American football comes from soccer and rugby. You must carry the ball behind your opponent’s line .The equipment is compulsory because this sport is very dangerous. The player must wear:
· a helmet
· shoulder pads
· protection for teeth
During each game, eleven players of each team are in the field, but in total there are fifty-three players by team. A game lasts one hour.
There exists six ways to score points. The penalties are never individual, they punish all the team and they are reported by one of the seven referees who drop a yellow flag on the floor.

I like American Football, too. Although this sport is brutal and dangerous. Why is American Football played only in America? - I ask because I'd like to play in a football team.
