  between two teams with 11 players on each team.
• Soccer 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 point of the game is to score by driving the
  ball into the opposing goal. In regular play, the
  goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch
  the ball with their hands or arms, while the
  field players use their feet to kick the ball
  into position, occasionally using their torso or
  head to intercept a ball in midair. The team that
  scores the most goals by the end of the match
