Popular Sports

     Nowadays, more and more people choose a healthy lifestyle, instead of a passive lifestyle/sedentary lifestyle. As far as you know, football and swimming are quite popular sports among children. Let me introduce them.
     First and foremost, let’s talk about football. In this game, two teams of eleven people play against each other. The game lasts 90 minutes. There are two halves with a short break between them. The game starts with a kick-off. In each team, there is a goalkeeper whose task is to save the ball. In addition, there are defenders, midfielders and strikers. The aim is to kick the ball into the goal. No one is allowed to touch the ball with his hand except the goalkeeper. There are fouls committed by the players. The referee can notice the players according to the brutality of the fouls. If I were in your shoes, I would be careful because you might get a red card which means you have to leave the pitch. The referee can give free kicks and penalties, too.
     Football was first played in England. It has become one of the most popular games in the world since then. Stadiums usually filled to capacity. It’s very hard to get into these matches like the Premier League, Champions League or the Bundesliga. These tickets are very expensive.
     Secondly, swimming is also a popular sport. All the generation swim all over the country. Recreational swimming is advised for everybody, especially for pensioners. There are four main styles of swimming: breaststroke, freestyle, backstroke and butterfly. The swimming in the Olympic Games is watched by millions of fans all over the world.
