Target lemma: goalkeeper
Target surface form: goalkeeper
Context:
While the Europe and world champions, number one one in the monthly top of FIFA, have a long record of Class A inter selection, the Tricolor has only the defender Michael Umana as the only one who has 50 international games. That number was reached Friday before the game against Panama (0-2), in Rommel Fernandez. Spanish football players playing in the All-Star League and in powerful clubs of the Premier League of England are during the year very active in league and local cup competitions and there are high-level shocks in the European Cups and European Champions League. To this is added the Spanish Fury experience in complicated qualifications for Euro Cup and World Cup. The Ticos players, however, have a limited international experience in an area such as CONCACAF, which is considered the lowest level within FIFA We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex <t>goalkeeper</t> Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches. Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain.

{"sense_index": 1}
```

The context refers to "the goalkeeper Iker Casillas" and "the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta," clearly identifying specific persons who play the goalkeeper position. The sentence is discussing the individual players themselves, not the position abstracted from the person. This matches sense 1, which defines goalkeeper as "the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "goalkeeper" is being used.

The target word "goalkeeper" appears in this sentence:
"We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches."

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

Sense 1: "the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal" - This is the PERSON who plays the position
Synonyms: goalie, goaltender, netkeeper, netminder

Sense 2: "the defensive position on an ice hockey or soccer or lacrosse team who stands in front of the goal and tries to prevent opposing players from scoring" - This is describing the POSITION or ROLE

Looking at the context:
- The sentence refers to "the goalkeeper Iker Casillas" - this is clearly referring to Iker Casillas AS A PERSON who plays the goalkeeper role
- He "equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta" - again referring to the person who was a goalkeeper
- "Casillas will play today against the Tricolor" - referring to the person playing as a goalkeeper

The context is referring to Iker Casillas as "the goalkeeper" - meaning he IS a goalkeeper (a person). This matches Sense 1, which defines goalkeeper as "the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal" - focusing on the PERSON.

Sense 2 would be more about the position/role itself, not the person.

The answer should be sense 1.

The target word "matches" refers to international football competitions/games that Iker Casillas has participated in for Spain. This corresponds to the sense of "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete."

finish_reason: stop

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully to determine the correct sense of "matches" in this sentence:

"We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches."

The context is clearly talking about international football/soccer games that Iker Casillas has played. The phrase "126 international matches" refers to competitive football games that the goalkeeper has participated in for Spain.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=match%1:06:00:: - A lighter (the object to start fire). This doesn't fit.

2. sense_key=match%1:11:00:: - "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete". This clearly fits! International football matches are formal contests.

3. sense_key=match%1:06:02:: - A burning piece of wood. Doesn't fit.

4. sense_key=match%1:06:01:: - An exact duplicate. Doesn't fit.

5. sense_key=match%1:23:00:: - The score needed to win. Doesn't fit.

6. sense_key=match%1:18:01:: - A matrimonial prospect. Doesn't fit.

7. sense_key=match%1:18:00:: - A person of equal standing. Doesn't fit.

8. sense_key=match%1:14:00:: - A pair of people living together. Doesn't fit.

9. sense_key=match%1:09:00:: - Something that resembles or harmonizes. Doesn't fit.

The best answer is sense 2: "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete". This refers to international football matches.
The answer is 2.

The context describes Casillas playing in a specific football match that will occur on a particular calendar day. "Today" refers to "the day that includes the present moment (as opposed to yesterday or tomorrow)," as shown in the sentence "Casillas will play today against the Tricolor." This is a reference to a specific day, not to the broader present age or era.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "today" in the sentence:

"Casillas will play <t>today</t> against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

The two candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=today%1:28:00:: | definition=the present time or age | examples=the world of today; today we have computers
2. sense_key=today%1:28:01:: | definition=the day that includes the present moment (as opposed to yesterday or tomorrow) | examples=Today is beautiful; did you see today's newspaper?

In the context, "Casillas will play today against the Tricolor..." refers to a specific day - the current day when the article is being written or discussing events happening on a particular day. The reference is to the day itself, not to a broader concept of "the present time or age."

