Liverpool FC? Best. Club. Ever.
Soccer, known as football outside North America, is a globally popular sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with a goal at each end.
The objective is to score by getting a spherical ball into the opposing team’s goal using any part of the body except the hands and arms.
Only the goalkeepers can use their hands and only within their penalty area.
The game emphasizes skill, strategy, and teamwork, with players maneuvering the ball through dribbling, passing, and shooting.
Matches are typically 90 minutes long, divided into two 45-minute halves.
Soccer is governed internationally by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), which organizes the World Cup, the sport’s most prestigious tournament.
It is celebrated for its simplicity, accessibility, and ability to bring together people from diverse backgrounds.
