Target lemma: match
Target surface form: matches
Context:
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 goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches. Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international <t>matches</t> for Spain. Xavi Hernandez, the player of Barcelona, has 106 matches.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "player" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about Spanish football players and their international matches, highlighting their experience and achievements in various competitions. The specific sentence mentioning the target word "player" is: "Xavi Hernandez, the player of Barcelona, has 106 matches." This context clearly relates to football or soccer.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

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

Given the context is about football and mentions "Spanish football players," "Barcelona," and "international matches," the most relevant sense is related to participating in a game, specifically football.

The first sense, "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game," directly relates to the context of football, as football players are individuals skilled at the game of football.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "player" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "matches" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about Spanish football players and their international experience, mentioning the number of international "matches" played by certain players. The key sentence is: "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's examine the candidate senses:

1. Lighter consisting of a thin piece of wood or cardboard tipped with combustible chemical; ignites with friction - This refers to a device used for lighting fires, not relevant to the context.
2. A formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete - This is a common definition related to sports, which fits the context of football and international competitions.
3. A burning piece of wood or cardboard - Again, related to fire, not relevant to the context.
4. An exact duplicate - Not relevant to the context of football or competitions.
5. The score needed to win a match - While related to competitions, this is more specific to the outcome or the state of a competition rather than the competition itself.
6. A person regarded as a good matrimonial prospect - Not relevant to the context.
7. A person who is of equal standing with another in a group - Not directly relevant to the context of counting competitions.
8. A pair of people who live together - Not relevant to the context.
9. Something that resembles or harmonizes with - Not relevant to the context.

Given the context is about football and the number of international competitions players have participated in, the most relevant definition is "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete," which corresponds to sense_index 2.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the word "week" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information and the context itself.

The context is discussing a recent event involving the recognition of certain Spanish football players by UEFA. The sentence specifically mentions that "Casillas and Xavi were recognized last week by UEFA...".

1. The first sense (1:28:00) defines "week" as "any period of seven consecutive days." The example given is "it rained for a week." This sense is quite general and can be used in various contexts where a duration of seven consecutive days is referred to. The context here implies a recent past, which aligns with "last week" being a common way to refer to the week immediately preceding the current one.

2. The second sense (1:28:01) refers to "hours or days of work in a calendar week," with "workweek" as a synonym. An example is "they worked a 40-hour week." This sense is more specific to the context of work schedules and doesn't directly fit the context of the sentence, which is about an event (recognition by UEFA) happening in the recent past.

3. The third sense (1:28:02) defines "week" as "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday," with "calendar week" as a synonym. While this could potentially fit the context of referring to a specific week, the context doesn't specify that the week in question starts on Sunday, making it less directly relevant.

Given the context, the use of "last week" is most likely referring to the week immediately before the current one, without specifying the starting day of that week. The first sense (1:28:00) is the most general and fits this usage well, as "last week" is a common idiomatic expression meaning the period of seven consecutive days immediately preceding the current day or the day of writing/speaking.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "week" in this context is the first one.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:

   - **2. someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)**: There's no mention of music or musical instruments in the context, making this sense irrelevant.
   - **3. a theatrical performer**: The context does not relate to theater or performance arts, so this sense is not applicable.
   - **4. a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously**: The passage is entirely about football and does not discuss social or sexual relationships, making this sense irrelevant.
   - **5. an important participant (as in a business deal)**: While this sense could potentially apply in a broad interpretation (as football players can be important in the business of football), the context specifically talks about their role in the game, not in a business deal.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context is clearly about football and the individuals mentioned are football players.
   - Sense 1 directly relates to participating in a game, which aligns with the context of football.

4. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "player" in the given context is the first one, as it directly relates to participating in a game, specifically football.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

It mentions "the Spanish selection," "the Tricolor" (likely referring to a national team with a tricolor flag), and specific players like Iker Casillas, Xavi Hernandez, and Raul Gonzalez.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "games" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about football (soccer) players and their international matches. Specifically, it discusses the number of international matches played by various Spanish players, comparing their records and mentioning upcoming matches.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. A contest with rules to determine a winner.
2. A single play of a sport or other contest.
3. An amusement or pastime.
4. Animal hunted for food or sport.
5. (Tennis) a division of play during which one player serves.
6. (Games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win.
7. The flesh of wild animals that is used for food.
8. A secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal).
9. The game equipment needed in order to play a particular game.
10. Your occupation or line of work.
11. Frivolous or trifling behavior.