The context is discussing a football/soccer game that will happen "today" - referring to a specific calendar day. This is clearly sense 2, which is "the day that includes the present moment (as opposed to yesterday or tomorrow)."

Sense 1 would be more appropriate for phrases like "in today's world" or "today's society" where it refers to the present era or time period, not a specific day.

The answer should be sense 2, which in the indexing system would be index 2 (the second sense).

The context describes Iker Casillas setting a new milestone of 127 international matches for Spain, which is an extreme athletic attainment in sports. This matches sense 6: "an extreme attainment; the best (or worst) performance ever attested (as in a sport)" with the example "he tied the Olympic record."

reasoning_content:
The context is about Iker Casillas, a goalkeeper, reaching a milestone in international matches. The sentence states: "Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

Let me analyze each candidate sense:

1. "anything providing permanent evidence of or information about past events" - This is a very broad definition, like historical records.

2. "sound recording consisting of a disk with a continuous groove" - This is clearly about phonograph records, not relevant.

3. "the number of wins versus losses and ties a team has had" - This is about a team's win-loss record, not relevant here.

4. "the sum of recognized accomplishments" (track record) - This could apply, but it's more about overall accomplishments than a specific outstanding achievement.

5. "a compilation of the known facts regarding something or someone" (record book) - This is about databases of information, not relevant.

6. "an extreme attainment; the best (or worst) performance ever attested (as in a sport)" - This is about breaking/setting a record in sports performance, which fits perfectly. The context is about Casillas imposing a "new record of 127 international matches," which is an extreme attainment in sports.

7. "a document that can serve as legal evidence of a transaction" - This is about legal records, not relevant.

8. "a list of crimes for which an accused person has been previously convicted" (criminal record) - Not relevant.

The best fit is sense 6, which is about "an extreme attainment; the best (or worst) performance ever attested (as in a sport)." This is exactly what is meant in the context - Casillas will set a new record (extreme attainment) for the most international matches played for Spain.

The word "matches" in this context refers to international football games or contests. The passage discusses Casillas' record of 127 international matches for Spain, clearly referring to formal competitive games/contests rather than any other sense of the word. Sense 2 ("a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete") is the only definition that fits the context of international football competitions.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of the word "matches" in this sentence:

"Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

And also: "equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches"

The context is clearly about football/soccer games. The passage discusses international football competitions and records of international appearances/games played by Spanish football players.

The key phrase is "international matches" - this refers to matches/games/contests played in international football.

Now let me look at the candidate senses:

1. A lighter with combustible chemical - clearly not relevant
2. "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete" - This is about sports competitions, games
3. A burning piece of wood - not relevant
4. An exact duplicate - not relevant
5. The score needed to win a match - not relevant in this context
6. A matrimonial prospect - not relevant
7. A person of equal standing - not relevant
8. A pair of people living together - not relevant
9. Something that resembles or harmonizes - not relevant

The context clearly indicates we're talking about football/soccer games or contests. When they say "127 international matches," they mean 127 international games/contests played.

Sense 2 is the correct one: "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete" - This directly matches the usage of "matches" in the context of international football competitions.

**Reasoning:** The context clearly refers to Xavi Hernandez as a football (soccer) player. He is described as a person who participates in and is skilled at the game of football. This matches sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" with the synonym "participant." The surrounding context discusses Spanish football players, international matches, and league competitions, all confirming the sports context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "player" is being used.

The target word is "player" in the phrase "Xavi Hernandez, the player of Barcelona"

Looking at the context:
- The passage is about football (soccer) players
- It discusses Spanish football players
- Mentions specific players like Iker Casillas (goalkeeper), Xavi Hernandez, Raul Gonzalez
- The context is about participation in sports, specifically football/soccer

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=player%1:18:01:: | definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game | synonyms=participant
   - This fits perfectly. Xavi Hernandez is a football player who participates in the game of football.

2. sense_key=player%1:18:02:: | definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession) | synonyms=musician, instrumentalist
   - This doesn't fit. Xavi Hernandez is not a musician.

