Rules

There are seventeen rules that the players should follow in order to play the game fairly. These rules were formulated by highest governing body of football in the world named FIFA. The game is managed by a referee, who runs within the field along with the players to see whether the game is played with the right spirit. This referee is the one who blows the whistle in order to stop the game (during a foul or when he sees an injury to the head of a player. There are also two other referees on each side of the field to support the referee. These two are essential in order to see whether a player is offside or not. They also have the power to inform the main referee about the fouls committed on field (in case the referee misses).

But at present, in the elite football leagues (all over the world), here are two referees who stays close to the two goalposts on each side of the field, in order to see whether there are any fouls committed by the players within the penalty boxes during the game. Thus, FIFA has tried to make the game flawless so that neither the players nor the supporters could blame the referees against any decision given by them (during the match).

Extra Time

There is a rule which is followed in the football world when two teams fail to score against each other in the ninety minutes (of the match). If the game has to decide which team has to go to the next round, the referee asks the teams to play an extra thirty minutes (fifteen minutes each half). The one who scores the maximum number of goals, wins the match.

Golden goal

If a football match ends with both teams failing to score against each other then there is a rule which has to be followed. This rule states that when a game is restarted (after the normal time and extra time is played), the team who scores the first goal wins the match automatically.

If one wants to watch the game where there is an excitement for the whole ninety minutes, they must watch the game of football. The most thrilling experience one would have when one visits the game on field and watch the game live. Not only its enthralling but also it involves a suspense as it is said in football that one can never expect the game to be over till the final whistle blows.
