**Analyzing the Meaning of "Games" in the Context of International Football**

Okay, so I'm presented with a statement comparing the number of players who've reached 50 "international games" for Spain versus Costa Rica. My mind immediately starts to parse that term "games." It's obviously referring to football/soccer matches, but let's be precise. Is it the game *type* itself, like the sport of football, or a specific *instance* of play?

I quickly turn to my mental lexicon, drawing on my understanding of how we use "game" in different contexts. My initial instinct is to consider the two relevant senses of "game": the general contest with rules (like "chess is a game") versus a single instance of play (like "the game lasted two hours"). Clearly, the text refers to individual *matches* played, specifically, 50 *matches* in a player's international career.

To confirm my intuition, I consult my internal WordNet knowledge. Looking at the definitions and examples, sense 7, "a single play of a sport or other contest," perfectly aligns. It's not the overall *game* of football, but a specific *instance* of the sport: a match. The phrase "50 international games" is a clear reference to 50 individual matches.

I also double-check by reviewing the definitions in WordNet 3.0. The first definition describes a contest with rules to determine a winner, while the second defines a "single play of a sport or other contest." "International games" is undoubtedly referring to "international matches," which confirms that "a single play of a sport" is the correct interpretation.

So, no ambiguity here! The context clearly points to sense 7: "a single play of a sport or other contest." The phrase "international games" is a direct synonym for "international matches." I'm confident in selecting this as the best and most accurate interpretation.

**Deconstructing the Phrase "On the Side of Costa Rica"**

Okay, so I'm analyzing this comparison between the Spanish and Costa Rican national soccer teams, and this phrase "On the side of Costa Rica" immediately grabs my attention. My initial reaction is to figure out the exact meaning of "side" here, given the context. It's crucial for the correct interpretation.

I'm considering different interpretations. Is it literally "side" as in an aspect, like "on the purchasing side of the business," or is it a specific group in this comparison? I'm thinking about the definition of "side" related to contesting groups. Specifically: "one of two or more contesting groups." "Costa Rica" *is* a contesting group (the team) in this context. And yes, "side" is used interchangeably with "team" in sports, so the meaning is clear.

I'm going through the other possible senses of "side" to make sure I haven't missed anything. My thoughts are racing through the list, eliminating possibilities like "family line," "elevated geological formation," etc. I'm focusing on those closest to the sport context: like a spin, or a line segment. But none of those fit.

Ultimately, "one of two or more contesting groups" is the clearest fit, as the Costa Rican team is a contesting group in a friendly game. This reminds me of other phrasing. "The Confederate side was prepared to attack" - similar structure, and very fitting. The use of "side" as a shorthand for the team representing a particular entity.

I'm also momentarily considering if it means "As for Costa Rica" or "On Costa Rica's part," but I keep returning to the idea of a contesting group. "On the side of Costa Rica" clearly means "On the Costa Rican team/group," which is easily categorized under Sense 10. The wording is precise here: The Costa Rican team is the Costa Rican side. The more I consider the alternatives, the more "contesting group" clicks, because "side" is meant to indicate the team itself. So, in summary, "On the side of Costa Rica" is referring to the team, or the group representing Costa Rica, which is the perfect use of Sense 10. That's the correct interpretation.

**Analyzing the Context of "Players"**

Okay, so the target word is "player," specifically the plural form "players." The context is clearly sports-related. We're talking about a friendly game, international appearances, and a national stadium. So, it's pretty clear that we're dealing with athletes here.

I've got a list of possible senses for "player." Let's see... we've got "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" – that feels like a good fit, especially given the synonyms like "participant." Then there are the other senses – a musician, an actor, sexual partners (definitely not right!), and someone involved in a business deal. The latter two are completely out of the question given the sports context. The musician or actor senses are less relevant, as it is only implied in the prompt that we are talking about a friendly game.