The context clearly refers to "international matches" in football. The term "games" here is used to denote the number of international football matches played by the players.

- Sense 1 refers to a contest with rules, which is too broad and doesn't directly relate to a single match or event.
- Sense 2, "a single play of a sport or other contest," directly corresponds to a single match, and its plural form "games" would refer to multiple matches, fitting the context of counting international matches.
- Sense 3, while related to the broader concept of games, leans more towards the recreational aspect, which isn't the primary focus here.
- Senses 4, 7 are unrelated to the context as they pertain to hunting and food.
- Sense 5 is specific to tennis and doesn't apply to the general context of international football matches.
- Sense 6 refers to the score in a game, not the count of games or matches.
- Sense 8 implies a plot or scheme, which is not relevant to the context.
- Sense 9 refers to equipment, not the events themselves.
- Sense 10 refers to an occupation or line of work, not applicable here.
- Sense 11 implies a non-serious or frivolous activity, which doesn't fit the context of competitive international football.

Given the context and the analysis, the most appropriate sense is Sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest," as "games" refers to the count of international football matches played by the players.

The context is about two national football teams, Spain and Costa Rica, and lists the number of international matches played by their players. The sentence containing the target word 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."

Given this context, we're discussing teams or groups within a competition, which involves identifying one of two or more contesting groups.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:
- sense_key=side%1:15:02:: relates to a place within a region relative to a center or reference location.
- sense_key=side%1:14:00:: refers to one of two or more contesting groups.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "matches" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about listing the number of games played by various football players for their respective national teams, Spain and Costa Rica. The text mentions "games," "presences," and "matches" interchangeably when referring to the number of times a player has played.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. lighter consisting of a thin piece of wood or cardboard tipped with combustible chemical; ignites with friction**: This refers to a device used for lighting fires or flames, not relevant to the context of football or games.
   - **2. a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete**: This definition aligns with the context of football, where a match is a competition between two teams.
   - **3. a burning piece of wood or cardboard**: Similar to sense 1, this refers to a source of fire, not relevant to the context.
   - **4. an exact duplicate**: This doesn't fit the context as the text is discussing the number of games played, not finding duplicates.
   - **5. the score needed to win a match**: While related to competitions, this sense is more about the score rather than the event itself.
   - **6. a person regarded as a good matrimonial prospect**: This is unrelated to the context of sports or competitions.
   - **7. a person who is of equal standing with another in a group**: While "match" can imply equality or being a peer, the context is about counting games, not comparing the status of individuals.
   - **8. a pair of people who live together**: This is unrelated to the context.
   - **9. something that resembles or harmonizes with**: Again, unrelated to the context of counting games or competitions.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "matches" refers to instances of competition between football teams.
   - The most relevant definition is **2. a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete**, which directly corresponds to the usage of "matches" in the context.

4. **Indexed Sense**: The definition that matches (pun intended) the usage in the context is the second candidate sense. Thus, the best indexed sense for "matches" in this context is **2**.

Therefore, the JSON response is: {"sense_index": 2}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "side" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing the number of matches played by various football players for their national teams, comparing players from Spain and Costa Rica. The sentence containing the target word 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."

From the context, it's clear that "side" is being used to refer to a team or a group representing a nation in a competition. This usage is related to the concept of groups or teams competing against each other.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A place within a region identified relative to a center or reference location.
2. One of two or more contesting groups.
3. Either the left or right half of a body.
4. A surface forming part of the outside of an object.
5. An extended outer surface of an object.
6. An aspect of something.
7. A line segment forming part of the perimeter of a plane figure.
8. A family line of descent.
9. A lengthwise dressed half of an animal's carcass used for food.
10. An opinion that is held in opposition to another.
11. An elevated geological formation.
12. The spin given to a ball by striking it on one side or releasing it with a sharp twist.

