4. The Arsenal team has won 16 games, lost 7 games, and tied 7 games. The team is competing in the UEFA Champions League, and as the season is still going on, they haven't participated in any others. In the 2015 UEFA Champions League, Barcelona took home the first place trophy with a win of 3-1 against Juventus. Three important rules of soccer are that there cannot exceed 11 players on the field at one time, the goalie cannot touch the ball with his/her hands if they are outside of the 18-yd box, and when a foul is committed, a free kick can take place that can either be direct or indirect. Three examples of jargon in soccer are offsides, penalty kicks, and a hat trick. Offsides is a foul where a player of one team is past the last defender on another team when the ball is kicked. Penalty kicks are when a player of one team gets to shoot directly at the goal at a specific location and the goalie of the opposite team gets to stand in goal. This occurs when a foul is made inside the 18-yd box or if the two teams are tied when the game ends. A hat trick is when a single player scores three goals in one game. A soccer cliché is "he worked his socks off", and that means a player worked really hard and gave it their all.
An outstanding player on the Arsenal team is Aaron Ramsey, who scored 13 goals in 27 matches. He was born in Caerphilly, South Wales. He attended Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni college. Aaron James Ramsey has played for the Arsenal FC since July 2008. Ramsey hasn't set any specific records (besides a guiness world record), but he was nominated as Arsenal's toughest teammate.