Therefore, considering the sports-specific context, the first candidate, "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game," is by far the most accurate sense here. The rest are irrelevant.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Games" in the Context of Football**

Okay, the target word is "games," and we're looking at it within the framework of international football matches. The sentence mentions "ten passed 50 international games" and "one of 22 called players reached 50 games," along with the phrase "friendly game today". Right away, I recognize that "games" here isn't referring to the *concept* of the sport itself. We're talking about individual *instances* of play.

Given that, I'm thinking about the candidate senses. There's sense 2: "a contest with rules to determine a winner," and then there's sense 4: "a single play of a sport or other contest."

In this sporting context, particularly with football/soccer matches, "games" clearly refers to the individual matches themselves. When we say "50 international games," we mean 50 *instances* of playing, 50 appearances, 50 caps. It's not the overall *concept* of football, but a specific *event*.

So, let's compare: Sense 2, "a contest with rules," is the game as a type of activity, like "football is a game." Sense 4, the "single play of a sport," is the specific event, the *match* itself, like "I watched the game last night." The phrase "50 international games" is, unquestionably, 50 individual plays. Thus, Sense 4 is the appropriate meaning. Therefore, my final determination is that the correct sense index is 4.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Players"**

Okay, so I'm presented with the word "players" in this context. Immediately, I need to pinpoint the correct sense based on the surrounding information. We're talking about a friendly football/soccer match between Spain and Costa Rica, and specifically, "the 22 players called by both countries for the friendly game today... FIFA... international games". Given the subject matter, my initial thoughts jump to the candidate senses. I review my mental list:

1.  "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game"
2.  "a theatrical performer"
3.  "someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)"
4.  "an important participant (as in a business deal)"
5.  "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously"

Clearly, the context explicitly mentions a "friendly game" and "international games" under the authority of "FIFA". Sense 1, "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" fits the bill perfectly. All the other options are nonsensical in this situation. It's a straightforward disambiguation. The "players" are the individuals selected to participate in the football match.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Game" in the Context of a Soccer Match**

Okay, so we're looking at the word "game" in the context of a Spain vs. Costa Rica match, an international friendly, as described by the text. Let's run through the senses to pinpoint the correct one. We've got a list, but the crucial candidates seem to be senses 6 and 8.

Sense 6: "a single play of a sport or other contest," like "the game lasted two hours." This is about the specific instance.
Sense 8: "a contest with rules to determine a winner," as in "you need four people to play this game." This represents the abstract concept of a contest.

Now, the text explicitly mentions a "friendly game today, at 3:05 pm at the National Stadium." That "today" and the specific time screams "instance," a *particular* match. So, the "game" is not the abstract *idea* of soccer, but a single *event*.

Let's refine this further: WordNet distinguishes between 6 (a specific instance: "they played a game yesterday," "the game lasted two hours") and 8 (the *type* of contest, like "baseball is a game"). This is the key. The text uses "the friendly game today," a *specific* match. Therefore, sense 6 is the perfect fit.

We can see the link. "Friendly game" clearly implies a match, which is a single play, a specific instance of competition.

Confirming this logic, Sense 6 is the winner. So, the correct sense key here is game%1:04:03::, which aligns with "a single play of a sport or other contest" illustrated by "the game lasted two hours."

**Analyzing the Use of "Today"**

Okay, so the target is "today," used as a noun, which seems straightforward enough. It's used in the sentence about the friendly game: "...comparing the 22 players called by both countries for the friendly game *today*, at 3:05 pm..." My initial thought is to make sure I am not missing any nuances.

Let's quickly check the candidate senses: we have the "present time or age" and the "day that includes the present moment." The context is critical here. It has to refer to the *specific* day of the game.

Given that it's talking about a game *today* at a specific time, it’s not about some general, abstract "present time or age." The phrase "for the friendly game *today, at 3:05pm*" definitely highlights a particular 24-hour period.

Therefore, "today" here is acting nominally; that should eliminate any potential confusion around adverbial vs nominal function. The context perfectly aligns with sense 2: "the day that includes the present moment." That's the correct interpretation.