3. sense_key=player%1:18:00:: | definition=a theatrical performer | synonyms=actor, histrion, thespian, role player
   - This doesn't fit. Xavi Hernandez is not a theatrical performer.

4. sense_key=player%1:18:04:: | definition=a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously
   - This doesn't fit. The context has nothing to do with this sense.

5. sense_key=player%1:18:03:: | definition=an important participant (as in a business deal) | examples=he was a major player in setting up the corporation
   - While this could technically apply to Xavi Hernandez as an important football player, it's more about business/corporate contexts based on the example.

The best fit is sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game"
Xavi Hernandez is clearly being referenced as a football player—someone engaged in the sport itself. The sense index is 1.

The context "Casillas and Xavi were recognized last week by UEFA" uses "week" in its most general sense—referring to a seven-day period that recently occurred. This matches sense 1 (any period of seven consecutive days), as opposed to sense 2 (which specifically refers to working hours) or sense 3 (which specifies a calendar week starting on Sunday). The temporal reference "last week" is a standard usage of the general sense of week.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "week" in this sentence:

"Casillas and Xavi were recognized last <t>week</t> by UEFA together with the other player of the Iberian team, Zubizarreta with 126 matches and Schalke striker Raul Gonzalez with 102."

The context is talking about when Casillas and Xavi were recognized by UEFA. The phrase "last week" refers to the seven-day period that just recently passed before the time of writing.

Let me examine the three senses:

1. sense_key=week%1:28:00:: | definition=any period of seven consecutive days | synonyms=hebdomad | examples=it rained for a week
   - This is the most general sense, referring to any seven consecutive days. "Last week" would fit this interpretation - it's referring to a seven-day period that occurred recently.

2. sense_key=week%1:28:01:: | definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | synonyms=workweek | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
   - This is specifically about working hours/days within a week, which doesn't fit this context at all. There's no mention of work.

3. sense_key=week%1:28:02:: | definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday | synonyms=calendar week
   - This is a specific type of week that starts on Sunday. While this could technically apply, the context doesn't specifically reference Sunday or a calendar week structure.

The most appropriate sense is sense 1, which is the general meaning of "any period of seven consecutive days." The phrase "last week" is a common colloquial expression referring to the seven days that recently passed, without any specific reference to workweek or calendar week starting on Sunday.
The answer should be sense_index: 1

The target word "player" refers to Zubizarreta, a footballer with 126 international matches. The context is clearly about soccer/football players - individuals who participate in and are skilled at the sport. This matches sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully.

The target word "player" appears in this sentence:
"Casillas and Xavi were recognized last week by UEFA together with the other <t>player</t> of the Iberian team, Zubizarreta with 126 matches and Schalke striker Raul Gonzalez with 102."

The context is about football/soccer players. The sentence mentions:
- Iker Casillas (goalkeeper)
- Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona player)
- Andoni Zubizarreta (former goalkeeper)
- Raul Gonzalez (Schalke striker)
- Carles Puyol (has 97 games)

All of these are professional football/soccer players. The "player" in question refers to someone who plays football/soccer - a sport.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - This fits perfectly. Football/soccer is a game, and Zubizarreta (mentioned after "other player") is someone who participates in/is skilled at this game.

2. "someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)" - This doesn't fit. There's no mention of music or instruments.

3. "a theatrical performer" - This doesn't fit. We're talking about sports, not theatre.

4. "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously" - This doesn't fit at all.

5. "an important participant (as in a business deal)" - While football players can be important, this sense is more about business contexts. The primary meaning here is just a person who plays the game.

The best fit is sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - this directly describes someone who plays football/soccer.

The context clearly refers to the Spanish national football team. The passage discusses football players, international matches, and UEFA recognition. Sense 1 ("a cooperative unit (especially in sports)") is the appropriate meaning, as opposed to sense 2 which refers to draft animals. The synonym "squad" also confirms this is the sports usage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "team" in this sentence.

The sentence is: "Casillas and Xavi were recognized last week by UEFA together with the other player of the Iberian <t>team</t>, Zubizarreta with 126 matches and Schalke striker Raul Gonzalez with 102."

The context is clearly about sports - specifically soccer/football. The text is discussing Spanish national football team players and their international matches.

