• Welcome

  Welcome to the Mahalo football site, home of late breaking football news. We also provide links to great football websites and articles.

  Football is an America game not to be confused with soccer, which many countries call football.

  A football game is a contest between two teams who field 11 players each, per play. The offense tries to score by crossing the goal line with the ball via pass or running the ball. They have 4 downs to reach 10 yards, and thus get to start over with a new set of downs. The defense tries to prevent the offense from getting a first down, thus forcing them to give up the ball. The defense also tries to make the offense fumble (drop) the ball or throw an intercepted pass.