**Analyzing the Context of "San Jose"**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "San Jose," and the surrounding text strongly suggests a connection to Costa Rica. I'm seeing "National Stadium," "Ticos," "Costa Rica," and "the Tricolor." This immediately narrows the possibilities down significantly.

Now, my initial candidates are popping into focus: is this the capital and largest city of Costa Rica, or is it that city out west in California? Given the Costa Rican context, the Californian option is highly improbable. Therefore, based on the overwhelmingly strong contextual clues, it's clear we're dealing with the San Jose in Costa Rica.

**Analyzing "Number One" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "number one," and the context is about FIFA rankings and championships. My initial thought is to quickly consider the potential senses of this term, given my expertise in this area. Let's see... I have three candidate senses: the literal "first" in a series, the "highest" in an order or ranking, and a self-referential "me first" meaning.

Now, looking specifically at "number one in the monthly top of FIFA," it's pretty clear that we're talking about a ranking. It wouldn't make sense to be the "first" *element* or be focusing on self-preservation in this context. The phrase "monthly top" immediately directs my attention to the idea of a hierarchy, a leader board.

Therefore, the second sense, the one that defines "number one" as the "first or highest in an ordering or series," is the most fitting definition here. It aligns perfectly with the idea of a team being ranked at the top of the FIFA rankings for a given month. The other senses are easily discarded. So, that's it!

**Deconstructing the Nuances of "Record"**

Okay, so the target word is "record" in the context of football. My initial thought is to consider what specific facet of a player's history or experience is being highlighted. The phrase "long record of Class A inter selection" is key. My mind immediately begins to cycle through possible senses: is it a literal *record* like a document (sense 1, 4)? Or perhaps a compilation of statistics (sense 6, number of wins/losses)? No, that's too specific. Could it be a phonograph *record* (sense 2)? Clearly not. An extreme attainment/best performance (sense 3)? Possibly, but seems unlikely here. A criminal record (sense 8)? Definitely not.

The phrase "long record of Class A inter selection" sounds like a historical accumulation of some kind. Immediately, the concept of a "track record" (sense 5) starts to resonate. My inner expert then checks if the usage aligns with this definition. I'm thinking, "a long history of playing in Class A international selections (caps)". I consider "the lawyer has a good record; the track record shows..." - yes, it fits! I even check the phrase in Spanish, considering "largo historial de..." which also suggests "long record" or "track record."

Digging further, I consider sense 1, "anything providing permanent evidence or information about past events." Maybe that's it? Or perhaps sense 7: "a compilation of the known facts". But "have a long record of" really leans toward the idea of a "track record" – a summation of achievement or past experience. Sense 5.

This is where the lightbulb goes off. We're talking about the sum total of these players' recognized accomplishments (their caps). It's a "long" history of this "Class A inter selection" (international caps). The players have played many matches and this is their long history. I cross-check against other senses, but they don't seem right. The number of games *is* an accomplishment. The player has a long track record / sum of recognized accomplishments. I'm confident in settling on sense 5: "the sum of recognized accomplishments." The number of caps is a tangible representation of these accomplishments. Yes, I'll go with that one.

**Analyzing "Games" in the Context of International Soccer**

Okay, the target word is "games," and we're talking about international soccer matches. The text mentions that a defender has "50 international games" under his belt. Right, so we're definitely *not* talking about the abstract concept of a game itself, like the ruleset or the sport generally. I need to nail down the precise meaning.

I've got two candidates to consider: Candidate 4, which defines "game" as "a single play of a sport or other contest" and Candidate 5 which defines "game" as "a contest with rules to determine a winner." Looking at the example sentences helps here. Candidate 4's example, "the game lasted two hours," is exactly what we mean when we refer to a soccer match. Fifty international *games* clearly refers to playing in fifty *matches*. Candidate 5, while not incorrect in describing soccer as a whole, is not the relevant sense here. It's the overall *thing* of the sport.

Therefore, the only way to make this sentence make sense in this context is to use candidate 4. My choice is clear: "international games" corresponds to the specific *match*, not the general sport.