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=team%1:14:00:: | definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports) | synonyms=squad
   - This is explicitly about sports
   - The synonyms include "squad" which is typical of sports teams
   - This fits the context perfectly - we're talking about the Spanish national football team

2. sense_key=team%1:14:01:: | definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something
   - This is about animals (horses, oxen, etc.)
   - This doesn't make sense in the context of discussing football players

The context makes it very clear that we're talking about a sports team - specifically the Spanish national football team. The players mentioned (Casillas, Xavi, Zubizarreta, Raul Gonzalez, Carles Puyol) are all football players being discussed in terms of their international matches.

The correct sense is clearly sense 1, which is "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" with synonyms like "squad".

The word "matches" in this context refers to football/soccer games or formal contests. The passage discusses international football competitions where Casillas played 126 matches, establishing a record. This corresponds to sense 2: "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete," which is the standard sports terminology for competitive games.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "matches" in this sentence.

The context is about football/soccer:
"...Casillas equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches."

And later: "Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

The word "matches" here is referring to competitive football games/contests. The context makes it clear that they're talking about international football competitions.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. **lighter/friction match** - This is about physical objects used for starting fires. Not relevant.

2. **sense_key=match%1:11:00:: - "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete"** - This fits perfectly! In football, a match is a formal contest between two teams. This is the standard term for a game/competition in football/soccer.

3. **burning piece of wood** - This is a type of combustible object. Not relevant.

4. **exact duplicate** - This doesn't fit the context.

5. **score needed to win a match** - This is about the score, not the competition itself.

6. **matrimonial prospect** - Not relevant.

7. **person of equal standing** - Not relevant.

8. **couple living together** - Not relevant.

9. **something that resembles or harmonizes** - Not relevant.

The correct answer is clearly sense 2 (match%1:11:00::) which defines "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete." In football/soccer terminology, a "match" is indeed a game or formal contest between two teams, and the context talks about "126 international matches" which means 126 international games/competitions that Casillas played in.

The context clearly indicates Raul Gonzalez is a Spanish national football (soccer) team player with 102 international matches who played for Schalke. In this football/soccer context, "striker" refers to a forward position player whose primary role is to score goals, which matches sense 1: "a forward on a soccer team."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "striker" for Raul Gonzalez.

The context is discussing Spanish national football (soccer) team players and their international match records. The passage mentions:
- Goalkeeper Iker Casillas
- Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona player)
- Zubizarreta (ex goalkeeper)
- **Raul Gonzalez** described as "Schalke striker" with 102 international matches
- Carles Puyol

Raul Gonzalez is clearly being discussed as a member of the Spanish national football team. In football/soccer context, a "striker" refers to a forward position player whose primary role is to score goals.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "a forward on a soccer team" - This is clearly the right sense. A striker in soccer is a forward.

2. "someone receiving intensive training for a naval technical rating" - Not relevant; this is about military/naval training.

3. "an employee on strike against an employer" - Not relevant; the context is about sports.

4. "someone who hits | hitter" - While this could be a general definition, in the context of "a hard hitter; a fine striker of the ball," it's referring to hitting in sports, but the context specifically identifies Raul as a Schalke player with 102 international matches, making sense 1 more specific and appropriate.

5. "the part of a mechanical device that strikes something" - Not relevant; this is mechanical.

The best answer is sense 1: "a forward on a soccer team" because:
- The context explicitly discusses Spanish national football team players
- Raul Gonzalez is mentioned as a "Schalke striker" (Schalke is a German football club)
- His 102 international appearances for Spain confirm he's a player, not a mechanical part or military trainee. The entire passage centers on football, making the soccer-specific definition the only viable interpretation.

The answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

The context discusses international football matches played by Spanish players, with specific counts mentioned throughout (126, 106, 102, 97, etc.). The phrase "Almost near the centennial number" refers to the quantity of games Carles Puyol has played (97, which is close to 100). Here, "number" refers to a quantity or count of units, matching the definition "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "number" is being used.

The sentence is: "Almost near the centennial <t>number</t> is Carles Puyol, with 97 games."

