Soccer is a game played on a
rectangular
field
by two teams of 11 players. The players may touch the ball, but not with anything from their
shoulder
s to their
hand
s. Each team has a
goal
they defend, and each team tries to get the ball to go into the other team's goal.
There is one player who is allowed to touch the ball with any part of his body, he is called the
goalie
, and he must stay near his own team's goal.
The word soccer comes from the phrase
association football
, which was what this game was originally called. In most of the world, this game is called
football
, but in the
USA
it is called
soccer
.

The word
soccer
was coined from the term
Association Football
, which was introduced around
1870
for
football
played according to the rules of the
Football Association
(as opposed to
Rugby Football
). The suffix -er was commonly used as a pretty much meaningless addition to nouns in
British
public school and university slang in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Originally in the 1890s,
socker
competed with
soccer
as the proper spelling.