**Analyzing "Number" in a Sports News Context**

Okay, so I'm diving into this sentence: "That number was reached Friday before the game against Panama (0-2), in Rommel Fernandez." The key is that "number" references "50 international games" from the preceding sentence. The question is, what sense of "number" is at play here?

My initial thought is to consider a few candidate senses. I see the potential for it to be an identification number, a figure representing a sum or total, or even just the concept of a mathematical quantity involving zero and units. It's really about figuring out if "That number" refers to 50 as a mathematical value itself, or as a property of a total or sum (i.e. number of games) .

I'm leaning towards whether it's the "figure," the "property possessed by a sum or total." The text mentions "reached that number" which is "50". "That number" clearly points to the specific quantity of games. My thinking is, if we replace "that number" with "that figure" – "That figure was reached" – it makes perfect sense. This makes the sense 2.

I keep coming back to "figure" versus the mathematical concept of "number" in its abstract form. The total quantity of games, that total is '50'. I see it as more concrete.

Digging further, I considered the hyponyms of the "number" senses in WordNet. Sense 5 deals with cardinal numbers. But that doesn't feel right in this context.

"That number" isn't a *number* in the abstract sense of a mathematical concept, it's the specific *total* of games. So I'm thinking of "figure", "total". I could see this fitting in with the idea of a milestone reached or a record achieved.

I'm double-checking the definition of "number" in Sense 2 – "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity". "Figure" is in the synonyms, and it fits perfectly here as a substitution. "That figure was reached." It feels right: the figure, the total count, of international games hit 50.

So it feels pretty clear to me that sense 2 is the most logical choice. I can eliminate others like a numeral symbol, it makes the most sense as "figure". "That figure was reached" which means, the number of international games played (a total, a sum) had reached the mark of 50.

It's got to be the property of a sum or total. The count. The number of games.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Game" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "game," and the context is a soccer match – "against Panama (0-2)," "Rommel Fernandez," etc. This is pretty straightforward. I need to figure out which sense of "game" applies here. Let's see...

I have a list of candidate senses: occupation, flesh of wild animals, a single play of a sport or other contest, amusement/pastime, the *concept* of a contest with rules, equipment, score, frivolous behavior, a tennis division, scheme, and animal hunted. Obviously, most of those are out.

Given the phrase "the game against Panama (0-2)," it's clearly a specific match or event. Sense 3, "a single play of a sport or other contest," seems like a perfect fit, like "the game lasted two hours." Let me just make sure. I'm going to double-check that against Sense 5, "a contest with rules to determine a winner." Examples for that would be more general, like "you need four people to play this game," something like Monopoly or tennis. The specific phrasing "the game *against* Panama (0-2)" solidifies that this is a specific *instance* of playing a sport, a match. Therefore, Sense 3 is the only reasonable choice. Got it.

Okay, so the target is "league," and it's presented as "League" – capitalized, which is a subtle clue right off the bat. The context is talking about Spanish football players playing in an "All-Star League" and in clubs from the "Premier League of England." Instantly, my expert brain screams "sports!" This is clearly a domain-specific usage, definitely in the realm of football/soccer.

Now, let's consider the possibilities. Candidate 1, that obsolete unit of distance? Nope. The context just doesn't fit a measurement. Candidate 2, an association of states, organizations, or individuals? While potentially *metaphorically* applicable in some contexts, it's a weak fit here, and the sports context is paramount.

That leaves us with Candidate 3: an association of sports teams that organizes matches. Boom. That's the winner. That perfectly describes the "All-Star League" and the "Premier League of England" mentioned. It's concise, accurate, and completely aligned with the context. Case closed.

**Analyzing the Semantic Sense of "Year"**

Okay, so the lemma is "year," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, "year." The context is "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..."

My initial thought is to identify the relevant sense. The candidate senses are:

1.  "the period of time that it takes for a planet... to make a complete revolution around the sun" - Doubtful, given the context.
2.  "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity (e.g. school year)" - This is a possibility. Maybe it's referring to the football season?
3.  "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days (e.g. she is 4 years old; in the year 1920)" - This seems like a strong contender, the standard calendar year.
4.  "a body of students who graduate together" - Clearly irrelevant here.

