 Football (soccer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Football is played predominantly with the feet, but players may use any part of their body except their hands and arms to propel the ball; the exceptions to this are the two goalkeepers, who are the only players allowed to handle the ball in the field of play, albeit with restrictions.
Football is generally a free-flowing game with the ball in play at all times except when it has left the field of play by wholly crossing over a boundary line (either on the ground or in the air), or play has been stopped by the referee.
Football is played at a professional level all over the world, and millions of people regularly go to a football stadium to follow their favourite team, whilst millions more avidly watch the game on television.

 Goal (sport) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In American football, a field goal is achieved when a kicker kicks the ball into the air and it goes between the lines of two posts that are set specially at the end of the playing field for each game.
Although a goal is still scored if the ball bounces first, it must not be touched by hand by either an opponent or a teammate between the kick and the moment it passes over the goal line, nor may it hit a goal post.
Although the goal frame usually has a net attached to it, the net is simply to contain the ball when a goal is scored so that the referee can be certain the goal is legitimate, and the Laws of the Game do not strictly require the use of such a net.

The fake field goal play in which Vinatieri would take the snap and (hopefully) throw the ball to wide receiver Troy Brown had been called.

Vinatieri already had kicked four field goals and one extra point.

From there it would have been roughly a 55-yard field goal attempt for "Automatic" Adam Vinatieri, he of the tying kick through a blizzard and championship-winning boot with the world watching.
Before the game the Patriots had set them at "54-ish" for the south end zone at FedEx Field and "a little shorter" for the north end zone because of a slightly stronger wind gust (at game time, the wind was blowing southwest at 13 miles per hour).
During warmups, based on wind and field conditions ("a nonfactor," Vinatieri said), the kicker and the coaches usually come to an agreement on what's reasonable.

After beating Cambridge when the Falcons could not punch in a two-point conversion with slightly over a minute remaining, the previously undefeated Hawks (6-1) fell to Marshfield, 15-14, last night thanks in large part to a first quarter field goal.
