American football rules

Football, in fact, originated in China during the Song Dynasty. At that time, it was not called football, but Cuju. However, due to the development of the times, our football technology can no longer be ranked in the world. Just like the World Cup that is currently underway, there is no Chinese team. In fact, except for the half-ticket to the Japan-Korea World Cup, our Chinese football team has never been involved in the World Cup.

The football we usually talk about is the football played in the World Cup. But in the eyes of Americans, their American football is not what we are talking about, but refers to their rugby. Below is a detailed explanation of the rules of American football, I believe everyone can understand it.

American football originated from English rugby. After it was introduced to the United States, the rules were changed. It now adopts a round-based system of fighting for the ball between the offensive and defensive lines, has no restrictions on running, and allows the ball to be thrown forward. American football is a highly confrontational contact sport. Because there are often strong physical collisions with opposing players during the game, players need to wear helmets and protective gear when playing.

American football games are played between two teams with a maximum of 53 players (NFL rules). Each team sends 11 players to the game and can replace some or all of the players on the field at any time. The team that has possession of the ball is the offensive team, and their goal is to push the ball as far as possible toward the opposing team's position and try to cross the scoring line into the opposing team's end zone to score. There are two ways to attack: players run forward with the ball (rushing) or throw the ball forward (passing). The goal of the defense is to prevent the opponent from scoring as much as possible and force it to lose possession of the ball. If the attacking team scores or loses possession of the ball, the two teams switch offense and defense, and the game continues in this way until the end of the four quarters.

The above describes the rest of the relevant rules of American football. Some people may not understand it, but this is the culture of a nation or a country, so it is not necessary for us to recognize it. All we have to do is to understand it. If anyone is willing, they can of course try to learn American football by themselves.