The context is about international football matches played by Spanish players. The text is discussing how many international matches various players have played. Numbers mentioned include:
- Iker Casillas: 126 (now 127)
- Xavi Hernandez: 106
- Zubizarreta: 126
- Raul Gonzalez: 102
- Carles Puyol: 97
- etc.

The phrase "Almost near the centennial number" refers to the count of international matches - specifically referring to the fact that 97 is close to 100 (centennial = 100).

So "number" here is being used to mean "a quantity" or "a count of individuals or units." This matches sense 1:

sense_key=number%1:07:00:: | definition=the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals | synonyms=figure | examples=he had a number of chores to do; the number of parameters is small

This is clearly referring to the quantity of games (97 games is close to a hundred/centennial).

The answer should be sense index 1.

The word "games" refers to individual international football matches played by Carles Puyol. The context discusses "97 games" as discrete matches within the sport of football, matching sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "games" in the sentence about Carles Puyol.

The context is: "Almost near the centennial number is Carles Puyol, with 97 games."

This is clearly referring to international football/soccer matches. The passage is discussing Spanish football players and their international match records. Carles Puyol has 97 international matches/games for Spain.

Let me check each sense:

11. Frivolous or trifling behavior - Not applicable

The word "games" here refers to individual matches in a sport. Looking at the examples:
- Sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" with example "the game lasted two hours" - This is about a single match/game in a sport
- Sense 1: "a contest with rules to determine a winner" - This is more about the general concept of a game

Given that we're talking about 97 individual international football matches played by Carles Puyol, sense 2 (a single play of a sport or other contest) is the most appropriate. This refers to individual games/matches played in the sport of football.
Sense 2 is the correct answer since it specifically captures individual sporting contests, which aligns with Puyol's 97 international appearances.

Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain. Xavi Hernandez, the player of Barcelona, has 106 matches. Casillas and Xavi were recognized last week by UEFA together with the other player of the Iberian team, Zubizarreta with 126 matches and Schalke striker Raul Gonzalez with 102.

The phrase "On Costa Rican side" refers to the Costa Rican team as one of two contesting groups in the sports context (Spain vs. Costa Rica in an international football match). This matches sense 2's definition "one of two or more contesting groups" with the parallel example "the Confederate side was prepared to attack."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "side" in this sentence:

"On Costa Rican <t>side</t>, and close to Michael Umana, are the left-lateral Junior Diaz, with 48 matches and the striker Bryan Ruiz, with 45."

The context is talking about international football/soccer matches. The passage lists players from Spain (the Iberian team) and their international match records. Then it switches to discussing the Costa Rican team.

"On Costa Rican side" means "on the Costa Rican team" or "for the Costa Rican team/squad". This is referring to the team as one of two contesting groups in sports.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. A place within a region - doesn't fit
2. One of two or more contesting groups - this could fit! "Costa Rican side" = the Costa Rican team/squad
3. Either the left or right half of a body - doesn't fit
4. A surface forming part of the outside of an object - doesn't fit
5. An extended outer surface of an object - doesn't fit
6. An aspect of something - could potentially fit, but less likely
7. A line segment forming part of the perimeter - doesn't fit
8. A family line of descent - doesn't fit
9. A lengthwise dressed half of an animal's carcass - doesn't fit
10. An opinion in an argument or dispute - doesn't fit
11. An elevated geological formation - doesn't fit
12. Sports spin given to a ball - doesn't fit

The best fit is sense 2: "one of two or more contesting groups" with the example "the Confederate side was prepared to attack". This is exactly parallel to "Costa Rican side" meaning the Costa Rican team in this sports context.

The answer should be sense index 2.

The context discusses international football/soccer games played by Spanish players (Casillas, Xavi, Zubizarreta, etc.). "Matches" refers to the formal sporting contests/games they have played for their country, which corresponds to the sense of "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "matches" in this text.

The context is about international football/soccer players and their records. The sentence states: "Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

The text is clearly discussing the number of international games/contests that players have played. They talk about:
- "127 international matches for Spain"
- "106 matches" (Xavi)
- "126 matches" (Zubizarreta)
- "102" (Raul Gonzalez)
- "97 games" (Puyol)
- "91" (Xabi Alonso)
- "90" (Fernando Torres)
- "81" (David Villa and Sergio Ramos)
- etc.

