Soccer begins with two teams of eleven players.  They move onto a rectangular piece of grass where they will try to reach the objective of taking a soccer ball and moving it across the field and into a goal.  The team that has made the most goals at the end wins the game.  When a player gets to the goal line, they will be blocked by a goalie, as well as the soccer ball being taken from opponents on the other team in order to get the ball going in the other direction. 

In the official game of soccer, there are seventeen major rules that must be followed, known as the laws of the game.  These will have flexibility according to the referees and who is playing the game.  This allows the game to remain fair with both teams making the maneuvers that they need to in order to work towards the goal. 

Throughout the centuries, soccer has been an integral part of history.  Through it's early inception, to the later rules that have been maintained, everyone around the world has learned to love the objectives of the game.  All of these bring the players closer to knowing what it means to reach the goal.
