Football (ball)

A football is an inflated ball that is often spherical and white with a lot of black dots and is used in the game of the same name. The players of each football team have to score goals with the ball by using any anatomy part of the body, except for the hands. The only exception for that rule is the goalkeeper, who is the only player permitted to use their hands, as this player has to protect the goal. If the ball touches another players hands it counts as a foul and the particular player will be punished. Continuity in touching the ball can sometimes lead to the yellow card and the red card.

Behind the scenes
In the PS1 version of the video game adaption of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Dean Thomas has set up a football challenge as a bonus feature in the game, in which Harry Potter has to kick a ball around to complete it.
