American football, known in the United States as football, is a sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field 120 yards long by 53.3 yards wide with goalposts at each end. The offense attempts to advance an oval ball down the field by running with or passing it. They must advance it at least ten yards in four downs to receive a new set of four downs and continue the drive; if not, they turn over the ball to the opposing team. Points are scored by advancing the ball into the end zone for a touchdown, kicking the ball through the opponent's goalposts for a field goal or by the defense tackling the ball carrier in the offense's end zone for a safety.
American football evolved from rugby and association football. The first game was played on November 6, 1869. A set of rule changes drawn up from 1880 onward by Walter Camp established the snap, eleven-player teams and downs. Later rule changes legalized the forward pass, created the neutral zone and specified the width of the football.
American football is the most popular sport in the United States and the National Football League's championship game, the Super Bowl, is among the most-watched sporting events in the world.
I know this sport from Eyeshield21 which is manga from Japan but they also play American football, they usually call American football as "amefuto". I like this sport because of the strategic plays from the formations that the team has built. I like the way they run a play with "hut" shouting. I like how they tricked their opponent with their strategy. I like this game. Unfortunately, there is not one like this in Indonesia. There is not even a field to play American football in Indonesia.
