Soccer, also known as football, was a Human sport originating on Earth in England in which two teams of 11 players tried to drive a ball into the others net by using any body part except the arms or hands. The only player who was allowed to touch or move the ball with their arms or hands was the goalkeeper, who protected the net. He or she could only do so within the confines of their own team's penalty area.
