1. Introduction (概况介绍)

Football, the world's most popular sport, is played with two teams of eleven players each. The game is usually played for 90 minutes, divided into two halves of 45 minutes each. In some cases, there may be extra time (added minutes) for a tiebreaker. This article will provide a detailed explanation of common terms and rules in football.

2. Substitute Players (替补队员)

In a football match, each team is allowed to have three substitute players.

Substitute players are players who can replace the 11 starting players during the game.

Substitutions can be made at any time during the match, but the player being substituted must leave the field before the substitute can enter.

3. Extra Time (加时赛)

Extra time is an additional period played when a match ends in a draw, and a winner must be determined.

Extra time consists of two halves of 15 minutes each.

During extra time, the teams continue to play with the same number of players as in the regular playing time.

4. Throw-in (掷界外球)

A throw-in is awarded when the ball has crossed the sidelines of the field.

The player who performs the throw-in must have both feet on the ground and throw the ball with both hands from behind and over their head.

The throw-in is taken by a player from the team that did not touch the ball last before it went out of bounds.

5. Offside (越位)

Offside is a rule to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage by being in an offside position.

A player is considered offside if they are nearer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last defender when the ball is passed to them.

Being in an offside position is not an offense, but the player becomes offside and penalized if they actively participate in play while in an offside position.

6. Other Common Rules (其他常见规则)

Fouls: Players must not use their hands (except for the goalkeepers within their penalty area), commit reckless challenges, or engage in violent behavior.

Booking: Players can be shown a yellow card for certain offenses as a warning and a red card for more serious offenses, resulting in their dismissal from the game.

Penalty kick: A penalty kick is awarded to the opposing team if a foul is committed inside the defending team's penalty area.

Goal kick: A goal kick is awarded to the defending team when the attacking team plays the ball out of bounds over the defending team's goal line.

Corner kick: A corner kick is awarded to the attacking team when the defending team plays the ball out of bounds over their own goal line.

In conclusion, understanding the rules of football, such as substitute players, extra time, throw-ins, and offside, is essential for both players and referees. Adhering to these rules ensures fair play and contributes to the enjoyment of the game.
