In which sport do players kick a ball to score goals?

Soccer is correct because that's the sport where players mostly use their feet to kick a ball down the field and try to score by getting it into the opposing team's goal.

Chess is a quiet board game with no ball or goals, and swimming involves racing through water rather than kicking a ball, so neither matches this description of kicking a ball to score.

Most of the world actually calls this sport 'football' instead of soccer, since players use their feet the whole game — only the goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball with their hands.
