Over 250 million people play association football or soccer.
wow what exactly is association football?
Association football is just another name for Soccer, the game with a goal at either end of the field.
Oh ok.  I don't know alot about soccer.  Do you play?
I used to, but I was not so good with my feet on striking.
You mean striking the ball to make a goal?
Yes.    The two main plays are striking toward the goal and passing.
So when you pass..do you always do that with your feet or can you use your hands?
You can use any part of the body except hands and arms.
I have seen them use their hands when they throw the ball into the field.  Is that the only time they are allowed to use their hands?
