The Clever Aspects of Football
Football is noted as a quick and clever sport. The name is derived from the usage of a player’s foot to field a win for their team. Hands on tactics need not apply during the game as the teams center their skill using their kicks, stops and maneuvering the ball mostly with their lower body. When we look at various sports, the three main balls of choice remain Association Football. American Football and Baseball. You can typically tell by their uniform which suit belongs on their respective field. Association Football players wear cool and colorful shorts and shirt with shin guards or pads and appropriate boot style shoes.

Built in North Korea, an Asian country with little football tradition (if any).
