Football is a fun game played with a ball and two goals. Players try to kick the ball into the other team's goal. The team with the most goals wins! Sometimes, goalkeepers pretend to be hurt. They do this to make the game stop for a break. But now, there is a new rule to stop this trick. If a goalkeeper asks for a break, another player must leave the field. This way, teams can't get extra breaks unfairly. The new rule will be tested in some games. Everyone wants the game to be fair for all players.
