Soccer

What is Soccer?
Soccer is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with round ball. The game is played on a rectangular field of grass or green artificial turf, with a goal in the middle of each of the short ends. The purpose of the game is to score driving the ball into the opposing goal. Goal keepers are the only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands or arms whereas the field players typically use their feet to kick the ball into position, sometimes using their torso or head to intercept a ball in midair.
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 extra time and/or a penalty shootout, depending on the format of the competition.
Laws of the Game
The Laws of the Game were originally arranged in England by the Football Association in 1863 and have evolved since then. Association soccer is governed internationally by FIFA, which organizes the FIFA World Cup every four years.
