Football (soccer)

Football (soccer)
Association football, commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players, and it is the most popular sport in the world.[1] It is a ball game played on a rectangular grass or artificial turf field, with a goal at each of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by manoeuvring the ball into the opposing goal. In general play, the goalkeeper is the only player allowed to use their hands or arms to propel the ball; the rest of the team usually use their feet to kick the ball into position, occasionally using their torso or head to intercept a ball in mid air.
