Through ball is a type of pass in soccer which may be played along the ground, or in the air. It essentially means that the ball is played "through", to the other player, i.e they run on to it. It is played "through" the defense, and is hard to cut out. Whoever has the most pace will win the ball.

Brazilians play in the beach. But, mainly in park.

The distance a player runs during the game can vary depending on their position and how active they were. On average they cover about 5 miles in a single game.

At the beginning of the game, there MUST be exactly 11 players on one team, no more, no less, but the least players that can can be on a team is 7, but only on certain terms. A maximum of 4 players can get a red card on a team.

From my understanding, you can't play with less than 9. Three red cards and you're out.

yes soccer is an extremely popular sport in Ireland

The Dynamos have won 2 MLS Cups (2006, 2007).

There is only one extra requirement for a goal keeper's equipment. One player must be the designated goal keeper and they must wear a different color than either team or the opposing goal keeper. There are no requirements in the laws for gloves or long sleeves.

they try to score goals on the opposite goal

It is like most skills we need to learn as we go through life:

Some aspects are easy enough, and we have had previous experience with them.

Other parts of the game can be more difficult for many to learn and execute.

If a player gets hurt during a game of soccer, the ref will blow the whistle if it is due to a foul, but however if it was an off the ball incident he will wait until the ball goes out of play unless it is a suspected head injury. The player who gets hurt may require medical attention, once the medics and physio have been on the player must be taken off the pitch. The player if fit enough has to wait until the referee waves him on. If he is not fit enough the manager will have to take him off and substitute him with another player, however, if they have no substitutions left they must play with a player less.

The correct term would be the "goal area" and it is the smaller of the two areas on each end of the soccer field. The larger is called the "penalty area."

The goal area is 6 yards deep and 18 yards wide.

in football/soccer you do not get points for a goal you only get points if you win/lose/draw a match

Win= 3 points

lose= 0 points

draw= 1 point

if you score it gets added to the goal difference for your team which could decide what place on the league table you are

1) its not really on just kicking the ball and see how far or how high its thrown. I think that its really the practice you have and how good you are at soccer. Because you can spend years of your life practicing soccer but if you just dont like it or not good at it, you can't do anything about it. And if your life its soccer and that is what you only talk about it with your friends, by having little practice you can really become a high soccer star.

2) A ball can go really far but its all in the technique. The most crucial things are when kicking the try to get up under the ball, curve your run like shown. Also, a good angle is abt 45 degrees or somewhere in the middle of 0-90. If your foot hits on top of the ball it will dig into the ground. If you hit it too low it will just go up, but not far.

It's Pantone 300 C; the same as the national flag of Scotland, as the club was founded by Henry Augustus "Gus" Mears, who was of Scottish descent.

Well based on the estimated Population of 34,000,000 in Canada and 2,695,712 (Soccer Canada's Number) people play Soccer in an organized league, that works out to 7.93% of the population.

Ironic since Hockey is considered to be the National sport yet only 570,000 people play organized Hockey (Hockey Canada's Numbers) which makes for a percentage of approx 1.69% of the population.

The central tendency of a soccer ball is rest. Unless force is applied it will just sit there. Please note that this is true of most inanimate objects.

David Beckham is by far the highest paid Football player in the MLS... He earns over $500,000 per week at L.A Galaxy.

Women's is $40,000 and men's was $85,000 a few years ago.

I think the question is a little too vague. There are various levels of professional football in the United States, and the level of pay differs according to each. Many players in MLS, the US's first division, make less than $50,000. Freddy Adu has the largest contract, at a base salary of $300,000 with incentives to guarantee him at least $500,000. But it's hard to say there even exists a median salary, because there are so many different levels.

Its called Offside, or being in an offside position. Being in an offside position, in and of itself, is not a foul. The foul occurs when the ball is PLAYED to the PERSON in an offside position. You can be "passive", not involved in the play, in an offside position and there is no foul.

two halves make a whole... what do you think???

It's when a player makes a basket during the normal play of the game. Dunks, layups, jump shots, & 3 point shots are examples of field goals. A free throw is NOT a field goal because it doesn't occur during the normal play of the game.
It is when you throw the ball into the basket

There can as many players as the team wants but the coach can only select 16 players for a match, 11 on field and 5 on the bench. A team is usually allowed to use a maximum number of substitute of 3 players who sit on the bench.

Rarely is one part of the foot used universally to pass. Most good players use many parts of their boot depending on the requirements of a pass. For instance if you simply wished to play a short, straight pass where the speed or power was tame, then generally you would use your instep, called a side-foot. If you were playing a longer pass you may use the top of your instep or even laces. If you feel a little fancy or can only use one foot, playing the ball with the outside of your boot obviously gives a degree of curl opposite to that of your instep.
