Make sure the beers are cold added another of the group After an hour, the bar was full of patrons. Call me, Bonzo; the man with the scar told the bartender. And that man with a…

To What Extent Is FIFA Destroying The World Of Football? Football is one of the world’s most popular and most played sport in the world. The contemporary history of this beautiful game dates all the way back to 1863 when the Football Association (FA) was formed in England. Football had already been introduced and played many years prior to the FA’s founding in 1863; however, October 26, 1863 was the date that eleven London football club and school representatives came together at a tavern with…

As the warm, July sun broke out of its slumber and the twilight sky vanished, I was trudging deep into the Steens Mountains along with one-hundred other runners. Months of sweat and callused feet were spent preparing for this one day: Big Day. Stories told by past campers filled my ears, giving me nightmares and excitement. The first eighteen miles whizzed by as we hiked through the dehydrated bushes with the beating sun gazing down on us. The real story layed within the last couple of miles.…

The final shot of extra time came barreling at me. It was just to the right of me. So I did what goalkeepers do best and picked it out of the air and brought the ball along with my body to the ground. As I was getting up off the ground I heard the ear piercing sound of the final whistle. Everyone on the field, along with myself, stomachs sank because they knew the game was headed for a PK shootout. But for me it was different. This was my dream. This was all I dreamt about for 8 years of my life…

playing at a high level of soccer till this day. In 2008 I played on my first team, Concorde Fire Black. We traveled many places including Disney World where we placed second in the National Disney Showcase. Our team name is now named United Football Association Gold, but I still play with the girls I started playing soccer with. We still continue to travel and win many tournaments, last year we won our division. Playing and loving soccer is something that hasn’t changed in my life and I hope it…

My family has always been a sports family. Ever since I can remember the entirety of my life outside of school has revolved around sports. For my dad it was soccer, a sport which I played and enjoyed but unlike my parents, when they were younger, I had a burning desire to play hockey. Hours of running wildly around my house dressed in goalie equipment, finally convinced my parents to sign their 5 year old up for timbits hockey. I enjoyed playing the game for many years to follow, and still do…

The Central High School soccer team would make history in the season 2013-2014, and not one single person expects it. In the season there were only three more crucial games left before the big decisive game. Central prepared diligently, even staying after practice to ensure we were all ready for the biggest game in the soccer’s program, against our biggest rival, Smiths Station. While both Central and Smiths believed that they were ready to come off of that green soccer field with a victory,…

When you live in a small town, people seem to doubt that you will ever move on to bigger and better things. When you seem different than everyone else, or have different motivations, goals and interests, people seem to think you will falter in your attempt to achieve your goals. The reality is, no matter where you come from, or what your interests are, the only time you will encounter a detour on your road to success, is when you lack self-confidence and the necessary work ethic. On the road to…

David and Goliath: Without God Spring. I gaze out into the dreary weather, feeling the damp grass beneath my soccer cleats. I glance across the field, eyeing the other team; bigger, stronger, better. My team, an exhausted, wet mess, huddles around our coach. He says something, but I don’t hear it. My heart, drowning my coach out, becomes independent; beating faster and faster. “... we’re almost there. We almost have it. Just a penalty shootout!” My coach’s confident voice comes to me suddenly…
