What sport is it?
It is considered to be the
most popular sport in the world. It is a team sport played between two
teams of eleven players each with a ball.
The object of the game, which
is played on a wide rectangular field with a goal on each end of
the field, is to score by putting the ball into the adversary goal. The
goal is kept by a goalkeeper who is allowed, at the exception of other
players, to use his/her hands in the game.
The winner is the team that
scores the most goals. If the match ends in a draw, the two teams
may play extra time or penalty shootouts.