In this context, "matches" clearly refers to formal sports contests/games. This is sense 2: "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete"

Let me verify this isn't any other sense:
1. Lighter - No, not about matchsticks
2. A formal contest - YES, this fits perfectly
3. A burning piece of wood - No
4. An exact duplicate - No
5. The score needed to win a match - No
6. A matrimonial prospect - No
7. A person of equal standing - No
8. A pair of people living together - No
9. Something that harmonizes - No

The answer is sense 2.

The context clearly discusses international soccer matches and national team players. Bryan Ruiz is identified as a Costa Rican player with 45 international matches, positioned alongside other football players in a discussion about their international appearances. "Striker" here refers to a forward position in soccer, which is the primary meaning in this sports context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "striker" here.

The context mentions:
"On Costa Rican side, and close to Michael Umana, are the left-lateral Junior Diaz, with 48 matches and the striker Bryan Ruiz, with 45."

This is clearly in the context of a soccer/football discussion. The passage discusses international matches played by Spanish national team players and then mentions Costa Rican players. Bryan Ruiz is being described in the context of national team matches.

Bryan Ruiz is a real footballer from Costa Rica who plays as a forward/striker position in soccer.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. A forward on a soccer team - This fits perfectly. The context is about soccer players and their international matches.
2. Someone receiving intensive training for a naval technical rating - Not relevant
3. An employee on strike against an employer - Not relevant
4. Someone who hits - Could be related to soccer, but less specific than sense 1
5. The part of a mechanical device that strikes something - Not relevant

The best answer is clearly sense 1, which defines "striker" as "a forward on a soccer team." The context makes it clear we're talking about international soccer/football matches, and Bryan Ruiz is a Costa Rican footballer.

The sense index for sense 1 would be 1 (since it's listed first in the candidates).

The word "games" in this context refers to individual matches or contests in sports (specifically international football/soccer matches). The passage is counting how many international games various players have participated in. This matches sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "games" in this passage.

The passage is about football/soccer players and their match statistics. The context mentions:
- "Xavi Hernandez, the player of Barcelona, has 106 matches"
- "Zubizarreta with 126 matches"
- "Schalke striker Raul Gonzalez with 102"
- "Carles Puyol, with 97 games"
- "Xabi Alonso follows them with 91"
- "Fernando Torres, with 90"
- etc.
- "After this, only five exceeded the 30 games: Keilor Navas with 31, Randall Azofeifa with 32..."

The word "games" here is used interchangeably with "matches" to count individual competitive events in international football/soccer. A "game" in this context refers to a single play or match of a sport - a single contest event.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. A contest with rules to determine a winner - general definition
2. A single play of a sport or other contest (examples: the game lasted two hours) - THIS SEEMS MOST APPROPRIATE
3. An amusement or pastime - not relevant
4. Animal hunted for food - not relevant
5. A division of play in tennis - too specific to tennis
6. The score at a particular point - not relevant
7. The flesh of wild animals - not relevant
8. A secret scheme - not relevant
9. Game equipment - not relevant
10. Your occupation or line of work - not relevant
11. Frivolous or trifling behavior - not relevant

Sense 2 is clearly the best fit: "a single play of a sport or other contest" - this directly matches the usage of "games" as individual international football matches played by players.

Let me analyze the context carefully.

The sentence is: "On Costa Rican side, and close to Michael Umana, are the left-lateral Junior Diaz, with 48 matches and the striker Bryan Ruiz, with 45."

The context is about counting the number of games/competitions played by various football (soccer) players. The text talks about:
- Carles Puyol with 97 games
- Xabi Alonso with 91 games
- Various players with different numbers of games

When it says "Junior Diaz, with 48 matches," it's referring to 48 competitive games or contests that the player has participated in.

