SOCCER!

With over 3.5 billion fans worldwide, football ("soccer") is the most admired sport on the planet. The crowds chant and sing. The teams race back and forth sometimes nowhere near the goal for much of the game. The referees chase after the players, just dying to toss a small square card at players for rule infractions. One of my favorite aspects of the game is the fact that it does not matter who is playing, young, old, male or female- the fan support for the game that they are watching is the same. The action is fast paced, and when there is a goal, it is almost like a magical moment!

For me, this sport is like heaven. I just love the feeling when I get to blast a ball into the back of the net! I have been playing this sport for over 5 years. I’m selected to play for the school team as well. So I consider myself as an experienced soccer player. After all soccer is my favorite sport J!
