One of the famous competitive sports in the United States is the American football which is also called as tackle football or gridiron. It is a fantastic game which has the right combination of physical play and strategy and is played between two teams who make points by hitting the ball in the goal post of the opposite team.
The general rule of the game is mostly about the passing of the ball which can be carried around on running or by passing the ball to a teammate. There are several means by which the teams can earn points and the winner of the game is the team which has scored the maximum points in the whole game.
Even though American football is quite similar to the Canadian football, yet both of the games do have marked differences. In America, the different forms of footballs include high school football, college football and professional football, even though each of the games has their own rules. The major form of the professional American football is the National Football League.
However, this sport is quite famous outside America as well and is played in Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Israel, Austria and various nations of the Pacific island. This sport is controlled by the International Federation of American Football over the five continents where the game is played.
