Soccer is my favorite sport and I can’t imagine not paying soccer. I play for the LCSC club select division. My team is pretty good and I think we are in third place. One of my friends from Stevenson Joey Demarco is also on my team. If we win our last games we will be in first place. I haven’t been playing soccer for long but I still am pretty good. This is my first year of playing with a club before this I had played for my school.
I like club soccer better because now I am playing forward and facing better opponents. I have two goals and with a few more games left I am looking to adding to that total. Soccer is a great sport and by far is the most popular sport in the world. Every country that I know of has soccer teams. One of the reason soccer is the most popular sport in the world is because of how cheap it is to play soccer. I find soccer fun and a invigorating to play. My favorite part of soccer is how you can be physical without killing someone like in football.
Soccer to me is a fairly simple game to learn. I speak from experience because I use to play football believe it or not. I was the leading tackler for three years straight, but when I got to light because of the weight limit change I was endangering myself going up against 160 pound guys when I only weighed eighty. So my dad wanted me to try soccer and see if I liked it. Well after a week of getting use to it I loved it. Now I am good and still love to play and don’t plan on quitting soccer ever. It is fun and I like knowing that I can be good at a lot more than one sport.
In conclusion soccer is the most popular sport in the world and I play it. It is fairly simple to learn and get good at, and it is nice to be good at more than one sport. I think people misunderstand what soccer is all about and are quick to call it a sissy sport. I once though this but came to a realization of that it is not that much of a sissy sport. Soccer is surprisingly physical and people do not need to be so quick to judge it.
