What is the difference between 7-a-side and Olympic football soccer?
Asked by Wiki User
Sentiment:
While this is true with many sports in the US, it's not the same feeling in many countries overseas. Many players put more into their team, the Olympics is more of a "final piece of the puzzle" and played more for national pride. Many of the worlds top players avoid the Olympics due to it being in off-season times when they are not game fit yet.
The World Cup however is a different story, and like the Olympics it comes 1 time every 4 years. Some teams will allow players to play in the world cup but not necessarily the Olympics (the most recent is Argentina's star player Lionel Messi.
Rules:
There are a few rule differences in the Olympics, such as the new rule for 2008 where each team must use all under-23 aged players, but can have 3 players over-23 to help provide veteran leadership.
AnswerProfesional soccer is when you are selceted to play on a team and you get paid for it. You usually travel in a certain area. The Olympics and world Cup is a soccer players dream.by going to one of these you get to compete at the highest level of play and at the Olympics if you when you get a gold medal. In professional it isn't quite as high of an honor to win.In overtime in pro football are there two overtimes or does it just end after one as a tie?
Asked by Wiki User
Depends on the time of year in which the game is played... regular season games have one overtime period (sudden death, first to score wins) and if at the end of the period (full 15 minutes, each team gets 2 timeouts) the score is still tied, it's over. Tie ball game. Playoff games on the other hand cannot end in ties... they'll continue playing indefinately until someone finally scores. (but the odds of 2 playoff caliber teams not being able to kick a field goal in a 15 minute period to seal a win in OT prevent us from seeing a double overtime game!)
This answer is absolutely right. I'd just add that in postseason, overtime is played just like a brand new game. Therefore, each team gets a full 3 timeouts instead of 2, and there would even be a halftime period if the game was tied after the end of 2 overtimes. No game has ever gone beyond a second overtime, though.

How many are there in soccer?
Asked by Wiki User
There are normally 11 players on a team at the beginning of a match. But there are exceptions. Let's jump around a bit and perhaps learn some things. The Laws of the Game permit a team to enter a match with a minimum of 7 players. If this team cannot produce more players, it can still begin the match. So 7, 8, 9, or 10 players can begin a game. (The other team doesn't have to play "at reduced strength" just because the first team is short of players.) If a team in a match has one of its players sent off (red carded), it must now "play short" and make do with 10 players. Another send-off will reduce that teams numbers yet again. Should the team be at 7 (either from the start of the match or from "attrition" due to red cards, another red card will mandate the termination of the match. (The team that has fewer than 7 players forfeits the match.) There are other "kinds" of soccer (beach soccer, indoor soccer and such) where the teams begin with 5 or 7 or however many players the governing body sponsoring the match designates. Also, short-sided games can be played in competitions where 5 vs. 5 or 7 vs. 7 or another "set" number of players takes to the field. (And the size of the fields is reduced, either a little or a lot.) The objectives and ideas of the sponsors and the cooperation of the players and teams is blended so that "the essence of the game" can be played in a modified format to fit location, players (their age and/or abilities), or anything else. (Imagine a full-sized soccer field laid out on a sandy beach and two teams of 11 going at it. Probably not cool. Different, but probably not cool.) Some "careful" and "respectful" modifications to the game are made all the time. It's about the players and the spirit of the game. How can a sponsoring organization serve them both? Modifications are permitted for this purpose.
