The most popular sport in the world, '''soccer'''

is a game played between two teams of 11 players (10 outfield players and one goalkeeper each) over two 45 [[minute]] halves separated by a 15 minute break known as half-time. In knockout cup games, if a game is tied after 90 minutes, there is often an additional period of play consisting of 2 X 15-minute halves. If the scores are still level, the result is decided with a penalty shootout. The set of rules used in soccer are called the [[Laws of the Game]].
