Vince Lombardi in the Super Bowl LVII (57°), which will cross the presentation half time of the emblematic Robyn Rihanna Fentybetter known as Rihanna.

The performer of hits like Umbrella, love on the brain, love the way you lie and stay is back after 6 years away from the scene and he does it in a big way, in one of the most important atmospheres in the sports world as is the halftime of the superbowl in its 2023 edition.

The return of the Barbados-born man monopolized much of the front pages, so much so that he came to eclipse, at times, the most important party for the National Football League (NFL). This fact is not an isolated case since in previous editions, the guest artist stole the showSuch were the cases of The weekend oh Eminem in the latest shows Half time.

In this sense, it is very likely that for the Super Bowl LVII Rihanna’s comeback scored high ratings at the public level when she stepped out on the swollen stage that will be set up inside State Farm Stadium in the city of Phoenix, Arizona.

It is for the reason, in GlobeLiveMedia Mexico We’ve set out to compile some of the most important ground rules in American football so that Rihanna fans who want to follow the show from the start won’t feel so far removed from the sporting context that fans will crown. Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles.

An American football match is played between two teams. 11 players in attack and 11 in defense. It takes place on a 100 meter field divided by horizontal lines which give the appearance of gate. The field is made up of 120 yards: 100 to develop plays and 20 to score, 10 on each side and for each team.

American football teams are usually large, each consists of 45 players, but only 11 can be on the field, and it is also divided into offensive, defensive and special teams. The goal is for the former to score points, while the latter avoid the opposing team’s scores.

The match is played with an oval ball, called ovoidwhich used to be thrown in the air with ease.

By regulation, playing time is divided into four periods (pieces) 15 minutes each, divided in half for each half. Clock time counts down; the longest break – when the half time– it occurs between the second and third quarters, where players are given 15 minutes to rest.

In American football, total playing time can last up to 3 hours due to the breaks that are made when a player with the ball leaves the field, there is an incomplete pass, a team requests a time-out (they have three in each half), when the offense changes, a team scores, referee calls for penalty, coach calls for play review (maybe twice per half).

As well as in the two-minute break -which occurs in the second and last quarter of each match-. At the end of each quarter and after the second quarter when there is a 15 minute break.

Each team has four chances or stockings to try to move the ball into the end zone. To keep the ball you have to move forward at least 10 meters, because if you don’t you have to deliver it to the opposing team. Within the American, there are three ways to add to the board:

Landing: The ball must reach the end zone either in the hands of the player running towards the spot or because the ball is caught while inside the zone. This is worth 6 points and then you have the option of scoring an extra point by kicking the ball between the posts or two points with a conversion, which refers to a play.

field goal: Its value is 3 points and it is when the kicker puts the ball between the posts.

Security: It is worth 2 points and is when a defensive player is stopped in his own end zone.

Interception: When the strategist he throws a pass to his receiver, but an opponent manages to intercept the throw without dropping it in the grass. Sometimes the defender who stole the ball can steal the ball and run the other way into the end zone, getting a landing.

Lost ball: A player in possession of the ball can lose it due to negligence or a blow from an opponent, this event is called To grope and the ovoid will be free for any player to take it, if it is taken by a defensive player and it does not touch the grass, it has the option to run in the opposite direction and score for his team.

Quarterback (QB): Passing the ball in team attack plays.

Runners: They receive the ball directly from the QB to make a play and add yards.

Receivers: The fastest and most agile of the team, they capture the passes that the QB throws to get a touchdown or advance yards.

Offensive tacklecenter and guard: They constitute the offensive line, elements of superior weight and height that protect with a “wall” against the opposing defenses.

defensive end: Located at the end, they try to hinder the passes of the rival QB.

Linebacker: Defensive line which measures with the rival offense to intercept, tackle or knock down the rival QB, they seek to cover the gaps through which the runners can pass.

Cornerback: The fastest players who take care of marking the receivers of long passes *Safety: The last men of the defense.

To close this list, the teams promotions they are used for kick off and punt, score a field goal or earn an extra point.