The most relevant sense here is "one of two or more contesting groups" because the context is about national teams (Spain and Costa Rica) competing in football. This matches sense 2: "one of two or more contesting groups."

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "side" in the given context is 2.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "presences" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about football players and the number of matches they have played for their respective national teams. The sentence specifically mentions players who have played more than or less than a certain number of matches, with "presences" being used to denote the number of times a player has been part of a match or team.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **the state of being present; current existence** - This sense is related to the general idea of being present, which could apply to the context of players being part of a team or match.

2. **the immediate proximity of someone or something** - This sense implies a physical or spatial closeness, which doesn't directly relate to the count of matches played.

3. **an invisible spiritual being felt to be nearby** - This sense is more related to a supernatural or spiritual context, which doesn't fit the given context of football.

4. **the impression that something is present** - This sense is about perceiving the presence of something, not directly related to counting or the number of times something happens.

5. **dignified manner or conduct** - This sense refers to the way someone behaves or carries themselves, not related to the count or frequency of an event.

6. **the act of being present** - This sense directly relates to the act or fact of being there or participating, which can be counted.

Given the context, "presences" refers to the number of times a player has participated or been part of their national team, i.e., the count of their appearances or matches played. The most relevant sense here is related to the act or state of being present in the context of counting or tallying such instances.

The best fit is **6. the act of being present**, as it directly relates to the count of instances a player has been part of a match or team.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "presences" in the given context is: {"sense_index": 6}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "rest" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing the number of matches played by various football players for their national teams, listing those who have played more than 30 games and those who have played less than 30 games. The sentence containing the target word is: "The rest doesn't come near the 20."

Here, "the rest" refers to the remaining players not explicitly mentioned in the preceding lists of players with a certain number of appearances. The phrase is indicating that the other players (beyond those listed) have fewer than 20 appearances.

Let's consider the candidate senses:
1. something left after other parts have been taken away - This sense fits the context as "the rest" refers to the remaining players not listed.
2. freedom from activity - This doesn't fit the context as the discussion is about the number of matches played, not about relaxation or leisure.
3. a pause for relaxation - Not relevant to the context of counting matches played.
4. a state of inaction - Not applicable as the context is about the count of players' appearances.
5. euphemisms for death - Clearly not relevant to the context.
6. a support on which things can be put - Not relevant to the discussion about football players.
7. a musical notation indicating a silence - Not applicable to the context.

The sentence context and the examples provided for the first sense ("something left after other parts have been taken away") closely match the usage in the given text. The synonyms (remainder, balance, residual, residue, residuum) and the example ("he threw away the rest") also support this interpretation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "rest" in the given context is the first one.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context discusses the number of matches or appearances certain football players have made for their national teams or in Spain. It mentions specific numbers of "games" played by various players.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "games," which is a plural form of "game." The context clearly refers to instances or events of playing football or other sports.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. a contest with rules to determine a winner**: This is a broad definition that could apply to sports, but it's more general.
   - **2. a single play of a sport or other contest**: This definition directly relates to an instance of playing a sport, which fits the context of counting matches or appearances.
   - **3. an amusement or pastime**: While sports can be considered pastimes, this definition is broader and doesn't directly imply a competitive event.
   - Other definitions relate to hunting, food, specific divisions in tennis, scoring, schemes, equipment, occupation, and frivolous behavior, which are not directly relevant to the context.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context is about counting the number of matches played by football players.
   - The most relevant definition is **2. a single play of a sport or other contest** because it directly corresponds to the idea of a match or an appearance in a sport.

5. **Indexed Sense Selection**: The definition that matches the usage in the context corresponds to sense_key=game%1:04:03::, which is the second candidate sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "games" in the given context is **2**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "goals" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about the number of matches played by certain football players for their national teams and their scoring records. Specifically, it mentions "The leading scorer of Spain is David Villa is, with 50 goals, followed by Fernando Torres with 27." This indicates that "goals" refers to the number of times a player has successfully scored.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "goal" as "the state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve and that (when achieved) terminates behavior intended to achieve it." This doesn't directly relate to scoring in sports.
2. The second sense refers to "the place designated as the end (as of a race or journey)," which is not relevant to the context of scoring.
