| Some people call it futbol, calico, voesbol, or
fussball. You probably know it best as soccer. The game has been played
all over the world for hundreds of years. In the early days of soccer the
Romans would kick animal bladders trying to get them into the opponent
goal. Soccer has evolved over the past years.
Some people think all soccer is just a bunch of people running up and down the field. Although they are partly right there are a bunch of people running up and down the field for over 30 minutes there's much more to it. There are dangerous tackles leaving you on the ground, slide tackles giving you painful brush burns, concussion headers, and sprints to the ball that leave you nothing but mouthfuls of grass. There is also the won tackles, headers long balls and fifty balls that leave you right in front of the net with nothing to do but shoot the ball right past the keeper into the back of the net. Soccer is an intense sport that's a ton of fun and as Mia Hamm would say Go for the Goal!! |
