In standard football (soccer), a team consists of 11 players: one goalkeeper and ten outfield players, divided into defenders, midfielders, and forwards. The game emphasizes continuous play and goals scored by getting the ball into the opposing team’s net.
In contrast, American football teams are larger, with each team having 11 players on the field per side, but the total roster can include 45 to 50 players due to specialized roles. These roles are divided into three units: offense, defense, and special teams. American football is characterized by strategic plays, stop-and-start gameplay, and scoring through touchdowns, field goals, and safeties.
