2. Read the texts. Is there any difference between football and soccer?

Football

Football is a field game between two teams, played with an oval-shaped ball.

The quarterback starts by throwing, or passing, the ball to one of the player, called

a receiver. The receiver then tries to run with it toward the goal. The players of the

other team try to tackle him to prevent him from reaching the goal line. The team

with the most points wins.

Soccer

Soccer is a field game between two teams, played with a white round ball. It is a

game in which two 11-member teams try to propel a ball into the opposing team's

goal, using any part of the body except the hands and arms.

Only the goalkeeper when positioned within the penalty area in front of the

goal, is the only one who can touch the ball with his or her hands. The other

players are only allowed to kick the ball or bump in with their heads. The object

of one game is to kick the ball past the goalkeeper into the goal. The team with the

most points, or goals, wins.

The first uniform set of soccer rules was put in place in 1863, when England's

Football Association was created. Professional leagues began appearing in the late

1880s, first in England and then in other countries. The Fédération Internationale

de Football Association (FIFA) was founded in 1904, and has hosted the World

Cup every four years since 1930. Soccer has been included in the Olympic Games

since 1908. Now played on all continents in over 150 nations, with over 40 million

registered players, it is the world's most popular ball game.
