  Football (soccer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Football is played predominantly with the feet, but players may use any part of their body except their hands and arms to propel the ball; the exceptions to this are the two goalkeepers, who are the only players allowed to handle the ball in the field of play.
Football is played at a professional level all over the world, and millions of people regularly go to a football stadium to follow their favourite team, whilst millions more avidly watch the game on television.
Football is generally a free-flowing game with the ball in play at all times except when it has left the field of play over a boundary line, or play has been stopped by the referee.

 Striker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strikers, also known as centre forwards, forwards, and attackers, are the players on a team in football (soccer) in the row nearest to the opposing team's goal, who are therefore principally responsible for scoring goals.
Coaches usually field one striker who plays over the shoulder of the last defender, and another attacking forward who plays somewhat deeper and assists in making goals as well as scoring.
Because they score more goals than other players, strikers are often among the best-known and most expensive players on their teams.