Now, let's focus on the phrase "during the year." It's tempting to think about the football season, as in, a "football year." But "during the year" usually means "throughout the year". Could it also apply to a calendar year?

Looking at the examples provided for each sense helps. Sense 3, "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days," feels right. The example "in the year 1920" confirms this. So "during the year" used like this in the context, means throughout the 365-day calendar year, not the school/football year.

The phrase "active in league and local cup competitions" supports this interpretation. It suggests activity happening over an extended period. And, yes, they are active during the *calendar year*.

Therefore, I am selecting sense **3**.

**My Analysis of "League" in a Football Context**

Okay, the target word is "league," and we're looking at football (soccer). The phrase is "...very active in league and local cup competitions..." so it's clearly related to competitions. Let's break down the potential meanings.

Candidate 1, a general association of states, organizations, or individuals, is just...wrong. Not applicable here at all.

Candidate 2, an obsolete unit of distance? Nope. The phrase "league and local cup competitions" doesn't lend itself to distance at all. That's a non-starter.

Candidate 3, however, is spot on. An association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members, a kind of conference. Bingo. The context is specifically about football competitions, referencing the "All-Star League" and "Premier League of England," along with "local cup competitions." It's an easy call here, it’s clearly the correct sense. The association of sports teams, the competitive element, the organization of matches – all of it fits perfectly with this third definition.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Competitions"**

Okay, so I'm looking at this text about Spanish footballers in the All-Star League and Premier League, focusing on the word "competitions." My initial thought is that it's talking about the *events* themselves, the tournaments where these players are actively engaged. I'm seeing "cup competitions" mentioned specifically, which immediately steers me towards the sense of an *occasion where a winner is chosen* – a contest or a tournament.

Let me break it down. I have a few candidate senses: rivals (the *contestant*), the *act* of competing, the *event* where a winner is selected (the contest itself), and a business relation. The context of "cup competitions," specifically, really pushes me towards sense three: the actual *contest*. It's a tournament, an event, a "thing" with winners and losers. The synonym "contest" seems spot on. I’m thinking "league and local cup *contests*".

Now, let's double-check, though I'm pretty confident at this point. "The competition" referring to rivals, that's not pluralized in the correct way here, so it's not the first one. "The act of competing" is also plausible but the context "active in... competitions" more closely refers to events. "Business relation" is clearly out. Yup, sense three it is. The phrase "league and local cup contests" confirms my thinking. Therefore, I can confidently identify this sense of competition.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Experience"**

Okay, so the target word is "experience," and thankfully the lemma is the same. The context here is about football qualifiers, specifically referencing the "Spanish Fury experience" and comparing it to the "limited international experience" of another team. My first instinct is to think about what "experience" *means* in this specific setting.

Let's break down the definitions. I see three potential senses, which I'll quickly run through: "an event as apprehended," "the accumulation of knowledge or skill," and "the content of direct observation." In this instance, the "Spanish Fury experience" isn't a singular event like a surprising revelation. I don't think it's the "content of direct observation" either, like a memory. That leaves me with the second sense: *the accumulation of knowledge or skill.*

The way it's used in the text, it's about the Spanish team having a *lot* of time in "complicated qualifications" and the other team having a *lack* of this exposure, so it definitely fits best here. The phrase "limited international experience" is a clear indication that we're talking about an accumulation.

I'm checking that Sense 2, and double checking for clarity. "Spanish Fury experience" is used as an uncountable noun, like "has limited experience" or "has experience in," which is typical for accumulation. With "Spanish Fury experience," we're discussing the *concept* of their gained practice, not a *specific* event.

Therefore, Sense 2 is definitely the most accurate and precise.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Players" in Football**

Okay, so the prompt gives me "players," specifically referring to "Ticos players" in a Costa Rica vs. Spain friendly. My initial thought process is to quickly activate all the potential senses of the word. I need to be precise here. I immediately consider: theatrical performer, social or sexual partners, musician, someone skilled in a game, and then an important participant like in a business context. I know this is important to define accurately, or the whole analysis will fail.

