Soccer




Soccer is a sport that many kids, teenagers, and even adults participate in. It's a sport known universally as football, but only in the United States it's known as soccer. Soccer is a game played by two teams formed by eleven players, on each team. These two teams compete trying to score as many goals as possible. And, of course, the team with the most goals wins at the end. Soccer is an hour and a half game, plus sometimes a few more minutes which are referred to as overtime. Overtime does make a difference in any sport or activity. Soccer requires some difficult or easy skills depending on how able you are to learn and understand those skills. This leads us to introduce some skills soccer might require as a physical sport, I will list them here:
Running, quickness, teamwork, sportsmanship, skills, and effort are all basis that create soccer. One of the most important physical requirements needed is to be able to run fast. The field is about 110 yards, and the player has to be able to run that distance in less than 40 seconds in order to know if he is physically fit for the sport. Also, the player needs some flexibility in order to jump high and react fast, like switching directions of running in a split second. This might sound easy, but trust me it is not as easy as it sounds. The way you kick the ball, how you throw a throw-in, or how you hit a header are all examples of the different skills you may have that are different from your own teammate. There are also some individual skills that aren't required, but might predict your experience with the sport, such as bouncing the ball using all body parts. I consider myself good: bouncing the ball 320 times, in the air, using all body parts except my arms and hands while eating a sandwich. Now, that might sound easy but it takes a lot of effort to do so. Soccer has one really strong requirement and skill; the player has to have sportsmanship, he needs to always address and cheer his teammates when losing, and if the player is one of those athletes that don't like to lose at all then soccer isn't the sport for him, this all leads up to the player's temperament.
A soccer player's character should be one of the calmest personalities. The opponent might not have the same concept so that's why you should think that the opponent is crazy and you're the normal one. Assuming that makes you want to avoid temper throughout the whole game. However, you don't want to let your opponent feel that you're weak. You should be talking to your teammates and guiding them through the game. As FIFA (Federation Internationale De Football Association) said, "You can judge a team by their captain (leader)". However, the captain takes full responsibility of his teammates mistakes on the field. For this reason, not many of the players prefer to be a captain. The structure of the team helps the captain communicate with his teammates; also it is his responsibility to decide who takes a penalty kick or a throw-in, this is really hectic because he also has to play the game.
The team is made up of eleven players, as I mentioned before. One of the eleven players is the goalie, and the goalie's job is obvious from the name. His duty is to protect the goal from any balls going in within a certain box called the 18. It's called the 18 because it's a square that has sides of 18 meters. The goalie is the only player that can touch the ball with his hands within this distance. After the goalie is the defense. There are many ways to play this game but usually it's played with four players on defense. Three players lined up and the forth, who is called the sweeper, stands just a little behind, his duty is to clear all balls that accidentally slip by the other three defenders. Then, the midfield, which is also made up of four players, two wingers and two midfielders, has the most difficult duty. They have to play all around the field, defending, scoring and also making sure the ball goes to our last two players. The forward is formed out of two players. These two players are not to be in their teams half field unless the team is losing. So their job is to receive balls from the midfield and score. However, they do help defending when the team is in a losing situation. When every player performs his duty as well as he/she could then you find the good team that wins and never fights with their opponent.
Soccer is an interesting sport; many like to play and others just enjoy watching. It's not hard to gain skill or play soccer all that is needed is practice, and practice makes everything. As a soccer player you should think of how bad you want to win, not how good or bad you are. So if you really like the sport and want to play it, you'll do well. However, on the other hand, if you just want to play the game to say you play a sport, that doesn't really help at all. It took me 12 years to become one of the most athletes to participate in many soccer tournaments. I even played professional, which was an awesome experience that gave me more lessons than I knew. Soccer is a sport that u cant forget how to play, the ability to play it wont be the same but u cant lose skills once u learn them. I play soccer every once in awhile but not as I used to play before. It's a great experience and worth the time that's wasted while playing soccer.
