Soccer: My Sport

Soccer was created during the Han dynasty in china, 200 BC. This game was originally Tsu Chu (Tsu means to kick while Chu denotes to a ball made of leather). As time goes by, the game and its name changes like any other game does. In America and English speaking countries, this game is called soccer but in elsewhere, this is called FUTBALL. This is also the only game where you can use every part of your body to hit the ball, except you hands. Only the goalkeeper can use his hands during a game. The strikers or the forwards make the goal while the last men and goalkeeper tries to defend their goal area. The midfielder plays both last men and as forwards.
The reasons why I love this game is not only it is the most popular game in the world, it only requires less rules which can make you move your body any way you like and SIZE does not matter.
The best forward for now is Rhomphete while the best goalkeeper is Amil in our school, both of them are third year students. I have an aim to be the best midfielder or best last man.
Soccer may be fun but sometimes, it can also hurt you in many ways. For example, Goerge hit the ball so hard that when the ball hit my “BALLS”, I was on the floor trying not to shout for there were students taking their tests. Another is when you have a team mate that is very shelfish during a game or practice (in dialect, we call this kind of guys buaya). Like “Mr. Croc”, he always shows off his skills and whenever we have practices, he asks for a ball to come near him, he doesn’t get it for himself. He really has a lot of pride for himself and it is also because of him why I was not able to play soccer in the intramurals which made me very depressed and discouraged. They lost there game during the intramurals because of his selfishness, good for him.
For 3 consecutive months, I was not able to play soccer for I vowed to myself not to play soccer any more until Sir. Salera, our PE teacher said to us that we would have a tournament against ourselves. We were divided into 4 groups and the teams are the following:
White Madrid: team Capt. Andre
Members: Louei
Ian
George
John R.
Black Hawk Down: team Capt. Me, John J
Members: Jay
Rieland
Jade
Fidel
Elmar
Blue Jeans: team Capt. Nikolai
Members: Raul
Kevin
Reiner
Rary
Ariel
De Greenation X: team Capt. Psalm
Members: Paolo
Jhul
Dan
Raymark
Our team was not that strong but because we believed in one another’s abilities, we were able to win the championship in the round 1 undefeated.
After the tournament, Sir announced to us that there will be another tournament but this time, our enemies will be the higher years. Each year level will be divided into two groups, Team A(the ROOKIES) and the Team B(the BIGGENERS).
We really had a big chance on winning the championship if only Fidel did not forget what he learned from the other games but it was just OK, we still won 3rd price and we had better results than of team A.
So, therefore I conclude that the important thing in a team is not the MVP, not the coach but the team itself and its teamwork.
