Quarter Two


The next activity we did in Physical Education was my one of my favorite sports soccer. Soccer for me was on the most exciting sport before basketball. I could have even tried out for soccer but I wasn’t very good at it, but I enjoyed playing the game overall.

Soccer is basically two teams, each with a goalie that protects each team’s goal post. A soccer team usually has a goalie, two defenders to defend the goal post with the goalie, two-three midfielders, who then pass to or attack with the attacker which is usually one to two people. There is also a team captain and a coach. Each team has the right to swap 3 times with players that are substitutes, when a player that is currently playing gets tired, the coach has a right to swap that player with someone that is ready.

A player can also leave the field if he get two yellow cards or one automatic red card, if he injures a player, or disrespects anther player from the other team, or the referee himself. Then the other team can get a penalty at the other team’s goal.

This game I think, and many people other than me think, that It’s a very amazing game and is loved by everyone around the world, and it’s purpose is to make people happy and cheer for their home countries team during the world cup that is going to come in the next two years.
