Did you know?  Soccer is a ball game and is played on a rectangular grass field, or occasionally on artificial turf, with a goal at each end of the field. The object of the game is to score by maneuvering the ball into the opposing goal; only the goalkeepers may use their hands or arms to propel the ball in general play. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins.