Immediately, the football context clicks it to the game sense. "Ticos players" clearly refers to the football players involved in the match. Sense number 4, "someone who participates in or is skilled at some game," feels like the strongest contender.

Let's do a quick confirmation test. I'm going to revisit that fourth definition: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game." The synonym "participant" is spot on. Yes, that is the meaning we're looking for, in this context! It fits the bill, so, I'm confident in saying that is the correct definition. The analysis is done!

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Experience"**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "experience," and the context is about soccer players – specifically, the Ticos' "limited international experience." My initial thought is to quickly consider the possible senses. We've got three options: the direct observation itself, the accumulation of knowledge or skill, or a single event.

Given the phrase "limited *international* experience," I immediately lean towards the idea of accumulated knowledge and skill gained from past international matches. It's not about one specific event or simply witnessing something; it's about the depth of their background. So, I'm already favoring sense 2, which is defined as "the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities." This feels right in the context, like saying someone is "a man of experience."

I need to confirm, though. Let's see... The text specifically contrasts the Ticos' experience with the Spanish players' extensive track record. This comparison further reinforces the idea of accumulated knowledge over time. It's the *amount* of experience, suggesting this isn't just one event but a breadth of participation. Yup, that solidifies it. Sense 2 it is. I'm going with sense_index = 2.

**My Analysis of "Area" in the CONCACAF Context**

Okay, the target word is "area," and it's being used in the phrase "...in an area such as CONCACAF, which is considered the lowest level within FIFA...". Right off the bat, I know CONCACAF refers to the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football – it's a geographical region for football governance. So, the question is, which sense of "area" best fits this context?

Let's quickly run through the possibilities. First, we've got "a particular environment or walk of life." Then "the extent of a 2-dimensional surface," followed by "a part of an animal," "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary," "a subject of study," and finally "a part of a structure."

Given that CONCACAF is a geographical entity with a specific purpose (football governance), sense 4, "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography)," seems like the strongest contender. The description of it being a region with a special purpose is spot on.

I should also check the synonym options, and the inclusion of "country" as a synonym is quite compelling in this instance, given that CONCACAF is a collection of countries.

What about sense 1, "a particular environment or walk of life"? No, that's not the primary meaning here.

So, sense 4 is definitely appropriate. CONCACAF is literally a geographical zone within the football world.

Let me just confirm this. Considering, "The Ticos players, however, have a limited international experience in an area such as CONCACAF". I'm confident that "area" here means geographical region serving a special purpose, which is the soccer confederation.

Hmm, could it be sense 1? "sphere, domain, orbit, field, arena" – could it be like "in an arena such as CONCACAF"? But no, CONCACAF is an "area" of the world, a "particular geographical region..." This perfectly matches what I already know and is therefore definitely sense 4.

Therefore, the correct sense index is 4.

**Analyzing the Semantic Nuances of "Level"**

Okay, so I'm presented with the word "level" used in the phrase "lowest level within FIFA." My expert brain immediately jumps to the possibilities. The key here is understanding the relative position or value within a structured system.

Candidate 8 (level%1:26:01::), with the definition "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group" and synonyms like "grade" and "tier," initially seems like a solid fit. This aligns perfectly with the idea of CONCACAF, which is regarded as the lowest *tier* or *grade* within FIFA's structure. That structure is like a graded group.

Candidate 3 (level%1:07:00::), "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" (synonyms: degree, grade), initially seems similar. But let's contrast these. Candidate 8 emphasizes the *relative* position within a *group*. Candidate 3 is more about intensity or amount. I need to make sure I am focusing on the key differences.

My thought process continues. "Graded group" is the key. Within FIFA, we have different confederations, or leagues, at different levels. The phrase "lowest level within FIFA" makes me think "lowest tier" or "lowest grade" in sports context. It points to a clear hierarchy.

