Nothing More

I’m lost. For all of you readers that like this blog because it’s about soccer, I’m sorry to dispapoint you because I have no idea what to write anymore. Any suggestions? I mean, I really like soccer but to play it… not to write about it. I wanted to write about it at the beginning because I don’t have many passions and that was the only thing that came to my mind. But now, I’m starting to regret it. When writing posts, I can’t really express my feelings that much because it’s all about collecting the facts and that just bores me. Let’s say I decide to write about a soccer game. Yes, I can say how I feel about the results and the players but it’s mostly just collecting the facts and reporting what happened. It involves research and time but I prefer to talk about something that I know about and don’t have many opportunities in giving voice to the writing. The other day in class, we had a discussion about giving voice to our writing. Voice is very important because it differentiates out writing from the rest which is very important because writing something is not the same thing as saying it. When saying something, we can give it our “personal touch” but when writing something, it’s just the same as everything else so voice is something very important so that people feel like they’re talking to them and that there is a uniqueness in the writing. When I write about soccer, it is harder for me to give that voice to my blog. So what can I do to give that voice but still talk about soccer? Well, let me tell you that I’m going to keep writing about soccer for the rest of the school year but I’m going to try to write more about some experiences that I myself had with soccer than informing about a soccer event.

Soccer Tournament

The other day the middle school was told that there was going to be a soccer game at ICS. The soccer season had ended so we were all surprised that there was a soccer game out of the sudden. We were told about 2 weeks before so when the day came, I had already forgotten. I hadn’t brought the soccer uniform nor the cleats and socks. I wasn’t ready to play and I wasn’t feeling very well to go so I decided not to go to the game. Unfortunately, not many people were going so I was asked to go. I had to call my mom quickly so that I could get my uniform on time and be able to go play. My mom was able to get the stuff on time and I hurried to get ready. So we went to the school after a half hour bus ride. When we got there, we waited for the other team to get there so that we could start playing. We were having this game because the ICS school was having of a sports day. We were in the semifinals but the other team never came and we won for default so we went directly to play in the finals with ICS. The game was different than other games because we only played with 6 players including the goalkeeper and the game only lasted 30 minutes with 15 minutes each half. The game was quick but not that easy. The other team’s goalkeeper was very good and tough. She wasn’t afraid to jump in front of the ball and risk getting hurt. There was another girl that really got in my nerves because she wouldn’t let me play and one time, I  was running with the ball and she bumped into me from the side and I fell to the ground. I wasn’t hurt or anything but it really annoyed me. The rest of the game went pretty well. Marian scored a goal and the other team scored a goal, too. It was a tie so we went to penalties. After a long while of shooting at the goal, Eva scored a goal and we won the finals. We won the tournament and a trophy was given to us. Even though the game wasn’t that long, I had a really good time and enjoyed playing again.

The following  posts are going to inform you about some important events that caught my attention and I believe that they will catch yours, too. Soccer is my passion but I’m not going to talk about myself because there is much more to it that just playing it. Please enojoy the following posts that I hope will show you that even though soccer may be risky, it is a beautiful sport that should be enjoyed by many people.
