An estimated 250 millions people play soccer across 20 countries. Thus there is little doubt that soccer is one of the most popular sports on planet earth. Soccer is all about building the team spirit amongst its players and a healthy competitive spirit amongst different teams.
Essentially the game is played between 2 teams on a grass laid rectangular field. These days artificial turf is also used to get an even finish to the ground The aim of the game for a team is to score the highest number of goals possible against the opponent team and who ever does score the highest is declared the winner. The goals are scored by driving the ball into the goal post of the opposing team and mind you this should be done using the feet only and may be the torso and the head but never with the hands. There are 11 players in each team. The ball they play with is spherical in shape.
