"Football
(also known as association football or soccer) is a
team sport played between
two teams of 11 players each. It is widely considered to be the most
popular sport in the world. A ball game, it is played on a rectangular
grass field, or occasionally on
artificial turf, with a
goal at each end of the
field. The object of the game is to score by maneuvering the ball into the
opposing goal; only the
goalkeepers may use their
hands or arms to propel the ball in general play. The team that scores the
most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end
of the game, either a
draw is
declared or the game goes into extended time, depending on the format of
the competition" Source:
