⚽️ The Beautiful Game ⚽️

Soccer (or most commonly known as football), is the world's most popular sport, with an estimated 250 million players active in over 200 countries and territories. It is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players who primarily use their feet to propel a ball around a rectangular field called a pitch. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposite team by moving the ball beyond the goal line into a rectangular-framed goal defended by the opposing side. Traditionally, the game has been played over two 45 minute halves, for a total match time of 90 minutes.
