CONTEST!!! - DESCRIBE FOOTBALL TO AN ALIEN FROM OUTER SPACE

Greetings my fellow steemians all over the world I'm very much greatful to be a part of this contest in this great community #worldOfFootball

The topic of the contest reads that, DESCRIBE FOOTBALL TO AN ALIEN FROM OUTER SPACE.

First of all I will like to define what is football.
Football is a game in which two opposing teams of 11 players each defend goals at opposite ends of a field having goal posts at each end, with points being scored chiefly by carrying the ball across the opponent's goal line and by place-kicking or drop-kicking the ball over the crossbar between the opponent's goal posts.

And in the game of football we have what they call passing, The purpose of passing is to keep possession of the ball by manoeuvring it on the ground between different players with the objective of advancing it up the playing field.
This brings an advantage in that the team secures possession of the ball, without allowing the opposition an opportunity to attack.

We have 4 types of passing.

1: SHORT PASSING
A short pass is when a person passes the ball a short distance to another player.

2: LONG PASSING
The aim of a long pass is to switch player or find a teammate in space. A long pass is generally more attacking than a short pass, but this can depend on where you are on the field. If you want to drive your pass, approach the ball at a 30-degree angle so there is room to swing your kicking leg through. Use your arms for balance, position your non-kicking foot close to the side of the ball, and keep your eyes on the ball. If you want to keep the ball low you must keep the knee of your kicking foot over the ball and not lean back as you strike the centre of the ball with your laces, following through. If you want increased power and height, hit the ball near the bottom, lean back further and follow through the ball more. Ideally you do not want the ball to bounce before it reaches a teammate as a bouncing ball is harder to control and can hold up an attack.

3: WALL PASSING
A wall pass is when a player passes the ball to an open teammate and that teammate passes the ball back to him around the defender. This type of pass requires precise timing because if it is executed incorrectly, it can break down an attack.

4: THROUGH PASS
A through-ball is a pass into open space between two defenders for an attacker to receive the ball behind the defenders.
