The quaterback is therefore important player of the attacking team, this will pass the ball to receivers or runners to advance.
The defense team will not let his opponent ten yards forward, and seek to recover the ball.

THIS IS, IN MY OPINION, THE BEST GAME EVER, IT WAS FOR THE SUPERBOWL XLII, IT WAS IN 2008.

THE DAYS BEFORE THE GAME, THE BETS WERE FOR THE PATRIOTS BECAUSE THEY CAME TO THE MATCH WITH NO LOSSES IN THE SEASON, AND THE GIANTS WERE ELIMINATE THE ELEPHANTS.

BUT IN THE GAME, IT STARTED WITH A FIELD GOAL OF THE NY GIANTS, 3-0, THEN THE PATRIOTS SCORED A RUNNING TOWCHDOWN, IT WAS 7-3, IN THE 2ND AND 3TH HALF THE BALL WAS FOWARD AND BACKWARD, THE GIANTS LOST THE BALL IN AN INTERSEPTION, THEN, THE PATRIOTS LOSSED THE BALL IN A CONFUSSING PLAY, BUT IT WENT GOOD, IN THE MINUTE 11 OF THE 3TH HALF THE GIANTS SCORED A TOWCHDOWN 10-7.

THEN A TOWCHDOWN FOR THE PATRIOTS. 10-14, AND THE GAME WAS FINISHING, AND HERE COMES THE BEST PART, THE END, THEN THE GIANTS SCORED ANOTHER TOWCHDOWN, 17-14, FOR THE GIANTS, AND THE CHAMPIONS WERE THE GIANTS

SUPER BOWL

It’s an event were the best team of the AFL (American football league) plays against the best team of the NFL (national football league), every year in February since 1966.

This is the most watched event in the USA, with more than 93 viewers in 2007 super bowl were the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS played against the NEW YORK GIANTS, a great match, because the patriots had win the last year super bowl, and the giants were like the “small team” in this match, and at the end the giants came up and wined the match, a great match.


It’s also a big festivity, and it’s, after thanksgiving the most important day in the year.

The days before the match, the big stores rebate the TVs and start like a super bowl fever and the theme of the store its all super bowl.


This can be a two side match, the sport side, and the economic side, because, in the sports side, it isn’t a good game, its very tied and the score is less than 14 points by team. a playoff game its usually better than a super bowl game, the teams are more “relaxed” and they’re more concentrated in the match.


In the other side, the economic side, it’s a business, were the adds can be priced in one million dollars, the tickets are the most expensive in the season and the tourist agents builds a packet.

SOME RULES

Beginner's Guide to Football

The field measures 100 yards long and 53 yards wide.

Games are divided into four 15-minute quarters, separated by a 12-minute break at halftime.

One 11-man team has possession of the football. It is called the offense and it tries to advance the ball down the field-by running with the ball or throwing it - and score points by crossing the goal line and getting into an area called the end zone.

The other team (also with 11 players) is called the defense. It tries to stop the offensive team and make it give up possession of the ball. If the team with the ball does score or is forced to give up possession, the offensive and defensive teams switch roles (the offensive team goes on defense and the defensive team goes on offense). And so on, back and forth, until all four quarters of the game have been played.
In order to make it easier to coordinate the information in this digest, the topics discussed generally follow the order of the rule book.

All progress in a football game is measured in yards. The offensive team tries to get as much "yardage" as it can to try and move closer to the opponent's end zone. Each time the offense gets the ball, it has four downs, or chances, in which to gain 10 yards. If the offensive team successfully moves the ball 10 or more yards, it earns a first down, and another set of four downs. If the offense fails to gain 10 yards, it loses possession of the ball. The defense tries to prevent the offense not only from scoring, but also from gaining the 10 yards needed for a first down. If the offense reaches fourth down, it usually punts the ball (kicks it away). This forces the other team to begin its drive further down the field.

A touchdown is the biggest single score in a football game. It is worth six points, and it allows the scoring team an opportunity to attempt to get an extra point. To score a touchdown, the ball must be carried across the goal line into the end zone, caught in the end zone, or a fumble recovered in the end zone, or an untouched kickoff recovered in the end zone by the kicking team.
