Watching football

Q: I am a 14 year old boy. I would like to know if it is permissible to watch football (I watch it twice a week) and use Facebook because I heard that on the judgement day I will be asked about what I did as a youth so I would like some advice that would help me prepare.

A: This is not permissible. Pictures of all animate objects are prohibited.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