Thinking about sports competitions and contexts, "tier" is a word used often. But, could Candidate 3 fit? It's about a "position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality". "high level of care" is an example. But the context is the confederation itself and its perceived strength relative to other confederations.

Candidate 8 is, therefore, very fitting. "Relative position" is what it's about. I look at Candidate 2: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process". No. It doesn't work. The synonyms of Candidate 8 ("grade, tier") further confirm it. "Lowest tier" works beautifully. I need to output Candidate 8.

**Analyzing "Peak" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "peak." The context describes Iker Casillas as the "peak of the Spanish selection" due to his 126 international matches, matching a record. My immediate thought is, what *kind* of "peak" are we talking about here? Is it a literal high point, the most experienced member, or something else entirely?

I have these candidate senses: extreme amount, period of prosperity, a V shape, a brim, the highest point, the top of a mountain, or the highest level. Initially, it seems to suggest the highest level of experience or achievement. The sentence implies Casillas *represents* the peak. "Top of the Spanish selection" fits sense 5 (highest point) or 7 (highest level).

Does "peak" refer to the highest amount of matches? Or the ultimate achievement? I wonder if "extremum" (sense 1) applies, but that's usually about maximum or minimum values. I'm leaning toward sense 7, the pinnacle, especially considering the context of experience. Thinking in Spanish, the equivalent might be "el tope" or "la cima". "Top" and "peak" feel right. "The peak... is the goalkeeper..." means he has the maximum.

The language suggests a translation, considering phrases like "inter selection". In this context, "peak" directly relates to the maximum number of matches. Casillas *is* the one who reached the maximum (126 matches). So, is it maximum value (sense 1) or highest point (sense 5) or highest level (sense 7)?

Sense 1 is the most extreme possible amount/value. Is it the vertex, apex, acme in sense 5? Or the pinnacle or summit in sense 7? Sense 5 could be a figurative point, like the person who is at the top. But is there an idiom for "top" as the highest amount? "Peak" as the max amount feels right but sense 7 might be better.

"Peak" translates from Spanish "el tope de la selección española." That means the top! Sense 7: highest level of experience. Sense 5: "highest point (of something)" could be the apex of the team. Is it sense 7?

"Peak of the Spanish selection" – is he the summit/pinnacle? Yes, in terms of matches played. Could "peak" be a point (sense 5) or level (sense 7)? It could be either, maybe?

If "peak" means "maximum," then it could be sense 1. But machine translation often uses "peak" for "tope" or "cima". If Casillas is the highest point, sense 5. If he's the pinnacle, sense 7. If it's about the maximum number of matches, sense 5 seems right.

Checking WordNet, sense 5: point -> highest point -> peak, vertex, apex, acme. Sense 7: degree, level -> highest level -> peak, pinnacle, summit, superlative.

So, a player is the "peak" of a group (structure), the highest point. Or experience is a level, and Casillas is the highest attainable level. I note the contrast: "limited international experience" vs. "peak." This highlights level, which suggests sense 7.

Could it be sense 1? "The maximum of the Spanish selection is Iker Casillas." No, extreme is usually mathematical values. What about sense 5? Or sense 7? Sense 7 seems correct. "Highest point" makes sense, but the other context of "lowest level within FIFA..." The word "level" is here.

I see it now: The sentence before discusses "the lowest level within FIFA," making "peak" directly correspond to "highest level" in the following statement. So, "peak" *has* to be sense 7.

Sense 7 is the best fit. I'm sticking with it. The focus is on the *level* of experience.

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

**My Analysis of "Goalkeeper" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "goalkeeper," and the context mentions Iker Casillas, so I need to figure out the intended meaning. I've got two candidate senses: one describing the player themselves and another referring to the position they play.

Since Iker Casillas is a *person* – a specific soccer player – the first sense is the clear winner. That sense describes *the person*, the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal. This sense aligns perfectly with the mention of a specific individual, Iker Casillas, and his role in the Spanish selection. The other sense, while also relevant to soccer, focuses on the *position* itself, not the person. Therefore, sense 1 is what the author intended.
