'''Soccer''' is a sport played with a round ball propelled by a player's foot.  It is more commonly known as "'''football'''" outside the [[United States]].  In soccer, players, with several exceptions (as goal keepers), may not touch the ball with their hands or arms.  

The game is played between two teams of 11 players (10 out-field players and one goalkeeper each). In official play, there are 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 two 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]].
