Football (English association football or simply football) is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players each and a referee who takes care of the correct application of standards. It is considered the most popular sport in the world, since around 270 million people participate in their various competitions. It is played on a rectangular grass field, with a goal in each side of the field. The goal is to move a ball across the field to put it into the opponent goal, an action that is called goal (European Portuguese) or goal (Brazilian Portuguese). The team that scores the most goals at the end of the game is the winner.
