Loll 😂😂 samee

4 goes to move the ball forward 10 yards. If you don't, the other side get the ball. Late but that's the essence :)

HAHHAHAHA im from asia

PLSSS

How’s england 😂😂😂😂

Two goals, one for each team with optional lower tier goals that can only be done with kicks. Each team has a general who has guards and he gets information to his people via a thrown flying object or gives the info to his running assistant who then gets ownership of the Guards for about 4 seconds on average. There is a checkpoint you must reach in 4 tries or you go on the defensive end and fend off the other horde. The opponent can steal your information from your hands and even intercept it in mid air. You get to the end zone and you acquire 6 points then you can get 1 or 2 more if you choose.

@@karnliberated8891 this is too much to understand in 1 take. I find AFL (Aussie football) more simple because all it took was 1 intro video to get me into the game.

i don't even know how far 100 yard is, since i always use meter

@@dimz2916 1 yard is about 0.9 meters (0.9144 to be exact)

Legit but this year.

Watching this the day of-

That is the best way to describe it. Too add, It’s a game of chess with human pieces that try to annihilate one another while advancing into the opponent’s territory. It’s almost like a war game.

Hamzah Mohd Borhan right like I need the rules now.

Same, but with the band American football

Hamzah Mohd Borhan very complex game that even most Americans do not fully get. You could honestly do a 30 part series for football

The goal was to explain enough to an observer in the span of 1 minute.

@@lancekarmo7450 30 parts sounds like a stretch. Doubt it's that complicated. But I'm sure there's a lot of technicalities and conditions.

yah

this is the most bare-boned explanation you can find

You must be from other than the usa

@@aaron-fauth Nope, I'm American

Ikrr

I had the same reaction 💀

Think about it more like subbing in soccer. They just get subbed on and off more frequently

@@_________. So in each half or something, there's a defense vs an offense, but then special vs special? and what is special

@@front5838 “special teams “ refers to the groups on the field for these various situations: -punting (offense punts the ball away) -kickoffs (each half starts with a kickoff and a kickoff follows every score) -field goals (kick attempt through uprights for 3) - extra point (basically a short field goal only for 1 point that comes after every touchdown) - and every thing that counters the above scenarios as well. Such as kickoff coverage/return, punt coverage/return, etc. So, in short, special teams is everyone on the field when the “offense” and “defense” aren’t playing. They sort of “specialize” in their own things that don’t pertain to regular offense and defense.

@@rickrandomites technically the team can put any players on the field anytime of the game as long as it’s 11. To answer your last question yes they can do that. It’s actually pretty common for a team to put there runningback or a fast recievers to catch the kicks

lol

Your mom probably knows more about american football than me (I'm European)

Same but preseason

at what age do people start playing football in the states? There's a possiblity im moving there and it seems like a fun and interesting sport to play, but since its so specialized i might not be up to the ability of others

@@lucamagnani5243 Americans play at all different ages if you want a scholarship to a university then play playing as young as 10 years old can really help you become a professional but if you just want to play then you can play whenever if your in elementary,middle or high school they all have football teams you can join for the most part

Basically, whichever team is in control of the ball, they have their offensive team on the field, and are trying to get the ball into the opposing teams end zone, where they score a touchdown for 6 point. Then they bring their special teams (kickers, etc) to try and kick the ball thru the goal posts for an extra poimt (to make a total of 7 points). Trying to stop them on the opposing team is their defensive team. Typically big guys who try to barrel thru and take out the quarterback whos going to be throwing the ball to someone to try to make that touchdown. There are 4 downs, (plays) & You have to move the ball at least 10 yards. If you move the ball 10 yards within those 4 down, your downs reset to 1st down. If u fail to move the ball 10 yards in 4 downs, the ball gets turned over the opponent. But each team has different players. There is the offensive team with the quarterback who basically leads the team. Then there are different players for defense. Usually large guys on thr line, and a few faster runners to keep up with the other teams fast runners. And try to intercept the ball. If the defense catches the ball, then it changes, and the opponents gain control of the ball......and the players switch (offensive & defensive) And special teams are basically the kickers & such who kick the field goals.

Eddie Wu you use your foot to kick only. apart from that there's no footwork. only running

oh. weird.

Because it comes from association football and rugby. Not the footlong bs.

I think id rather go with the 'footlong' thing, makes more sense

The one we know as football is officially known as "Association football". There are many variations of football. Some of them are Association football, Rugby union, Australian rules, Gaelic football, Gridiron football etc. All these comes under "Football" tree.

Happy graduations

You go child!!!!

go you. how is it now 3 years later?

literally rn i'm so clueless lol

​@@keuoi Offensive team: You have 5 opportunities to get to your opponent end zone and score. Defensive team: Stop the offense from scoring on your end zone.

Lol

Same lol

well bad luck. football is only played in america and mexico. maybe canada too, idk.

I hope that with the advent of the internet it will become more popular in the rest of the world. It would be interesting to vary sports in countries with a monopoly on European football (soccer), as is the case here in Brazil.

You think this is complex?

@@jimmerryweather3798 this video is not. This game is

i think thats just the beauty of american football...alot of other sports are much simpler with the rules and how the game is played...i mean if u take basketball its simple...put the ball in the hoop...dont foul the other player...easy...soccer....kick the ball in the net...dont foul the other player...easy...also other sports are alot more fast paced compared to football...and even as a football fan of all my life...i still dont understand every rule in the game...its definitely complex but its hard hitting and full of intense moments...what every person loves

they showing love XD

Fax

4 downs, on fourth down you can punt, kick a field goal or go for it, if you miss the field goal or don't get the first down, the other team gets the ball at that spot, if you have a player with possession of the ball in the endzone you score 6 and need a "field goal" for one point it another td for 2 points starting at either the three or 15

This is literally so easy to understand..

@@Tech-cy9yo It probably has something to do with the fact that I am not invested in sports
