Soccer’s appeal was in its opposition to the other popular sports. Soccer in America isn’t meant to be violent, it is used as a way for parents to project their values.

I recall going to school where I spoke English and then going home where I spoke Spanish.…

Clichés seem to always crowd the mind whenever we try to speak meaningfully about the things we love. In particular, the beautiful game of soccer always seems to mock our efforts to describe its genuine beauty. Nothing in the world could ever match the enjoyment of playing soccer. Both mentally and physically. Whenever you play, you can't help but feel the individual nerves tingle throughout your body along with the adrenaline coursing through your blood stream.…

Many people think that soccer is easy because there is no smashing into other players like in football or shooting a ball into an 18” hoop like in basketball. What those people may not understand is soccer requires skills and techniques in order to be an effective player. I have learned that the only way to be better is to practice. This is why I play, train, and practice about fifteen hours of soccer each week. I did not actually start playing competitive soccer until I was 12.…

Since its conception, the beautiful game of soccer has been a sport played all over the world, played by many ages and admired by all. In Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa, soccer is as big of a deal, if not more, than American football is in the United States. While soccer has not been in the United States for that long, the American people do not elevate it to the same status as they do baseball, basketball, or football. In the rest of the world, soccer is considered to be their pastime and they watch it at all times of the year and have a great love and respect for the game that cannot be compared to a love for another sport.…
