Topic: Andy Duncan (footballer)


  
  Football (soccer) Encyclopedia Articles @ 216.92.11.26 ()   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Football is generally a free-flowing game, with the ball in play at all times except when it has left the field of play, or when play has been stopped by the referee.
The rules of football as they are codified today are based on mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played at the public schools of England.
In many parts of the world football evokes great passions and plays an important role in the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations; it is therefore often claimed to be the most popular sport in the world.
