Pre-Production Major Project: Football Research

In this group I am the person that knows the least about football, the rules the outfits and what goes on, so I need to catch up and do my research into football by reading about it and watching some of the films out there, Helen, Danny and Chris have suggested some:

• Goal
• Green street 
• Football factory 
• Bend it like Beckham 
• Longest yard
• Dream team 
• Footballers Wives 

I was advised that some of these are not very good but I can learn from them.

Not only should I watch the films but it would be good to understand the rules of play when it comes to football so I looked into football, I starter on Fifa Association page

On this page it has all the rules about football but its not that easy to understand football like that but by watching matches and the films I should be able to pick it up as I know have a basic understanding from the rules on the website and now watching these films listed above I will be better help in this group knowing I have more knowledge and understanding of the sport.

One thing that I have learned is that I didn't understand free kicks and penalties but the group have explained and we watched a match so I now get the difference, a free kick is when the ball is outside the goalkeepers box and a penalty is inside, also a corner is when the team on the same side as the goalkeepers kicks the ball over the back line but if the opposite ten kick it over the line or the goal then its a goal kick.
