Soccer Update

When people like soccer, they do two things: play it and watch it. The other day, my brother and father were going to watch a soccer game of two teams from Argentina. As the game was going to start, there was a big introduction about what the game was going to be like. I was bored of hearing the teams’ players so I went away. As I was in my computer, I heard a big scream of excitement. A goal had been scored and the stadium looked amazing. It was huge and filled completely by bobbing heads with uniformed shirts. Since one of the teams had the same shirt as most of the audience, I assumed they were fans. In the background, a loud and constant roar of millions of people filled the stadium and the echo of the word “gol” lingered in the sound. Gol means goal in Spanish. My brother was excited and had a big smile from ear to ear as my father had a disappointed look. Apparently, they were supporting different teams. In the screen, the goal was being repeated and it was amazing. Two players took the ball from the half of the field and passed it back and forth. They got to the goal and one of the players centered it to another right in front of the goal. The player in front headed it and another player kicked it in. They had the goalie fooled and they made an excellent example of teamwork. When you see soccer games, you can notice different techniques and styles for managing the ball. Some players just run with the ball as fast as they can and try to score but their technique is not very effective. Other players learn to pass the ball and fool the opposing players providing them more effectiveness. I’ve learned that watching soccer games is very helpful for your improvement although I should follow my own example because I don’t like watching soccer games. Many people, mostly men, take these games and tournaments very seriously. It’s like a soap opera for men because they don’t miss a game. It’s very fun to see people watch games because they get involved in the game like they were the ones playing. It is very funny and entertaining.
