football is played in massive stadium

this is sand zero capacity 80 000 it's

in italy i've been there it's so loud

and noisy and in the night the stadiums

look even incredible

with the light shining on it's amazing

experience now the basic thing is

there's a team a and their goal their

objective is to hit the ball inside this

goal post and the team b their objective

is to hit the ball inside this goal post

as simple as that now we look at the top

view of the same stadium and this is how

it looks like

i'll be explaining the marking later but

basically this is the playing area if

ball is in this area it's good if it

goes outside like it goes outside the

goal line or if it goes outside the

sideline and different things can happen

the clock is running clock so it keeps

on ticking on no matter if someone is

injured if the ball is out if ball is

not in a playing game

it's 90 minute game they play two halves

of 45 minutes each and 11 players on

each side they have three substitution

allowed but the substitution is one way

it's not like basketball you can go out

and come in and go out no once you go

out you're substituted you're not able

to play for rest of the game

there's an injury time added to the

running clocks after 90 minutes based

upon how many injuries happen how many

times uh you know the game was stopped

they add one to eight minutes

approximately

now this is how they start so you can

see a team 11 players another team of 11

players there are four referees

uh over here you see a

bench it's a substitution area so the 11

players play on the ground and there are

other six to seven players sitting on

the bench which can be substituted

during the game but only three can be

substituted here you would see out of

all these 11 players one is dressed

differently same in the other team that

guy is called goalkeeper so everyone

except goalkeeper cannot use their hands

they just need to use their head chest

and legs that's all but the goalkeeper

can use uh hands in a certain part of

the field

this is how typically a match start

everyone of

one team is on site a

another team is side b nobody will be

standing in the circle and this guy

starts by

kicking it off now if i give you a top

view of the field this is how they stand

as i said there's only one guy in the

circle that's why the circle is there

just for the kickoff once the kickoff is

done

then it doesn't matter until a goal is

scored

here i would say this is a goalkeeper

and

goalkeeper can use hands in this area

outside this area goalkeeper cannot use

hands

now these four players are called

defense their job is to protect

opponent from scoring goals

these are called midfielder their job is

to protect the goal as well as move the

ball forward and then these two are

strikers and their job is to score the

goal

now i have written s m and d for striker

midfielders and defense as the game

progress they move across the field this

is how a typical uh in-between game

scenario would look like so strikers are

typically moving in this area defenses

are typically moving in this highlighted

area and midfielder needs to move a lot

carrying ball from defense to offense

this is how a 442 formation looks like

so when they play the match they move

forward and there are four defense for

midfield for two strikers it's a typical

uh formation not a good balance between

offense and defense

the 433 is very attacking there are

three strikers and let's talk about gold

the way in which you can score a goal so

you can hit the ball by your foot smash

it into the net the goal post and you

can score a goal or the second way is

you can direct it by your head and score

a goal now the goalkeeper need to defend

a lot of areas so he's allowed to use

hands but only in the designated area

and get pumped up as well

in order to score a goal the ball should

cross the goal line and there is a goal

decision system which ensures that the

ball is beyond the

line now if you throw the ball outside

the sidelines there's a throw in so if

you tackle the ball outside or if your

player is moving and took the ball

outside so whoever touched the ball last

before it goes out the other team gets

to throw in the ball

if you get the ball outside the

sidelines

if attacking team gets it outside by

just dribbling it or if the attacking

team

just throws the ball outside it then the

goalkeeper get a chance to put the ball

anywhere in the square and kick it into

the game to play it

now if the ball goes beyond the goal

line after hitting the defensive

goalkeeper

here you can see if it would not have

touched the goalkeeper then it would be

goal kick but because it touch it so

it's a corner here the defensive player

took the ball outside the sideline so

it's a corner kick you put the ball in

corner toss it in and try to score a

goal goalkeeper in this case caught it

and he

can toss the ball and kick it into the

game

or he can just drop the ball and kick it

to his players or he can just throw the

ball so goalkeeper got a lot of options

uh

there are false if the defensive player

tackles bad then they get a yellow card

yellow card is a warning here it's a bad

tackle nowhere on the ball so it's a

first yellow card if the player does

that again

look he's not even close to the ball

just damaging the player then it's a

second yellow card which means it's a

red card and he is out of the game they

will have to play with one less player

you don't always get two yellow cards if

your tackle is really bad then you can

directly get the red card like in this

case now he's out of the game he's sent

off

but if your tackle is good you don't get

any card in this case

the defensive player the guy in the red

shirt

he hits the ball he does not hit the

player

here see he hit the ball so he is fine

no card for him it's a good tackle no

problem bad tackle issues now depending

where you do the tackle it can be costly

here he just slapped the opponent

he just slapped it so if you slap or you

do a foul it's you get a free kick foul

anywhere in this area you get a free

kick which means you just place the ball

and the other team

can come in and kick it directly into

the goal it's very dangerous

most of the time if it's close to goal

they score a goal so defensive players

need to be careful here a header and a

goal

there is another fall thing called

penalty kick if anywhere here it's a

free kick if you do a foul in this area

it's penalty kick here the fall is in

the goalkeeper area the big box so it's

a penalty kick that's the direction for

penalty cake and the yellow card because

that's a bad fall

here see there's no no very ball and he

just crashed the deploy so penalty kick

high chances of scoring goals since ball

is close to the goal just goal keeper

and the player

now the another thing is offside

here if you see the guy on the top is a

referee he raised the flag called it

offside why because the attacking player

is beyond the last defensive player when

his partner or his teammate was passing

the ball that's offside uh that doesn't

count if he score a goal doesn't count

you just uh

place the ball there and opponent team

start so here c

the gareth bale a guy is beyond the last

defensive man when his partner is

passing the ball

so it is a clear offside in case when

your player is

good he's not beyond the last defenseman

there's no foul you can continue to play

football is played for 90 minutes if

it's a tie they play for 30 extra

minutes if it's tied again then they go

for penalty shootout which is each team

takes five penalty kicks just goalkeeper

and their player so the first player

comes in kicks the ball and he missed it

it's on the pole so they didn't got a

score of the team come score so they got

a one point

then brazil comes in

second chance they missed it so they got

zero portugal comes in scored a goal

they got two so whoever gets more out of

five shots that team wins

and if it's a tie then they just go for

one more and one more and one more

here it's a

it's a 3-3 last kick by portugal and

they won they won and they celebrate

they celebrate and the team who lose

they are sad like in the sport it's

brutal the team who wins got the glory