Let me review the senses:
1. Lighter/combustible stick - NOT relevant
2. A formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete - THIS FITS
3. A burning piece of wood - NOT relevant
4. An exact duplicate - NOT relevant
5. The score needed to win a match - NOT relevant
6. A person regarded as a good matrimonial prospect - NOT relevant
7. A person who is of equal standing with another - NOT relevant
8. A pair of people who live together - NOT relevant
9. Something that resembles or harmonizes with - NOT relevant

Sense 2 clearly fits: "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete"

In sports contexts, when we say a player has "48 matches," we mean they have played in 48 formal contests/games. This is the standard sports terminology.

The answer is sense 2.

The word "side" in this context refers to "one of two or more contesting groups." The passage compares player statistics between the Costa Rican national team ("Costa Rican side") and the Spanish national team ("national side"), treating them as two opposing groups in international football competition.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "side" in this passage about Spanish and Costa Rican football teams.

The sentence is: "On the national <t>side</t>, with less than 30 presences, there are Roy Miller with 26, Winston Parks with 26, Gabriel Badilla with 25 and Roy Myrie with 23."

Looking at the context:
- The passage is about comparing numbers of matches for Spanish national team players vs Costa Rican national team players
- Earlier it says "On Costa Rican side" - referring to the Costa Rican national team
- Then it says "On the national side" - referring to the national team (context suggests this is Spanish national team)
- The word "side" here is referring to which team/group

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. A place within a region - doesn't fit
2. One of two or more contesting groups - THIS FITS! The passage is comparing the Costa Rican side (team) vs the Spanish national side (team)
3. Either left or right half of body - doesn't fit

Context:
Xabi Alonso follows them with 91, Fernando Torres, with 90, David Villa and Sergio Ramos, both with 81, Andres Iniesta, with 62, Cesc Fabregas, with 61, and David Silva, with 53. On Costa Rican side, and close to Michael Umana, are the left-lateral Junior Diaz, with 48 matches and the striker Bryan Ruiz, with 45. After this, only five exceeded the 30 games: Keilor Navas with 31, Randall Azofeifa with 32, Michael Barrantes with 31, Carlos Hernandez with 36 and Jose Luis Lopez with 35. The least. More than 30 matches in Spain have Gerard Piqué (37), Sergio Busquets (36), Santiago Santi Cazorla (32), Alvaro Arbeloa (31) and Raul Albiol (31). On the national side, with less than 30 <t>presences</t>, there are Roy Miller with 26, Winston Parks with 26, Gabriel Badilla with 25 and Roy Myrie with 23. The rest doesn't come near the 20.

The word "presences" in this context refers to the number of times players appeared or were present in matches for their national teams. The sentence states players had "less than 30 presences," referring to their match appearances/instances of participation. This matches sense 6, "the act of being present," which captures the countable instances of players' participation in national team matches.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to understand what "presences" means in this sentence.

The context is about football/soccer players and the number of matches they have played for their national teams. The text is listing players with different numbers of match appearances.

Looking at the sentence: "On the national side, with less than 30 <t>presences</t>, there are Roy Miller with 26, Winston Parks with 26, Gabriel Badilla with 25 and Roy Myrie with 23."

The numbers next to the players (26, 25, 23) represent the number of matches/appearances they made for their national team.

So "presences" here means "appearances" or "instances of being present" - i.e., the number of times these players appeared/participated in matches.

This is clearly referring to "the state of being present" or more specifically, the number of times someone was present/appeared.

Let me check the senses:
1. "the state of being present; current existence" - This could fit, as it refers to being present/appearing in matches
2. "the immediate proximity of someone or something" - Doesn't fit
3. "an invisible spiritual being" - Doesn't fit
4. "the impression that something is present" - Doesn't fit
5. "dignified manner or conduct" - Doesn't fit
6. "the act of being present" - This seems very fitting, as it refers to the act of being present/appearing

Actually, sense 1 and sense 6 could both fit. Let me think more carefully:
- Sense 1: "the state of being present; current existence"
- Sense 6: "the act of being present"

In this context, "presences" refers to instances/counts of being present. The phrase "less than 30 presences" means "less than 30 appearances/instances of being present."
Since the word is being used as a countable noun to denote individual instances, sense 6 "the act of being present" fits best—it captures how "presences" functions here as discrete, countable occurrences rather than a general state.
